My Calendar: Vegas Baby! March 13th

In the 1970s I was living in California and early in my career working for an exciting, growing furniture and appliance rental company called GranTree. From the top-down it had a real “can do” attitude, and now as a seasoned corporate event planner I’ve worked with dozens of organizations but I haven’t found a firm that could match the energy and excitement that I found at GranTree.

On March 13, I’m heading to Las Vegas for a GranTree reunion (which I am co-chairing). During the afternoon we’ll discuss “lessons learned” from our days at Grantree. It should be interesting to hear everyone’s thoughts 25 years later!

That evening after dinner I’m sure that it won’t be the rock n’ roll times I remember from the 70s. Quite frankly, it will be kind of scary watching us dance, but regardless I’m happy to reconnect (I’m really curious to see if any of us look the same, see the pic below).

However, my trip isn’t all about the reunion. I have two on-site visits planned while in Las Vegas. First, the luxurious Bellagio Hotel, the site of Nielsen’s upcoming Consumer 360 Conference  that I’m producing.

The second, the brand-spanking-new Aria Hotel & Casino, I’m really excited about this one!
