| ISES Eventworld Goes On Despite Tropical Storm Threat |
|
Tropical Storm Fay may have made things a bit soggier, but the International Special Events Society's Eventworld, the organization's annual international conference, continued last Thursday through Saturday at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort & Golf Club in St. Petersburg and received rave reviews from attendees:
"It was a wonderful success for us as a company and personally. We showcased our products, including the launch of our new InterAct TV, and had a great response from attendees." -J.C. York, director of client services, Wise Guys
"I was actually the entertainment chair for Eventworld, so I got to work with committee to plan the three days, served as entertainment sponsor for the opening session and Esprit Awards Gala, and was there as an attendee; so I was really involved from all sides. Overall, I thought it was very well coordinated by event staff and the Vinoy and extremely well attended, despite the tropical storm and travel issues." -Dorene Collier, president of Event Show Productions |

"Eventworld is about bring everyone together from around the world and giving them a chance to network and have educational offerings; and from that standpoint, it was a success. Education sessions were very broad-based and offered something for everyone, and there was a lot of excitement over the Disney trip; we really had good attendance." -Paul Creighton, CSEP, executive vice president of T. Skorman Productions Inc.
"It was my first one, so I was really excited to be there and actually posted a blog about it! I knew that I'd be seeing some people I hadn't seen in a while and got some great networking out of it. It definitely lived up to what I expected, in that I'd heard it was a more intimate conference, had a bit more focus and people on a more level playing field. Plus, the Search event was phenomenal!" -Elisa Delgario, CSEP, A Flair for Affairs
"I had expected a higher attendance based on previous word of mouth, but I do feel that, in spite of the tropical storm threat, we made a lot of great contacts. It was really wonderful to meet so many different people, especially the award nominees, and to see what other colleagues are doing in the industry." -Rossalind Ryan, sales manager for Showorks
—D. Channing Muller
