Abstract
The Art of Hospitality can also be described as the art of entertaining. The key to being an outstanding host is to make your guests feel welcomed, appreciated and at ease. The basics of designing and planning any event remains the same, whether it’s a small dinner party with friends, or a large gala, exhibition or a conference. Clarity of purpose is the first step. Defining the experience you want for your guests is the foundation for all event planning and logistics. By stating the qualities of the experience, you are building an atmosphere of inspiration, connection, joy, harmony, ease, and celebration. In today’s world, bringing people together is more important than ever. Marinda Freeman is a professional Event Designer with four decades of experience in planning, organizing and crafting unforgettable events. After researching and proving the principles that operate with every event, she has been teaching them to her clients and in classes. Her best-selling book, Everything is an Event, A Step-by-Step Guide Creating Memorable Occasions for Today’s Lifestyle with 15 Principles Revealed, is the culmination of all that she has taught clients and in classes. In this session, Marinda will challenge how one thinks about events.
