| ISES Gala Celebrates 20th Birthday With Hollywood Theme |
|
|
On Sunday night, the Washington Chapter of the International Special Events Society held its 20th anniversary award gala, at the Omni Shoreham Hotel. With 430 attendees, 100 volunteers, and 40 committee members, the evening took on vintage Hollywood motifs, from the V.I.P. reception with a backstage feel (complete with star-decked dressing-room doors) to the black-and-white dinner decor.
“We really wanted our 20th to be a tribute to our members and show that Washington is not a town just for politics—it’s a town for events,” said ISES president Kelley Gillespie, who worked on the event with gala chairs Susan Katz, Terri Bergman, and Debra Berkelhammer of Distinctive Events. |
