SUCCESS!

The first ISES NY Metro Event Boot Camp was a success!  Thirty “soldiers” arrived at the Sofitel NY to hear and see 9 past presidents from the chapter discuss different aspects of the Events Industry.  Topics included an Industry Overview, Contracts and RFP’s, and Design and Décor. One thing that was stated over and over again was LISTEN to your client and always take their needs into consideration when developing and pitching your ideas and plan.

Before the evening State of the UNION program, the Boot Camp group got time to interact with the instructors.  Other event professionals arrived to continue in on the networking.  At our Event Industry State of the Union, lead by Bizbash’ own president Richard Aaron in conjunction with a panel of Liz Glover Wilson, Elizabeth Rose Consulting, Van Allen Rice, CSEP, Bestek Lighting & Staging, Jane T. White, CSEP, Virginia Beach Convention Center, Kevin White, CSEP, XPL

Here are some of the ideas covered as heard through our Twitter feed:

• How is the events world changing? Increasing sustainability, green technology (esp in fundraising), LED lighting, mobile technology #ises

• Sustainability. it is changing our industry. Good business – who is sustainable out there? Knowledge is power!

• @2xpl “outside of agriculture…venues are the greatest contributors to greenhouse gases” #isesnyc #event industry State of the Union

• Finding a “bigger family” and “lifelong friendships” with #isesnyc State of the Union http://t.co/cM8PLX8AEF

• Social Media is creating a new breed of event producer / event marketing / activation says Van Allen Rice. #ises #isesnyc

• Event architects have to continue to be more marketing and social media oriented in their work. Almost experts. #eventprofs #ises

• Data, the new frontier! #eventprofs #events #ises says Kevin White #sotu state of the union

• @neumansnyc President of isesnyc welcomes #ISES NY Metro Chapter & says “get involved!” http://t.co/T4VFbRmSnl

• Events tied to development have to be very careful of messaging. Concern about stakeholders, funders, and donors. #eventprofs #ises

• Event planners are becoming more like event architects – the roles and demands have significantly changed and increased. #eventprofs

@ElenaBrower
• Feel the wholeness of your experiences – even embarrassment, who or what you can’t forgive. Meditate for 5 minutes/day

• Breathing is a gift. More oxygen creates an inhospitable environment for disease

• “You take care of who you are in that moment and be an example, everyone will fall into place beautifully”

• Clarity, directionality, elegance, purpose comes from all of us meditating for five minutes each day. We all impact each other

• You don’t have to go to the mountaintop to meditate. Take five minutes a day

@SamanthaRigoli
• Healthy fats (avocados, nuts) sustain you through a long event. Start off with a good breakfast – high fat and fiber filled foods

• “It takes time, money, thought, prep – it’s an investment to not grab fast food. Fast food is not an option for me”

• Don’t obsess about numbers as long as you’re getting an appropriate balance throughout the day

Dr. Karen
• We become over-adrenalized when we are stressed. Over-adrenaline will always overtake our ability to think

• Asking for help is so therapeutic and helpful. Go to someone you trust and ask. Acknowledging you’re overwhelmed is a relief

• “Walking away from a situation even for a second if you can is so important”

• Recognize how you react to stress and get to know yourself so you know what to do to react. You’ve got to breathe
