Alisa Walsh Honored to Co-Chair MPISCC 2017 (WE)CON

-

Our Director of Sales, Alisa Walsh, is grateful to have had the opportunity to co-chair the MPISCC 2017 (WE)CON event this past weekend.

"We had a 1:1 ratio of planners and suppliers, which was a great way to meet and connect with colleagues and build relationships, that will be really valuable to all of us. But besides the business aspects, we had a wonderful time mingling, learning and participating in great group activities.
As co-chair, I was in charge of hotel logistics, which ties in so well with my previous professional life. It was an interesting experience to work with a hotel from the "other side". I know how hard it is to impress 130 meeting and event planners and suppliers. Our host hotel did a fabulous job."

Looking swell under professional pressure!


Alisa Walsh, Co-Chair,
and Michelle Thornton,
Chair of the Weekend Education Conference,
got ready with a professional blow dry at Fashion Island.

Alisa: "We had a truly outstanding and inspiring group of Keynote Speakers.
We learned a lot about loyalty during James Kane's session on Friday morning." 
"We were thrilled to experience the high-energy presentation "The 10 K's of Personal Branding" by Kaplan Mobray." 
"Amanda Armstrong presented "Evolving Trends in 2017",
Mike Staver reminded us how to manage "Staying Calm Under Pressure".
Michael Dominguez's closing speech was the perfect match in a changing time in our industry!
"The Impact of the New Administration on Our Industry" will have everyone talking and sharing for quite some time to come!

However, it was not all hard work! We had time to play! Thanks to MGM Resort's sponsorship we experienced a SoulCycle class.

Saturday morning at 7am sharp we enjoyed an organized fitness class that was a part of the program led by Joe Martin of BDI Events. Joe is also VP of Education for MPISCC." 
 "Thank heaven for all the workout activities! We splurged on a delicious dinner and drinks at a Lego-themed party with a CSR component on Friday night."



"(WE)CON was also  great way to reconnect with friends!"

Here at EventWorks, we are all grateful for Alisa's endless energy! 7am workouts after a late night - now that is true dedication to her work!

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...

San Luis Obispo Museum of Art - wrapped in The Red Line by Doron Gazit. 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...
