FRESH 2008 - ISES

This year ISES celebrated FRESH 2008 at the new Harrah's Chester Casino. The ballroom was packed with all the best the the industry had to offer this spring. Once again Sofia hooked everyone up with event photos and we got to check ourselves out in the Mid Atlantic Events Magazine. We were the decorators & paired up with Max and Me Catering to deign a 'Pod' together. Here we showcased three of their different treats on three of our light up bars. We designed and fabricated everything again: all three bars, the giant round upholstered ottoman, the wood laminated walls with cut outs for flowers and hoisted up all of our truss!

And we like our bamboo Tradeshow Booth so much that we disassembled it & used it as a backdrop this year...where MODA did the flowers for Georges Perrier's Le Bec Fin & Signature Restaurants

And it's always good to have a little press from Mid Atlantic Events! Thanks Jim!

FRESH 2007 - ISES

FRESH! 2007

ISES (International Special Events Society) is a trade organization that I have been involved with (sometimes as a member, others just as a volunteer) who's mission is to educate, advance and promote the special events industry and its network of professionals along with related industries. Every year they have a showcase for the industry to check out the latest and greatest of what is going on in the community. New trends, new products and generally what's "Fresh" culminates in a great venue to showcase everyone's ideas/wares.

This is my first year participating (2007) and the event took place at Sherman Mills East Falls.
We made our own little atmosphere with our trade show booth. We fabricated everything (cause that's what we do!) from the bamboo carved plexi walls to the hand selected flowers from the New York Flower Market just for this event. I cut the bamboo in the AM so that it could tower above the guests and create a mini oasis within the trade show. This is where I first met my gal pal Sofia Negron who took all these photos, I've been stalking her for event photos ever since!
