Amerivents Event Staffing & Management’s Post

Welcome to MPI KBC chapter MORGAN BOONE, Private Events Manager - West Sixth Brewing Where did you grow up? New Albany, Indiana - right across the bridge from Louisville, KY! Who are the most important people in your life? My Parents - They really sacrificed a lot and put a ton of work into giving me the opportunity to create the life that I have today! Seeing everything that they have done for me has really instilled a strong work ethic and helps to guide the decisions that I make. Also my partner, Mark! I’d never have my current role if he didn’t encourage me to apply and introduce me to craft beer! Who do you work for and what is your role? West Sixth Brewing - Private Events Manager. I manage our private event spaces across our 3 taprooms in Lexington, Louisville, & Frankfort. I plan around 400 private events & table reservations throughout the year. What is the best thing about your job? So many things! The best part about this industry is that no day is ever the same since every event is different! It creates a great mix of different styles of work. Being with West Sixth also allows for a lot of flexibility and creativity with events and trying out new ideas! This has really allowed me to make this role my own. Last, being a part of the craft beer scene in Kentucky has been a really cool experience. What is your proudest moment? Buying our first house this past year! It seemed like something that was going to be out of reach (especially due to the recent changes), but it felt great to know that all of my hard work paid off and we were able to achieve this big life step! What one piece of advice would you give to someone beginning their career in the Events Industry? Gather as much experience (especially in the customer service field) as you can when you’re starting - bartend, work at hotels, golf courses, restaurants, etc! These experiences allow you to see the inner workings of the tourism & hospitality industry and touch a lot of different areas without realizing it (alcohol, culinary, customer experiences, weddings, decor, meet different vendors that are a part of the industry, & so much more). When you’re getting started you’re able to draw a lot from these past experiences and apply them to your new roles as you learn how to manage them. #membership #newmember #eventindustry

Our Fargo Market Director of Sales, Cristina A. McCoy, is representing our DoubleTree by Hilton West Fargo, Homewood Suites by Hilton West Fargo Sanford Medical Center Area, Four Points by Sheraton Fargo Medical Center and Hampton Inn & Suites by Hilton Fargo Medical Center in Bismarck along side other hotels and our local Fargo-Moorhead Convention & Visitors Bureau to show Bismarck what our Fargo Market has to offer! Great Job Cristina! 👏🏽 What is the expression "North of Normal"? "Maybe you’ve wondered what on earth “North of Normal” actually means. We think that it has to do with a way of life that only people in Fargo will understand. Embracing the ice cold winters, planning and attending out of this world events, and unique and one-of-a-kind restaurants that you would never expect in a city this size."

🌐 Why a Modern Website Design Matters in 2024 🚀 In today's digital age, your website is often the first impression potential clients or customers have of your business. Here's why having a modern-looking website is crucial: 1. Building Trust: A sleek, contemporary design builds trust with visitors. It shows professionalism and attention to detail, crucial for establishing credibility in the eyes of your audience. 2. Loading Speed: Ensuring your website loads quickly is crucial for retaining visitors. Slow loading times can frustrate users and lead to higher bounce rates. 3. SEO Optimization: Modern websites are typically designed with search engine optimization (SEO) best practices in mind, making it easier for potential clients/customers to find your website through search engines like Google. The future of search is changing rapidly and drastically - you need to keep up and make sure AI platforms are pushing users to your content! 4. Natural Flow of Information: Modern websites are designed with user experience in mind. They guide visitors through the information intuitively, making it easier for them to understand your offerings and navigate your content. 5. Ease of Navigation: Visitors appreciate websites where they can quickly find what they're looking for. A modern design ensures that navigation is seamless, reducing bounce rates and keeping visitors engaged longer. 6. Compatibility Across Devices: With the majority of users accessing the internet via mobile devices, having a website that is responsive and compatible across all screen sizes is non-negotiable. A modern website adapts effortlessly to desktops, tablets, and smartphones alike. Investing in a modern website isn't just about aesthetics—it's about enhancing user experience, building trust, and ultimately driving business growth in a competitive digital landscape. We're excited at Traverse Hospitality to be partnering with hostAI on building our website for the future.

📚 Who else was inspired to pick up Will Guidara's book, 'Unreasonable Hospitality,' after seeing it on Hulu's 'The Bear'? 🐻 Will Guidara's book shares numerous experiences that resonate with me, but one particular insight hit home today: "'Being present' means caring so much about what you're doing that you stop caring about everything you need to do next." In every role I undertake, my goal is to leave a positive impact. You know, the whole 'leave things better than you found them' concept. One of the ways I fulfill this mission is through a spirit of hospitality. This goes beyond having a vibing office space (which I'll probably never master). I try to meet each individual I interact with with a genuine sense of welcome and invitation. Will's experience reminds me of the power of being fully present in every interaction, creating ample opportunity for hospitality. How do you practice hospitality in your professional life? Would love to hear your thoughts! 💬 #Hospitality #UnreasonableHospitality #Mission

I recently came across a video that struck a chord with me in the most wonderful way. If you know me personally, you're aware that I spent a good chunk of my life - around 30 years, to be precise (though, let's be honest, in the realm of family businesses, it feels more like 50 years!) - running my family's business, Schreibman Jewelers. We were known for our exquisite tableware, jewelry, and gifts, and boasted the largest bridal registry in Northeast Ohio. But our success wasn't solely based on the quality of our products; it was rooted in our commitment to providing a warm and personal experience to every customer who walked through our doors. I used to tell my staff something that I truly believed in: listen and wait for the opening. Instead of assuming what a customer needed, we waited for them to tell us. Did they need a comforting hug along with their shower gift? Or perhaps they simply needed a quiet moment on our couch with a cup of tea to unwind from a rough morning. This approach extended to our employees as well. I saw them as my greatest asset, not just the items we were selling. In my experience, great hospitality and great leadership go hand in hand. A great leader isn't just a great manager; they are someone who listens to their team, who understands what they need in each moment to thrive and excel in their work. It is through this approach that we find the greatest rewards and the highest profits. I invite you to watch this video that resonated with me deeply. It brought back nostalgic memories and sparked thoughts about the concept of hospitality and how it can be applied in almost any aspect of life. Let's embrace the power of genuine connection and create meaningful experiences for everyone around us. #hospitality #wellbeing #tableware #luxurygoods #familybusiness #selfcare #leadershipskills #brandingidentity

Watching a Ted Talk recently shared by my wife, who has been an inspiration in both my life and career, I was reminded of the undeniable power of listening and personal connection in business. Her experience of nurturing a family business for three decades by prioritizing genuine hospitality struck a chord with me. Great leadership mirrors great hospitality; it's about being attuned to the needs of both customers and employees, recognizing that our interactions are the most valuable currency. This talk underlines the essence of what we practiced daily at Schreibman Jewelers where I worked with her for 6+ years: creating meaningful experiences is at the heart of sustainable success. I encourage you to watch this Ted Talk. It's a compelling reminder that the core of any business isn't just what we sell, but how we make people feel. A lesson in the true essence of hospitality that transcends industries. #Leadership #Hospitality #BusinessEthics #TedTalk
