Christopher Uschan – Chief Blogger and Online Marketing Director

One of the things Chris loves most about his job at Omnipress is sharing quality information with the meeting professional community. He’s the most prolific blogger at Omnipress, having written helpful articles on social media, marketing, tips for speakers, conference critiques and more. And he’s the infamous coordinator behind hilarious (and embarrassing) staff events such as the great Christmas Karaoke Sing Off and the “Things You Didn’t Know about Omnipress Staff” meme.

Chris is also the main force behind Engage365.org, our online community about using social media for events.
