Highlights from CSES2014
The 2014 Event Solutions Conference & Tradeshow invited event professionals from around the world to gather in Las Vegas for another exciting year of learning, networking, discovery and fun. More than 8,000 professionals from the catering and events industries came out to enjoy the spectacular education lineup and innovative products and services throughout the week.
For four busy days, attendees wandered the halls of the Paris Hotel and the Las Vegas Convention Center, gathering in educational sessions, attending events, discovering new products and ideas, and networking with like-minded professionals.
Upon arrival at the Paris Hotel, attendees were welcomed into a scenic garden full of eclectic furnishings and grand designs by CORT Event Furnishings. Once again turning the Attendee Lounge into a stunning Parisian garden, and the perfect place for attendees to relax between sessions.
Sessions about creating multicultural experiences, integrating social media into your designs, how to spark creativity, and how to market and sell your offerings kept attendees engaged and inspired.

Therese Cole Hubbs’ session on reinterpreting cultural experiences was decorated as an Indian wedding.
Optional events, such as the Trends Lunch, gave attendees hundreds of new ideas in décor, food trends, room design and more.
And the Tradeshow floor introduced us once again to fun new concepts and innovative products for the catering and events industries.
Between the dozens of informative sessions, creative designs from the many contests and unique ideas on the Tradeshow floor, the 2014 Conference was full of inspirational ideas that can be used in your upcoming event!
