Join me, Wayne Wallgren, as I say goodbye to hosting MICE Talk 360 after four years, 90+ podcasts, and almost 5,000 downloads. There's no way I'll be able to thank all those that agreed to be interviewed, who sponsored, who helped promote, and who were patient as I continually made it up as I went along, but I have to try, so here goes: 

Adios, Arrivederci, Au Revoir, Adeus, Auf Wiedersehen, Sayōnara, De Svidaniya, Annyeong, Slan and Tot Ziens. And last but not least - Thank you.

 

I hope you've enjoyed the ride as much as I have.
