437. One website that lists every balloon event

Ever gone down a rabbit hole trying to figure out when the next balloon training is happening? Same. Turns out one of our own spotted that gap and decided to build the fix herself. Dori of Total Party returns to the podcast and this time we're live at the International Balloon Convention. First up in the conversation: balloonindustrycalendar.com, the free resource she created to put every balloon training, class, seminar and conference in one searchable place. Seriously, go bookmark it through the link below. Then we switched gears to the MBP (Master Balloon Profesional) Sempertex certification that was offered for the first time in the US at IBC, making  Dori one of the first to take it here. She walks us through how it compares to the old CBA, what the test actually involves and her honest advice if you're thinking about getting certified. Whether you're brand new or a total OG, this conversation has something you need to know about.    In the UGlu Hotline, hear a fun tip about what to look for during back to school time.    Unlock three free bonus episodes!    RESOURCES MENTIONED: Sales Sets Havin' A Party Wholesale (save 5% on orders $200+ with code PODCAST) buildwiththeguild.com UGlu by Pro Tapes (save 5% on orders $200+ at Havin' A Party with code PODCAST)  DM @thebrightballoon on Instagram to ask a question or leave advice for the UGlu Hotline! 2026 Bright Balloon Planner  balloonindustrycalendar.com  - - - - On the Bright Side Apple | Patreon Join the Bright Balloon email list  The Bright Balloon on YouTube
