We are so thrilled and grateful to have been honored with a Gala Award for Best Event Entertainment Concept and Execution: Budget Above $100,000 for "the Sky is the Limit", the re-opening of the Pacific Ballroom in Long Beach, CA.


But we also had a wonderful time at last week's The Special Event Conference in Anaheim, CA, meeting colleagues, making friends, exchanging ideas, and learning about new trends and technologies.

Time well spend to recharge our professional batteries!



As Conference Ambassador I was happy to greet and welcome all of the attendees to a sunny, record-breaking warm Orange County, CA.

Thank you for attending our work shop, "Sales Strategies: How to Increase Sales and Maintain a Competitive Edge".
Our panel consisted of EventWorks' Janet Elkins and Kristen Rensch, Kathy Miller from Total Event Resources, Connie Riley from T. Skorman Productions who stepped in for last minute prevented Dianne Devitt, Sally Webb Berry from The Special Event Company and multi-tasking Harith Wickrema from Harith Productions, Temple University and Eco Serendib Villa and Spa.
We had fun sharing our experience and we were thrilled to meet our attendees in our "deep dives" where we got a chance to sit together as groups and get deeper into the questions and issues at hand!


















Last but not least, we are very proud of the achievements of our Director of Floral and Event Design Kate Brack who co-chaired the After Party!

She had 30 minutes to turnover the room! A tough job that took an amazing crew!

A true Before and After Situation!


I had a great time last week!
Can't wait to do it again! Meanwhile I am looking forward to staying in touch by phone, email and Facebook!
Warm regards,
Janet

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire...

Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line...
