Sun, Sand and Surf - A Cohesive Incentive Event In Cancun

Image
Yes, we do ❤️ our job! Alisa Walsh, Brynne Peña and Rebecca Fernandez Motus were the lucky 3 who got to work in Cancun, Mexico, last week. 6 days of sun, surf and sand - but you know that we don't actually have time to swim and tan. We were very honored to have been selected by our U.S. client to work in Mexico for this event. The Event: a 3-day incentive program Location: Cancun, Mexico Guests: 550 Director of Business Development Alisa Walsh:  "We are very pleased to have been brought into this event in Mexico by our client. We work together regularly and they trust us to bring together all the pieces necessary to create a cohesive incentive event, no matter where in the world it takes place. We planned from abroad, at home in Los Angeles, but made several trips for site visits and conferences with all parties involved. It was a pleasure to consult with everyone involved to bring our client's vision that we are familiar with to this new location." Ou...

Yes, We Can Include Happiness Generating Factors In Your Event.

Image
It sure is a stressful world these days. But there is hope - and many ideas on how to make your guests feel HAPPY. Buzzwords 'Happiness' and 'Wellness' seem to pop up everywhere these days. #Bestlife is trending. Serious science supports the thought that 'happiness', while defined differently depending on culture and era, affects our health and overall performance. Kristen Rensch, Vice President and Executive Producer, reports from the Integratron in Joshua Tree, CA. Wellness seminars and motivational workshops have existed for a long time. However, nowadays, happiness generating factors that enhance the guest engagement, and ultimately the work performance, at corporate events are in demand and we are exploring and happily testing many different techniques that work for a large diverse group. IMEX 2019 in Frankfurt, Germany, focuses on "Imagination" with the goal of increasing workplace creativity.  ‘Everyone has the potential to think ...

Let's Hear It For The Moms!

Image
Let's hear it for all the moms. It is time to say THANK YOU for all they do for their children and their families. We are in awe of our Floral Artist Rebecca, mother of 5, and our Creative Director Kate Brack, mother of 2 very young children. They make the enormous task of balancing their families' needs and their hard work for EventWorks seem effortless. Somehow they juggle life home and on event sites with ease, and probably little sleep. They still show up with pep in their step and large smiles, looking fab. We bet your mothers do the same. So let's hear it for MOM! Did you know that musicians of every genre wrote songs to celebrate their moms? Yes, Tupac Shakur and Spice Girls. Snoop Dogg and Celine Dion. We have them all on our special Mother's Day Playlist and we invite you to get into the groove this week. If you need a refresher on How To Make A Beautiful Floral Bouquet, please visit our BLOG . HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!
