The NACE (National Association of Catering Executives) annual conference was held in Austin, TX this summer and the Austin ISES chapter (International Special Events Society) hosted the opening reception at the Driskill Hotel. Whew! That’s an alphabet soup of acronyms. The reception was a collaborative effort by a Who’s Who list of Austin event professionals all beautifully orchestrated by Cindy Lo of Red Velvet Events and Tacy Infante of Meritage Events. I had the pleasure of hanging out with these talented ladies during the event set-up. Below is a mere glimpse of the all-day on-site effort to transform the Driskill into a kickin’ Rhinestone Cowboy hangout (not to mention the months of planning leading up to the event).

I just have one thing to say…lighting, lighting, lighting…ok, that was three.
