Mimosas before noon? Dahling, it’s perfectly acceptable! Celebrate the New Year early with our lighthearted welcome of the economic downturn with serious practical tips you can apply to your business. What are you doing RIGHT NOW to plan for 2009 and keep yourself in diamonds? Whether you’re a business owner or a sales and marketing professional, you need to prepare now! Take some action during our interactive sessions:

  • Business plan development
  • Job or employee security
  • How to better use your industry partnerships
  • Marketing and sales practices
  • Resources for an economic downturn

ISES proudly welcomes our keynote speaker, Bill Hanbury, President, Destination DC.

The Mayflower Hotel is our host for breakfast on Thursday, December 18th. This event is sure to awaken your senses with a sumptuous morning meal and striking décor generously provided by A Vista Events. The cocktail reception begins bright and early at 7:30am--who says you can’t have cocktails before noon?

Our interactive sessions will take place in casual lounges provided by Cort Event Furnishings. Set your alarm clock and kick off 2009, or at least celebrate the light at the end of the holiday season tunnel!
