My Exlinkevents Awesome 12 - Part 2

7. A New Dawn for an Important
Industry - Advertising and Event Suppliers Conference and Expo
As one of the
officers of Advertising Suppliers
Association of the Philippines (ASAP), I am happy to be the leading
proponent to have an event that will combine the suppliers and clients in a
conference that will enlighten the suppliers of the industry. It is a first
time for the association. The event generated a lot of positive results. This
is enough for me to be thankful and be humbled from the experience.
8. A Start of a Mission - MICE 101
Again,
I am a serial starter. In the Philippine
Association of Convention, Exhibition Organizers and Suppliers (PACEOS) which
I am also a board of director, I spearheaded MICE 101 an idea to educate future
MICE players. There are no seminars for this industry in the country and this
was the first. Again, the results are outstanding. My smile is wide that it
reaches both ends of my ears. MICE stand for Meetings, Incentive Travel,
Convention and Exhibition - we aim to claim our lost spot in Asia in this industry.
9. A Fruitful Meeting and Trip – Puerto
Prinsesa, Palawan
Meet the
Palawan Tourism Office – check. Forge partnership – check. Visit the Crocodile
Farm and eat crocodile meat – check. Visit the Underground River – check. Eat
Vietnamese food with the local twist – check. Honda Bay – check. All I can say
is that I will be back in Palawan since I left my heart there.
10. A Challenge, a Fun Wrapped into
One – Being Appointed as Head of the Ad Congress 2013 Trade Exhibition
I love Ad
Congress. This is one of the best events in the country. This is one of the
best events to learn. To be given responsibility to head a critical area. Boy
oh boy that is more fun. My competitive juice is up. I am looking forward to
meet the expectations of the Executive Committee and the people who believed in
me this Ad Congress 2013.
11. A Confirmation – Published in
PANA’s Ad Edge Magazine
One blog
article I wrote got the people behind Ad Edge interested. This leads to a
communication and the rest is history. Although there is an honorarium that
goes along with it but I remember my feelings when one of my poems got
published in the Philippine Daily Inquirer. Honorarium does not matter what
matter is that special feeling of getting acknowledged for your hard and
excellent work.
12. An Event to Say Thank You - FBW
Meet-up
I call this a
landmark achievement of being able to convince the FBW Family to have an event
inside one of our events. The reason is simple online friends need to meet offline.
This group is a family for me. Seriously, to see in person the people I engage daily online
is another experience that makes you smile on life’s simple pleasure.
I wanted to
add other things that makes this year awesome but I think just to recount these
12 things is sufficient enough to say that blessings overflowed this year in my
path in the events management industry. I am looking forward to claiming what
is in store for me this coming years – ooh I can’t wait.
