Enhance your network. Explore the latest trends. Expand your knowledge. All in one place: ISES Eventworld® 2011.
Make August 4-6, 2011, three of the most fun-packed, education-rich and experience-enhancing days you'll have all year. This is the one conference that event professionals should not miss.
Our host city is St. Louis, Missouri, the traditional “Gateway to the West.” Our hotel is the Union Station Marriott, a historic hotel and architectural gem conveniently attached to dining and shopping and located near many of the city's major attractions.
Here you can make the education connections necessary to enhance your career — no matter if you're an industry veteran or just getting started — ISES has something for everyone! Have those frank discussions about the wins and challenges in your career with people who understand: other industry professionals who are down in the same trenches as you are, fighting the same battles. You'll not only get value from the education sessions but also the chance to participate in invaluable networking opportunities that will last you a lifetime, as you learn from industry experts.
Although education is the focus of ISES Eventworld® 2011, anyone who has attended in the past knows there's no shortage of exciting activities to help you celebrate your successes with other industry professionals!
You certainly won't want to miss the Welcome Event and 25th Anniversary Kick-Off Event at the City Museum, housed in the 600,000-square-foot former International Shoe Co. factory.
Make sure to visit the ISES Connections Lounge, featuring a relaxing atmosphere for you to plan your day over a coffee or digest what you've learned at the end of the day with friends. And don't forget to celebrate with ISES at the ISES Annual General Meeting and the Spirit of Excellence Awards! This year's annual meeting is free!
Last but not least, come celebrate the accomplishments of fellow event professionals at the ISES Esprit Awards Celebration, where you can see the most creative ideas in the industry in action! Just turn the page for the full list of nominees, and you will quickly see that your ISES colleagues represent the finest work in special events worldwide. See you in St. Louis!
