President's Corner:
 
Kim NussHello Denver ISES Chapter!
I hope you all enjoyed the incredible Wedding Showcase that was held at the Chateaux in January.  What a fantastic job and wonderful turn out!  Thank you to all of you that spread the word.  January was full of education.  If you attended TSE,(The Special Event Conference) we would love to have you share you experience with everyone else.  Read on to hear about the conference..

The Special Event Conference (TSE)
 
ises at TSE
Denver was well represented at TSE this year! In fact 8 of your ISES Denver Board members flew to San Diego a day before the conference to meet with their counterparts across the country as part of the ISES Leadership Meetings.  We all learned some great ideas from other chapters and shared what works at our chapter.    We'll be implementing some of these new ideas in the months to come.  Did you know that there are over 49 ISES chapters around the globe - covering 38 countries - with a combined total membership of over 7,200?!

The conference itself was a great opportunite to network, build relationships & take some great educational classes.  One speaker, Sasha Souza even used our wedding showcase from last year as an example of a hot color trend!  If you haven't ever gone, you should consider it!  For more info, click here.
 
 
January Meeting Recap:
 
 
Always our biggest event, the 4th annual Wedding Showcase was held 1/22/09 at The Chateaux at Fox Meadows.   This year was no exeption.  So many ISES members worked on this event and sponsored catering, production, entertainment, beer, wine, rentals, valet, and so much more to create a memorable event.  Extra thanks to Michelle Gillette of Dramatic Events, our VP of Education & Programs who went above & beyond to put this all together. Lovelynn Ann Jensen of Lovelynn Event Design gave a dynamic speech about marketing to Generation Y and the latest craze: Social Media!  Are you on twitter, facebook & myspace yet??
