Central Kansas Chapter of the
American Disc Jockey Association
Midwest Mobile Entertainers Seminar a Huge Success!
Wichita, Kansas became the center for DJ activity
in the Midwest when the first annual Midwest Mobile Entertainers Seminar
was held at the Wichita Marriott on January 22-23, 2006.
Approximately 75 attendees representing 60
companies from 4 states came together to be educated, enlightened and
entertained by nationally renown presenter and entertainer, the Gamemaster
Scott Faver. Scott graciously spoke both days on topics including
marketing, games, managing and entertaining at both corporate events and
wedding receptions. Former Kansas City Disc Jockey Association president
and former ADJA board member, Ron Ruth, shared information about the ADJA
on Sunday and conducted a round table discussion on Monday. A
representative from DigiGames also hosted an after-party Sunday night to
display and demonstrate games including Jeopardy, Street Smarts and Family
Feud.
Many supporters of the DJ community provided
sponsorship and donations to make the event possible. Donor/Sponsors
included the ADJA, Phil Uhlik Music, Complete Music, Ron Brown, American
DJ, Denon DJ, Northern Light FX, Jewelsleeve, Sure Glow, Shure, Promo
Only, TM Century, the Tux Shop, the Dallas DJ Convention, Mobile Beat,
Disc Jockey News and others. Lucky winners received a variety of items
including a projector, amplifiers, lights, speakers and a variety of
electronics, passes, music, DJ wear and accessories.
Most importantly, the one year old Wichita
chapter of 11 members was able to add four more members to its
roster, increasing the membership of the WA2DJA to 15. Last year
then-ADJA president, Peter Merry, aided in the formation of the Wichita
chapter by traveling to Wichita and challenging DJ's to get involved.
In support of the Kansas City chapter, several
Wichita members traveled to Kansas City January 29 to enjoy “Schtick
Night” with the KCADJA.
