In just a few short hours, I’m headed to the airport for Engage 09 :: The Encore. Yes, I’m going a couple days early to get some quiet time (is that possible in Vegas?) — and work — in. Engage, created by Rebecca Grinnals and Kathryn Arce, is a luxury wedding business conference that gathers the best of the best together to learn, grow, and truly “engage” with each other. This will be my third Engage conference and I couldn’t be more excited! Be sure to read my recap of the last spectacular conference in Grand Cayman. This particular conference is at my favorite hotel in Vegas, The Encore. Be sure to follow along via Twitter (I’ll be posting tons of pics over the next 5 days) and also via the #Engage09Encore hashtag. Also, The Encore now has a Twitter account themselves! I love seeing businesses embracing social media and really being active with it. Kudos to Rebecca and Kathryn for putting together a program that promises to be the best Engage yet! Speakers: Rebecca, creative business guru Sean Low, hilarious planning diva Marcy Blum, my good friend Simon T Bailey and Todd-Avery Lenahan of ABA Events Las Vegas. There will be a very special event on Tuesday night with two VIP guest hosts: Randy Fenoli of “Say Yes to the Dress” fame and the incomparable Sylvia Weinstock. We’re very excited to be shooting Randy in Vegas on Monday for our upcoming issue. Kleinfeld is sending four top gowns that Randy will be styling in the shot- can’t wait! Much more to come via Twitter… I have to go PACK!
Wishing everyone a fab weekend!
ps- in case you missed the memo, Southern Weddings now has its own Twitter account!
Thank you Lara! We just can’t WAIT to see you again for what promises to be another ‘engaging’ experience! Travel safely and see you in Vegas!!
