ISES New York Metro

On Tuesday January 31st the ISES NY Metro chapter held it’s monthly Chapter event with special guest speakers David Adler, Founder & CEO, BizBash Media and Jennifer Trethewey, founder The JT Group and Chair of ISES Australasia. The gathering was graciously hosted by the Andaz 5th Avenue in their innovative Apartment 2E meeting space. The open kitchen and lounge areas of this residential environment created a warm and intimate setting.

The Andaz prides itself on serving farm fresh food with seasonal and creative menus tailored specifically for each event.  After enjoying networking, wine and delicious mini hors d’oeuvres guests were guided to the meeting and treated to a bird’s-eye view of the historic New York Public Library.

David Adler opened the program with 15 Trends in 15 Minutes. Always entertaining, cutting-edge and insightful, David show-cased Prezi, a zoomable cloud-based presentation software. He began by encouraging us as Event Planners to think like a Summer Camp marketer from the 1960’s. Like camp, an event should be a unique, memorable experience that bonds a group.
