Tip of the Month 

 

Do you have events outside during the Fall and Winter months?  Do you have a backup plan in case of rain or bad weather?  If you don't, you should. Be sure to talk to your vendors about different options during the planning stages.  Some vendors may require a deposit for rain or bad weather options.  This may increase your budget, but when a sudden rainstorms hits, it's money well spent.

President's Letter November 2011

Val

Greetings!

 

Wow, I can't believe that it's already November.  Halloween has just passed and I just realized that I probably need to start making my menu for Thanksgiving.  This also means that ISES-NCC has some great things coming up that you should check out.

 

Since we are in November that means that we are a couple of weeks away from our very first joint meeting with MPINCC at Nob Hill Masonic Auditorium.  Have you signed up yet?  If not, click here.   The topic is "The Big Bang: How to Produce Events with Impact".  Some of the top planners and producers in the industry will be part some great panel discussions and it's an opportunity to learn more about how planner and producers work.  This also promises to be a great networking opportunity.   

 

Have you signed up to receive updates from the ISES-NCC blog?  If not, you should.  There is some great information available for you to read and we are always looking for guest authors.  Click here to learn more.

 

Don't forget to sign up to participate in our Biennial Vendor Showcase.  This is a great marketing opportunity for your company and a chance to network with over 150 Bay Area event professionals in January 2012.  Sign up here.

 

We had our very first Brown Bag Lunch at AT&T Park to help prepare those interested in taking the CSEP.   Thank you to Sara Hunt for hosting everyone.  It was a great gathering and we all learned a lot. 

 

Were you able to make it to our very first networking mixer at Roe on October 20thIt was a huge success.  Thank you to Roe Restaurant for hosting us and Orange Photography for capturing all the great moments of the event.  There will be more mixers in 2012 so stay tuned.

 

Have a great November and Thanksgiving holiday and hope to see you on the 15th.


Valerie Hopple
President, ISES-NCC

October Meeting Recap
October 2011 Happy Hour at ROE  

We could not be more pleased with the turn out for ISES-NCC's Inaugural Networking Happy Hour at Roe on Thursday, October 20th.  Over 50 ISES members, friends and new faces joined us last week to connect over fantastic cocktails and snacks courtesy of Roe.  It really showed us, your ISES-NCC Board, that there is a need in our community for more networking opportunities.  With that in mind, we already have plans in the making for another schmooze-fest in early 2012.
