ACPWC Conference EPIC 11

Event Professionals Inspiring Confidence!

We held our first national conference at the Hyatt Regency in Burlingame, CA on February 25-26, 2011. E.P.I.C. 11,  which stands for Event Professionals Inspiring Confidence,  attracted ACPWC members, industry leaders and small business professionals alike from all over. One of our international members attended from as far away as Saronna, Italy. The conference provided a unique program designed to empower, educate and inspire confidence. Attendees had the opportunity to hear stories of success, obtain knowledge and gather resources to benefit business owners from all walks of  life.

Our amazing speakers including Andy Ebon from the Wedding Marketing Network, Sasha Souza from Sasha Souza Events, Alan Berg from the Knot and Natalie Bradley from Bride Attration gave outstanding  presentations on "How to Attract Brides to Your Business by Just Being You", "Wedding Design", "My Attitude, My Choice" and "How to Dominate Your Market Without Breaking a Sweat."

 

Workshop topics included "Passion, Position, Profits:  Real Secrets That Will Give You Real Results in the Next 30 Days or Less" by Alejandro Reyes from alejandroeyes.com, "Finding the Secret to Your Success," by Christine Thomas from Today's Bride  and "What a Smart Business Owner needs to Know" by Jenna Hung from LifeStream Financial, Inc. Our members and attendees gave rave reviews following the sessions.

 

Friday's schedule of events ended with a Vendor Showcase featured business professionals that provided tools and resources to cultivate, support, protect and help grow our businesses.

 

On Saturday evening, the Poolside Pavilion, was magically transformed with tones of aqua blue, burgundy and silver, complete with an elegant lounge area, for the celebration gala. A delicious meal, coupled with a phenomenal live band, was the ultimate finish to this "EPIC" event!  It was such a joy watching our members and attendees having the time of their lives on the dance floor.

 

Attendees Remarks:


"I am a professional DJ/MC for weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvah's, and private events...I believe that knowledge and training are two very important factors in sustaining high quality service for my clients. My organization functions to create the best wedding experience possible and the ACPWC 2011 conference gave me an excellent learning environment, dynamic and professional speakers, and an experiential example of what a great gala is like. I am very happy to be in this professional industry, and appreciate the education that was provided throughout the two day conference weekend."
-Pro MC/DJ Matt Riley, M.A.

"After attending the E.P.I.C. 11 Conference, I have come back to my business with many new ideas, inspirations, and concepts to incorporate over the months ahead." -
