If you have ever watched the Jerry Seinfeld viral web series “Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee,” you will immediately recognize the format of our current podcast. This is definitely NOT the show about nothing. In the tradition of CICGC, we pick up Shelby Events Manager Karen Bishop in a car that suits her personality (2012 Mustang Convertible). We get to know Karen a little better on the ride over to the café. Then we sit down for a cup of coffee and conversation. Get the “behind the scenes” story of ISC, and discover how new ideas and improvements are made each year. Find out who our keynote speaker will be and why he was chosen. Don’t miss the exciting conclusion of this parody podcast as we drive back to the Shelby Headquarters and discuss our favorite moments from last year’s conference as we look forward to fun in the sun in Orlando, FL!
