Trip to Atlantic City

Sorry everyone for the lack of posts the past few days. 

 I recently was given the opportunity to travel to Atlantic City, NJ for a conference for the International Special Event Society's (ISES) Regional Education Conference (REC) and without even hesitating I jumped on the chance to attend. It was a wonderful opportunity for me, as I am working hard at making a name for myself in the events industry. 

 It was also  my first time in Atlantic City.  

Here's a view of my bathroom (and enormous tub!)...

nope I didn't try it out, but I was tempted.

I had originally planned on working and blogging from my hotel room, but they left little time between seminars and the internet wasn't free from the hotel.  So my small hotel office..

 Quickly went out the window and I traded the computer for a little reading of my favorite new love story...

I had to chuckle while in the elevator because clearly this hotel wasn't targeted at those attending the conference but rather those spending money in the casino (obviously).  From the photo below its not hard to see what button they want you to push. :) 

CASINO anyone?

It was a very educational trip and I look forward to connecting more with all of the planners and suppliers I met.  I got some great ideas from the sessions and can't wait to keep getting involved with ISES.
