Merry Monday: Ready... Set... Educate!

Today I'm taking my team to Chicago for a week of fabulous ideas and new found inspiration. We're headed to The Special Event Show to learn from some of the most admired and successful event geniuses of our industry. This annual event usually takes place somewhere warmer than the northern Midwest region. Over the years I've attended the same show held in San Diego, Phoenix, Las Vegas, New Orleans, Atlanta and Houston... but this year it's so close to home we're all going!

2 in our team will be doing the Hands on Hundred program to help set up the many events taking place. They'll get a first look and hands on experience, behind the scenes. I'm excited for them to grow and develop their skills by learning from some of the best!

Our Lead Coordinators will join me for education in areas such as:
Design and Floral
Wedding Trends
Event Management
Event Tools and Resources
and much much more!

Imagine attending a wedding that was designed and set up to impress wedding professionals?! We're going! The Wedding Event is the hottest ticket at the show. For years I have made it a priority to be present at this amazing showcase. I've heard from the likes of Carly Roney (The Knot) and met Darcy Miller (Martha Stewart weddings) the year she spoke. I can't wait to see what's in store for us this year.

The trade show floor opens Wednesday with over 200 vendors ready to share the newest and hottest ideas for the event industry. We'll see old friends, and make new. We've done our homework... if you're signed on with Merry Me to design and produce your event this year, we've got your file and we're looking out specifically with your event in mind.






We're ready to fill our creative tanks and recharge our energy as we launch into 2013!
Be sure to follow us on facebook and twitter all week. We'll all be posting a few of our favorite things.
