Share & Learn…Learn & Share
5:00 – 6:00pm

Leading edge educational research increasingly shows that the best learning occurs when we share with each other and reflect on what we hear. You can take advantage of this finding and make the most of your Expo experience by participating in our peer-to-peer roundtables. We’ve identified four topic areas for you to explore with your peers and discover new perspectives and opportunities. Each will be moderated by a subject-matter expert.

• Marketing = Networking = Marketing – We all know that personal relationships represent the most effective marketing tool out there, but the path to building those relationships isn’t always very clear and we often get there by chance rather than plan. Let’s talk with each other about how we established the relationships we have and discover the common steps that got us there…so we can make them happen with more consistency and make the most of them when they do. Session Moderator: Peggy Hoffman, President, Mariner Management & Marketing.
  
  
• Best Practices with Vendors – Join the conversation with experienced vendors as they talk about what information they need from planners, what questions planners should ask of their vendors, and more…Share your questions, your experiences as a planner and learn how others cope. Session Moderator, Ashley Beard, Event Designer, Windows Catering.
  
  
• Beyond the Chapter: Getting the Most from ISES International -- You've heard it before... Your membership is only as valuable as you make it!  Take this hour to hear from ISES Northeast Regional Vice President Kelly Coronel and ISES DC Chapter Past President Pamela Burton Moore about the educational and networking opportunities available as part of our worldwide organization
