It's really about Strategic Partnerships! In Full Effect @ IMEX America

The power of strategic partnerships! There's more to just networking and making new business relationships... In today's world it is really about creating a meaningful relationship whether that is with your colleagues in the office, folks you are looking to do business with, and people that you might one day do business with! It's a small world and you never know when the next person you meet will be your next boss or employee! 

This year I had the privilege of working with what has become a great friend of mine! Mr. Frank Robinson of Island Events. We have created a strategic partnership that works in both our favors - not only have we generated a relationship as fellow entrepreneurs but as allies in the cut-throat world of events. We assist each other, represent each other, refer business because ultimately the more business we can generate for the both of us the better we both do in the long run. So, the question is why haven't you created strategic partnerships? 
Frank and I had a wonderful time working the Hawaiian booth at the IMEX America show in Vegas this past October. It was amazing to see Frank in action - he absolutely knows his stuff! I am always so impressed with the professionals in our industry that really work hard to shine - Frank shines because he is flawless. If you are looking for an amazing DMC/Planner on the islands of Aloha - Island Events is who you need to call. They serve all islands but if you are looking at the Big Island - then we get to partner on logistics, design, and creating an unforgettable event/conference for your attendees! 
So, I'll close with - until we see you on the island - ALOHA!

IMEX America 2011 - Las Vegas!

Hey everybody! We, your Simply Mumtaz gals - Joella, Jennifer Minzey, and Jennifer Kim, hope this post finds you well! We had a blast at IMEX America 2011! It was fantastic to visit with friends, meet new colleagues, and of course, play! Smart Monday sponsored by MPI was fantastic - great professional development sessions! But, the absolute highlight was the tradeshow!
I had to post about this booth! It was so inviting, fun, and sent the wonderful smell of coffee brewing and pastries just like you were walking past a coffee shop in Europe! You just had to stop...  
Then, I was so stoked to see fellow ISES peeps! Jennifer Minzey and I posed with Kevin Hacke, Executive Director of ISES. It was wonderful to see Kristin and touch base with Kevin about how ISES is promoting the special events industry as professional and strategic. 
We look forward to seeing everyone again next year!
