Go the Distance at the 2014 ESPA Conference

The ESPA 2014 Annual Conference, themed "Going the Distance," will be held on January 10-12, 2014, at the Westin Copley Place in Boston, Mass. Conference sessions will offer attendees 13 hours of continuing education credits with topics that run the gamut from "The Global Side of Events: Understanding Cultural Difference" and a "Q&A with the Event Planners" to "Security Management: Case Study from Boston and Lessons Learned" and "App Storm: Event Apps & Solutions That Can Change Your Event Planning Universe."

Kicking off the conference will be a special keynote speaker: Laura Schwartz, former White House director of events, professional speaker, author and television commentator. Her session, "Eat, Drink and Get Ready to Succeed," will share a series of tools that attendees can implement in their own careers and some of the networking secrets she learned while working in the White House.

In addition to networking and educational opportunities, breakout and interactive sessions, optional off-site excursions and multiple general sessions, ESPA will also hold its Awards Luncheon and Annual Business Meeting during the conference, where the winners of the CSM of the Year Award, the recipient of the Executive Excellence Award and the Donald S. Freeman Jr. ESPA Conference Scholarship will be announced.
