BizBash Live! Event professionals: In six days, this is where you need to be.

I'm not sure exactly when I discovered BizBash, the media/tradeshow company that IMHO is more tapped in to the national & international special event industry than any organization or competing company. This is a resource all of us in the industry need to stay current in all aspects of the business. Reading the magazine and surfing their amazing website is a given, and can be done in the comfort of your office or home. But ours is an experiential business, right? So when all the talent and connections of BizBash spring to life at BizBash Live! on October 28th at the Javits Center in NYC, you should reschedule any appointments you can and get yourself and your colleagues to the show.


Whether you are a planner or a supplier, the amount of knowledge and connections you will get from BizBash Live will be invaluable, I'm guessing you will thank me next Wednesday. If you decide to go please let me know, email me harryspivak@gmail.com or tweet @harryspivak so we can say hi.

Here are more reasons not to miss this event. BizBash Live will have more than 100 trade show floor exhibitors, the Event Style Awards, the Event Innovation Forum returns featuring a new roster of speakers guaranteed to reignite your passion for events. Gain insights from thought leaders and creative thinkers including Nicky Balestrieri of BMF Media, Dan Griffis of Target, Will Travis of Sid Lee, Lauren Kane of charity:water, Lance Broumand of UrbanDaddy, Ryan Begelman of Bisnow Media, Frank Supovitz of Fast Traffic Events, and others.

    Wow! That looks like some incredible catering. How many people from the company do you think are there, because it looks like they have a pretty big corporate gathering. I bet the food was amazing, because it always is when it's catered in. I love when my work caters in food. It just makes the work day a little bit better. http://www.redpearcatering.com.au

Catering Governor Rendell's Inaugural Ball January 21st 2003. Part One.

Image
I intended to write this post about 6 years ago as the event's tenth anniversary was approaching. I didn't. It's still a fun story and hopefully my memory will entertain and inform you about what was the biggest and maybe best event we ever undertook and executed at Max & Me Catering. As Governor Wolf prepares for his second inaugural, it marks 16 years since we took over Harrisburg's Farm Show Complex and turned a tractor and animal manure laden event hall into a fancy full on high end catered event for Pennsylvania's movers and shakers. Governor Ed Rendell and his wife Midge at the Inaugural Ball A little background. In December 2002, Max & Me Catering had been on a 3 year run of growth and winning venue contracts, and earlier in 2002 it was announced (after having to keep it secret for almost 9 months) that we had won the plum contract perhaps in Philadelphia catering history, the National Constitution Center. Integral to our success was the addition

Bryce's Catering & Me!

Image
Simeone Automotive Museum. Bryce's Catering's top venue and a very cool space. It's been over three years since I have written in this blog. Lots of news and changes. I have been looking for a catering company to partner with for over a year now. In making my decision many factors came into play, other than compensation the most important was autonomy. So I made the decision last Friday to join Bryce's Catering out of Haverford. Having done some type of consulting/sales work for probably 18 of Philly's top 20 caterers, I feel I am uniquely qualified to teach event planners the landscape, and strengths/weaknesses of the local catering market. If you know me, you know I'm a straight shooter. Smoked Salmon! Yum! Bryce's is a full service on/off premise and drop off caterer with an over 15 year history of excellence. I would NOT join a catering firm that I can't endorse 100%. Alan Brody, the founder and owner, looks at things differently, as I do

Reminiscences of Max & Me Catering. Part VIII

Image
As we continued the process of growing Max & Me as a premier corporate catering concern in Philly, a new venue that was under construction came into my awareness in the Spring of 2001. Jaisy Styles, who at the time was with PGI, a major event planning and destination management company, told me about the National Constitution Center and that I should contact a Phil Castellano to find out about the plans for catering in the venue. Well after many calls and emails that went un-returned, I eventually found out how to get in the door. Rather than rewrite what I have already written, I'm going to regurgitate three separate Facebook posts that I wrote last year. These are what prompted me to do this series on the history of Max & Me Catering. After these three Facebook posts, (which I tried to write on anniversaries of the occurrences) I decided to just write the whole history as a blog series. Now I have reached this point, and I feel like just cutting and pasting and sharing.
