ON THE ROAD AGAIN……HERE WE GO!!

Chicago and Minneapolis

TWO destinations. TWO weeks apart. TWO Different Conferences.

ONE HUGE SUCCESS!

Meetings Plus Team is currently on site in Minneapolis working at the Minneapolis Convention Center having just finished another conference at McCormick Place in Chicago, September 20th thru 23rd, 2009. What a success that one was! I managed all of the food and beverage events for CSCMP to include: two VIP Parties, Hospitality Suites, Preconference breaks and meals, VIP Board Dinner, VIP Chairman’s Reception, etc. at the Hyatt Regency McCormick Place as well as major receptions, meals, and breaks at McCormick Place West for well over 2,000 attendees.

Elaine Dagen (Our Vice-President), Marisa Roberge and Sandra Torrez (Our Event Specialists) all arrived safely in Minneapolis last Sunday – October 4th to begin preparing for NSHMBA’s Annual Conference that kicks off on Thursday – October 8th and culminates with the Brillante Awards Presentation and Entertainment on Saturday – October 10th. Both Elaine and Marisa have worked very hard to coordinate this event.

The finale will feature a special performance by Latin Star, Alejandro Fernandez, who has sold over 15 million copies in over 20 countries. Sandra, has coordinated all the food and beverage services as well as many other logistical pieces for their numerous sessions and company meetings. Our team has worked NSHMBA’s Annual Conference for several years and with our expertise, knowledge, attention to detail, enthusiasm and passion for this meeting, it is sure to be a success again this year! Stay tuned for more details!

SPECIAL NOTE TO ALL: I am constantly reminded how really fantastic our own team is at the Henry B. Gonzalez Convention Center after working in other Centers around the country. We have been the in house caterer there for 38 years producing and creating “memorable” events for all the groups that come to our Center. What moves us ahead of the rest besides our wonderful food and service is our attention to detail, creativity, inability to accept nothing less than perfection for each and every event, attitude of all of our staff and the knowledge that we are a company that “gets it” and are willing to go that extra mile to ensure that everything we touch is the very best we can do.
