2011 EVIE Awards

I'm on the board for the Greater Charlotte Chapter of the International Special Events Society and this year I was asked to Co-chair our annual EVIE Awards Gala and Fundraiser. This event recognizes event professionals through-out the Carolinas by celebrating outstanding achievement in a variety of disciplines including event planning, production, catering, graphics and more.

I'm really excited about this year's event because we have a lot of fun surprises in-store and will be introducing the new People's Choice Award.

For the People's Choice Award we asked area designers, florists and planners to create a table top design inspired by our theme: sports/competition. We also asked local caterers to create a dish that best represents their take on game day/stadium food. Guests in attendance at the EVIE Awards will be able to vote on the best food and best table top design.

The details for the event are below:


I hope to see all Charlotte event professionals in attendance as we celebrate the special events industry!
