According to Richard Aaron, president of the BiZBash.com Idea Center, "Event professionals are constantly trying to come up with new ways to make their events unique and effective. The BiZBash Event Style Alert will be their eyes and ears to all aspects of the event and business entertaining market. No other media is providing the information that will be available through the BiZBash Event Style Alert."

A team of writers and editors led by BiZBash Managing Editor Joanne Lasky (jlasky@bizbash.com) and BiZBash Features Editor Chad Kaydo (ckaydo@bizbash.com) are poring over a flood of invitations and are covering New York City events ranging from press conferences, product launches and IPOs to charity balls, protest marches and parades - keeping an ear out for the next new venues, products and services of interest to event professionals.

Highlights of the first BiZBash Event Style Alert include:

· The after party at the MTV Video Music Awards
· Discovering the hot downtown club called Fun
· Great giveaway ideas including a baker who can put a picture-perfect image on cookies
· Different entertainment ideas including a graphologist (AKA a handwriting analyst) who can read personality traits in the patterns of people's handwriting
· News about technology that can help event professionals identify the guests in all the pictures taken at an event
· Event "war" stories; news about restaurant openings and staff changes; and a list of the 10 best books for event professionals.
