Event Overview

ODU sold more seats and picked up more sponsors than last year. Everyone was very excited to see Johnny Bench.

Results

The people who attended were on the edge of their seat with every word Johnny Bench said. He was very well spoken, courteous and spent extra time with VIP sponsors.

Lessons Learned

Start Q&A Session earlier in the evening so we don’t have to cut off people with questions due to time restraints

Future Recommendations

Make a list of the first names of all VIP sponsors and have athlete personalize a signed program for each one
