I always wanted to surround myself with knowledge and people that live and breathe event planning. My opportunity came at the 2010 Special Events conference in New Orleans, LA. The Special Event (2010) is the largest tradeshow and conference in the world for event professionals (2010, The Special Event). TSE allows attendees to make invaluable connections with thousands of key event industry notables and colleagues, experience education both inside and outside of the classroom environment, choose among over 100 relevant Conference Sessions and Training Workshops taught by hand-selected speakers, and discover thousands of event products and services on the Tradeshow Floor (2010, The Special Event).
I was excited and anguished to be attending this conference because this would be my first professional conference where the topic is all about events! I often thought this would be an opportunity for me to attend this international conference, and have a small place on the map since I was flying in from Nashville, TN. However, I met people for all over the world. There is one person in particular, Jane Yong. Jane was residing at the time in Dublin, and attending the conference to learn more American events. There were many professional that I exchanged business cards with, but I have remained in contact with Jane. And we often exchange ideas at events, job search and weddings!
I arrived in early to take in the sights of New Orleans, and to also get a jump on navigating the New Orleans convention center to avoid getting lost as I transition to classes. The location of the conference was two blocks from my hotel. Fortunately, I did not stay in the host hotel, and choose to lodge at Marriott, which faired out cheaper than the host hotel.
During this week long conference, it opened my eyes to a world on opportunity. I was excited to be able to really dig deep into the opportunity. At the time of the conference, my mind was solely focused on Business and Event management because I was looking for ways to grow my business that I started two years ago. I wanted to find courses that was designed to give me the confidence and tools to meet more clients, garner skills that other personal may not have and explore ways on how to market with a small budget, and there were several classes that were available to help me with this.
My family and I recently visited the State Fair of Texas. It is the biggest
Customers seek event planners to assist in some aspect of an event, whether that event is celebration, business conference, promotion or rallies, or commemorations.

On February 9th I went to event help on campus called Mocktail Hour. I chose this event because it was suggested by the teacher, and it had to do with STEM majors. I am currently going to school for engineering and this event had relations to my major. I thought it would be the perfect event to take advantage of because it was the closest one to me and lots of information about my major. The drinks they offered also were a great bonus.
As I mentioned before, I was not sure what to expect going in. It was very overwhelming at first, but I am so glad that I was able to meet with the people that I did. This was especially great for me because I ran into one of my childhood friends who I haven’t seen in many years. She currently works for Acrobatique Creative Branding Boutique, which I was unfamiliar with. She gave me information on what her company was about and some of the opportunities that are available. If it weren’t for this job fair, I most likely would not have had a chance to reconnect with her. When I got home, I sent out emails to every employer that I spoke with today to express my appreciation for them taking time out of their day to speak with me. I’m hoping that at least one of them get back to me. I am excited to see what the future has in store, and I’m glad I attended the career
Have you ever had a business meeting, a conference? Could you imagine a meeting to draw an outline to exterminate a population, 11 million Jews?

The Wannsee Conference put the Final Solution in motion; the World had lost their opportunity to save 6 million Jews and others.

Going into the tour, I was not entirely sure what to expect, but I was looking forward to it. Thursday started in a rush, with the opening ceremonies. There the ASHA president talked about her experience as a speech pathologist, as well as touching on her own brother as a source of inspiration—one that had died recently, but had had Down Syndrome. That alone was enough to pique my interest, and her entire story seemed in tune with my own for why speech pathology is important. From the opening session, many people went after the ice cream, but I instead found a quiet place to look through the book of presentations and posters. I have known from other conferences that I have been to that there are usually far too many sessions to go to in one day—because all the good ones seem to happen at the same time—but here there were even more than I had ever expected. Dozens upon dozens all occurring at the same time, and all ones that I wished to attend. Thankfully, the poster session happened all day long, so I could at least stop by the posters that I really wanted to see.

After researching the impacts events have on regional development I have come to agree with the statement ‘The events industry is an effective and appropriate vehicle for facilitation of regional development’. The significance of this thesis is to critically discuss and demonstrate an understanding of the relationship between the events industry and regional development while also providing an understanding of the history of events and the increasing significance of the event industry in contemporary society. Real life examples from around the world are used to recognize and justify the event industry as part of the tourism sector and explore specific implications to event management. Various sectors of the events industry are identified and discussed to support the theoretical discussion on how the events industry is an effective and appropriate vehicle for facilitation of regional development.
