New York, New York - February 18, 2005 - BiZBash Media's BiZBash Event Style Reporter, the trade publication serving corporate event and meeting professionals in New York, published its fourth annual list of "New York's Top 100 Events" in its February/March 2005 issue, released today. BiZBash's editors ranked the most important annual events in every industry, including entertainment, fashion and beauty, and media, as well as the city's biggest trade shows, parades, and benefits.

"These special events make a huge impact on the city, both culturally and financially," said Chad Kaydo, BiZBash Media's editor in chief. "They bring together the top people in New York's various industries, they generate money for the tourism and event industries, and they entertain millions of people."

Included on the list are nationally televised events including the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and the Tony awards; public events such as the Revlon Run/Walk for Women and the Puerto Rican Day Parade; and business-minded events such as the Greater New York Dental Meeting and American International Toy Fair.

The latest issue of BiZBash's newspaper also includes "New York's Top 10 Event Designers," a list of the most creative, inventive designers working on corporate events.
