Non Plus Ultra

To say the event planning industry is complicated would be an enormous understatement. With everything that goes into the event, it can be easy slip up from time to time. Whether new to the planning game, or a veteran looking to stay on top of your game, our latest blog "Top 6 Mistakes to Avoid When Booking an Event Venue" should be right up your alley.

To say we had a busy weekend would be an understatement. A massive thank you to everyone at The Midway SF, Portola, Goldenvoice, and of course our amazing NPU Team for bringing these incredible events together and executing like the true professionals that you are.

In today's constantly changing business world, it is easy to forget that there is more to a company's success than close rates and overall sales. Employee engagement and morale are equally crucial for strong, consistent performance. Your Team works hard for you year round. An organization's relationship with its employees needs to go both ways. Fair compensation and benefits are of course priority one. But one of the best one-off ways to show your staff how much they are appreciated is with an end-of-the-year celebration that they will remember for years to come. See how much of a difference a memorable holiday celebration can truly make in our latest blog below!

BizBash turns the spotlight on New York Latin Fashion Week? 2024, where practicality was so last season, common sense went AWOL, and lattes and moisturizers were the new must have accessory. Cetaphil stepped up, declaring your skin regimen should be as runway-ready as any couture gown, leading many fashionistas nodding in agreement and declaring: "This season, my pores are more important than my Pradas." Adobe and Christian Cowan turned fashion into a high-tech affair with their electronic dresses (exciting news we were near last to break in the Event Horizon Issue No 6), establishing once and for all that your grandmother's floral dress could really use an electronic upgrade. Yves Saint Laurent Beauty sweetened the deal with an Industria Creative collab, showcasing their Candy Glaze line – which came with a bitter lesson for those of us who tried a taste. And Bluestone Lane made sure your latte was more stylish than your entire wardrobe. Untrue to form, NYFW 2024 was less about the fabric and more about the experience -- like a circus, but with better-dressed clowns, where sipping bespoke coffee, getting inked, and ogling techno-color-shifting gowns occurred as drones air-dropped non-snackable, though fashionably flavored, lipsticks right into your lap. https://lnkd.in/g7U4cJaW
