MPI Cascadia 2012 ‘heART of your meeting’

Bravo Publications — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 17:30:37 +0000

Tacoma, Wash.— The 2012 MPI Cascadia Educational Conference, scheduled for March 4-6, at Greater Tacoma Convention & Trade Center in Washington will host pre-qualified meeting planners through its Hosted Buyer Program this year.

Industry companies have the opportunity to meet one-on-one with qualified planners in a private setting, which will take place on Sunday and Monday of the event. Interested companies must apply to be a host through MPI Cascadia. Companies not participating in the program may still get in front of meeting planners through the Tradeshow and silent auction.

This year’s conference will feature nearly 40 hours of continuing education content, including information packed breakout sessions and four arts-focused inspiring keynote speakers, such as Amy Lee Segami who will create a one-of-a-kind Painting On Water.

The theme of this year’s Cascadia Educational Conference is ‘heART of your meeting’ which is fitting with Tacoma’s glass-infused downtown. The conference will take place at the Greater Tacoma Convention + Trade Center with views of the city and located within walking distance of local experiences such as the Museum of Glass and delicious restaurants. The boutique, glass-themed Hotel Murano, that was voted number six on Conde’ Nast Traveler’s Reader’s Choice list, will be the headquarter hotel and will host the themed ‘Night at the Museum’ gala. Come dressed in your favorite character from the movie and network with your industry colleagues.

The conference is open to both members and non-members of MPI. More information and registration can be found on the Cascadia website. Connect with other attendees and stay up-to-date on the latest information with MPI Cascadia on facebook. Register for the conference and then post your heART for Cascadia on Facebook!

Event Trends for 2012 – By The Event Guys

Bravo Publications — Thu, 15 Dec 2011 22:45:48 +0000

The new year is around the corner. The event industry often takes nods from runway fashion, the entertainment industry, and pop culture as it formulates ideas for future events. Here is The Event Guys’ list of top 5 trends to incorporate in your upcoming events.

5. Bling
Bling continues to take many forms in events, from sequin table coverings to rentable chandeliers, look for ways to bring bold cool tones to your table scapes.

4. Swag
Swag is going beyond the throw away pens and one use book lights. Think about branding your event with something people will use year-round. Popular choices are branded iPhone chargers, backpacks or first aid kits.

3. Ditch the Speaker!
Instead of the old model of one person talking in front of hundreds from a one-way communication road, expect more round table events. Think informal meet ups instead of lectures, and other ways that gatherings can be more interactive and less static.

2. Go Green!
Not the color.Think about using technology to save paper: Electronic contracts with digital signatures, Seating plans using peferct tableplan, digital brochures, and even follow-up correspondence using electronic surveys after the event to track the success of your event.

1. Get Social!
The trend to go social will mushroom in 2012. It is no longer an option for events to embrace social media practices, but a necessity. From QR Codes at conventions to Twitter Hashtags at conferences, it is important to understand and embrace the ins and outs of our digital world in order to offer your attendees the breadth and depth of social media.
