Speaker: Mike MalinchokCertified Professional Coach, S2K Performance Coaching, LLC
For many who have embarked on researching this area of spend category management, an all too common conclusion reached is that a best-in-class SMMP (Strategic Meetings Management Program) requires hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment, complicated enterprise wide process re-engineering, and years of data collection and patience before the full benefits of the program can be achieved. As a result, many efforts are stalled before they even begin as organizational leaders look at these conclusions and re-evaluate the application of resources and attention to other areas of focus that may yield more timely returns. This session will provide the attendee with actionable ways to infuse the tenets of the best practice models of Strategic Meetings Management Programs (SMMP) into their current organizational situation.
Outcomes:
  • Break apart the SMMP best practice model into prioritized components.
  • Establish three-stage objectives (AIM) for the incorporation of each SMMP component into a working business plan
  • Through a combination of theory and practical exercises, the unique and custom opportunities that an SMMP creates for the attendees organization will unfold in ways that allow immediate actions to be taken with minimal business disruption, exorbitant investment, or tedious delays. 
Special Bonus for Attendees
Those attending the November Dinner Meeting will receive a copy of the White Paper, "The Pragmatist's Guide to SMM - Moving from Theory to ACTION."

INFINITY EVENTS produces the ultimate Welcome To OC Event

On January 6, IEI president, Robb Thornsberry produced the opening night event for 1200 attendees of The Special Event Conference & Tradeshow.  Although this is a typical event for many Anaheim conventions, these were not your typical convention attendees and this was not your typical welcome reception. Attendees of this event were other event professionals from around the world who have seen it all, so impressing them would not be an easy task.  This would require a venue that no one has ever seen before.  Since building a new venue would not be an option, Robb approached The Anaheim Garden Walk, a nearby outdoor shopping mall that had plenty of space and was within walking distance of the convention center or a brief 2 minute shuttle ride.  The challenge was to create an event that had to impress in a venue that has never been used as an event venue before. Utilizing two levels, in the back portion of the shopping center that sees very little foot traffic was transformed

Entertainment With An Edge!!!

What to do when you've done it all?  Need to spice up the same ole same ole?  Need to make sure your limited budget can deliver an impact?  GO TO EXTREMES! Below is an entertainment concept that you just don't see everyday.  What better way to ensure your event is memorable and have your guests talking about it for months to come than to give them something they've never seen before. AeroTek AeroTek is an outdoor, aerial and stilt movement spectacle. Featuring five acrobats on stilts rolling into backbends, splits, and a myriad of sculptural forms, AeroTek stretches one's perception of the human body. Strutting and dancing, suspended and flying the performers’ pincer-like metal legs slice the air as they spin and swim like fencers in a seas, barely missing each other in their fervent exploration of their metal home. Shedding layers of armor, the acrobats slowly transform from superhuman warriors to fragile nymphs balancing high above the audience, hanging precari
