THE NEWS from EventWorks, Inc.

Alisa Walsh started her messages off with "Nihao, China". By Day 2 at ITB China, her message read:  #bestsalestripever. Alisa Walsh: "I was very grateful to join the Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board group to attend the first ITB in China. We just received the 2016 visitors statistics: one MILLION Chinese visited California. The numbers are expected to grow. So this was my biggest sales mission, yet." The Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board had a lot to celebrate during the visit to China. The Los Angeles booth, featuring displays by EventWorks, Warner Bros., The Beverly Center, Universal Studios Hollywood, The London Hotel and the Westin Bonaventure Hotel, received a steady stream of high numbers of visitors during the trade show.  Alisa Walsh: "We were really busy all the time.

Our lucky team members are still swooning to the sounds of ukulele music. We had the wonderful opportunity to work with a cherished client on a series of events in Paradise: Location: The incredible Four Seasons Resort Lānaʻi The Event: a multiple-days incentive event for 300 guests.  We still feel Aloha in our hearts.  Our work allows us to spend time in many beautiful locations but judging by our team members' Facebook postings, the Four Seasons Resort Lānaʻi cast a special kind of magic over our crew. We keep hearing "Paradise" and "Fantasy Island".  Producing a series of Welcome Events, business meetings and a Grand Banquet Night for our client, who had bought out the resort for this event, allowed us to customize and brand with abandon. The island of Lānaʻi is the most undisturbed, unspoiled and remote of the inhabited Hawaiian islands. Working here was an incredible experience. We were allowed to brand more than ever before, starting with t...

As we all get ready to honor our moms this coming Sunday, we would like to take a moment to honor one of the hardest working moms of three amazing children we know, our floral assistant Aracely. On her own, and as sole provider, with her three children (pictured here above with her children and nephew, EventWorks in-house artist Frankie) for over a decade, Aracely has succeeded in raising her two daughters and her son to be amazing achievers and goal-oriented, hard working young people we love. Asked what her secret is, she smiles and explains, that it was at times difficult, but that her kids all did their part. This is one tight, supportive family! The EventWorks team is close knit and we have watched the children grow and thrive. We recently became aware how much these young people have already achieved when oldest daughter Alexxia, 22, discussed her college application progress with us. Alexxia, 22: Alexxia is bi-lingual English/Spanish and proficient in French. She is a...
