Event BOOT CAMP & State of the INDUSTRY to be held on March 28th 2013!
REGISTER HERE!
ISES NY Metro is proud to present our first ever double-header event, featuring education for professionals of ALL levels!
We kick off the day with EVENT BOOT CAMP, an intensive education in the fundamentals of event production geared toward emerging professionals.
Then it’s on to our evening program — 2013 EVENT INDUSTRY STATE OF THE UNION – a panel discussion led by top industry professionals discussing the current climate of our industry.
- Past Presidents in Action! Both programs will be led by NY Metro past presidents, who are – coincidentally – some of today’s most well respected industry leaders. They bring years of knowledge, experience and insider tips to the table, helping you to navigate our ever-changing industry.
- Education for All! Emerging professionals will cut their teeth on intensive production classes during the day, while our vets will get a chance to gather key insights and the latest wisdom during our must-see evening panel. And, of course, the conversation continues during our networking event later that night with chapter members, industry leaders and our fantastic sponsors.
- Read All About It! Visit Event Boot Camp and 2013 Event Industry State of the Union for more program info, and be sure to meet our workshop leaders, panelists and sponsors.
