A Week Of Long Projects!

Well this week has defiantly tested my creativity. My large project this week was making 6 regional maps. These maps were 3' X 4' so they were not small and there were 6 regions I had to do. My job was to use map pins and put all the companies that are attending our meeting in April. For this I had to use a lot of map pins and then use a label maker to list all of the agencies. This was very time consuming to make all of the labels to go with the coordinating pins. I went through 3 rolls of label tape and it took me 3, 6 hour days!
My other job which was very stressful was making sure that we all all the decor for all 15 trade show booths, each trade show booth represents its own country and FINALLY I got them all done (thank you for all that gave me ideas!) I had to make sure that everyone had decor in a box which was then labeled, So that every box we can find in April when the meeting comes and we know exactly where item is!
This week was even more interesting after I had to order more than $4000 worth of 4" X 6" flags online, so i really hope it all come in on time!!! AHHHHHHH
Hope everyone is doing great!

First day back after Spring Break

Well after a week on a cruise this is my first day back and let me tell you it was rough! With a week's worth of work piling up I had my job cut out for me today! Our very large meeting is coming up on April 9th and I feel like I have so much to do. I came back to work today with a pile sky high. I am in charge of decorating all the trade show booths......and oh ya there is 15 of them each mocking a different country.

Some were very easy to decorate but I have already searched the web for a posters to hang on each trade show booths back wall. I have learned a lot about piping and draping which is what they do in each booth. I have 2 booth's that are 10 x 2o and 13 booths that are 10 x 15. These booths all need decor and I'm have a really hard time with what I can decorate New Zealand, Germany and Samoa with! So if anyone has any idea please let me know asap.

I feel that I have had to be very creative and learn how to find decorations and order them online in a timely manner. Today I worked on ordering props for the booths and also for the entire meeting. We are hiring a Chinese dragon that will run around the resort so today I put together all of the companies written fortunes and ordered fortune cookies on line! The hardest part was editing all the fortunes and making sure they were all under 70 characters. However It was actually really fun!

I hope everyone else is keeping busy and also having fun at the same time!

Packing Day

Today was VVERRYYY long and stress full! Today I went to Western Heritage Insurance Company to Pack for their Partner's Meeting in New Port Beach, CA at the Pelican Hill Resort. This is a major client for my company, Strategic Meetings. I was in charge of packing all of the gift bags that each attendee will receive when they arrive at the resort. It was a very long tedious process. Yet, it really helps me learn what all is incorporated when planning a meeting.

I packed different bags for both the women at the men. This is what the bag looked like

Both the Women's and Men's material was packed into these very nice leather bags. They both received different gifts.

The Women Received:

-A pair of Coach Shoes

-A zip up sweater

-A golf polo

- A Video Camera

The Men Received:

-A black leather jacket

-A golf polo in different colors(picture)

- A video camera

I learned how important VIP gift bags are!!! It was amazing to see all of these expensive presents! It takes a lot of work but it really makes me feel great that someone who has worked really hard at their job receives this gift. I realized today its not how fast you can put together all of the gift bags but to make sure each one looks perfect!

All in all it was a great learning experience and I really enjoyed meeting all the staff from Western Heritage Insurance Company!

Hope everyone is doing well and I look forward to hearing from you all.
