Education Session
This years educational session will be a big change from years past. This facilitated roundtable discussion centered around meetings and events will focus on the networking and connections made between the attendees. Discussion areas include contracting, rise of costs, sustainability, health & wellness, engagement, incentives & hybrid events, and inclusiveness and accessibility. Both clients and hosts are encouraged to attend to share their best practices and have a frank discussion about the challenges they’re facing and the potential opportunities there are. The session will be 75 minutes (from 2:45 – 4pm), and attendees will have a chance to change tables and connect with new groups. We hope that this format will entice attendees to come for more than just the evening trade show.
Broadway Show - Some Like It Hot!
Our NEW Broadway Show is “Some Like It Hot!” Some Like It Hot! is set in Chicago when Prohibition has everyone thirsty for a little excitement. It is the “glorious, big, high-kicking” (Associated Press) story of two musicians forced to flee the Windy City after witnessing a mob hit. With gangsters hot on their heels, they catch a cross-country train for the life-chasing, life-changing trip of a lifetime. If your guests love the 1959 film with Marilyn Monroe, Tony Curtis and Jack Lemmon, they’ll love this!
