You were probably wondering what happened to the banquet server at the Seattle Sheraton Hotel, who spontaneously participated in the MPI Summit and accepted money….. he was required to donate the $20 to charity, and that’s it! The Sheraton says that while they don’t encourage staff to participate in client-hosted events, in this situation it was fine.


Happy Holidays from the staff at RealTime Productions!
