Metro Events Specialists’ fourth networking event brought in more than 200 attendees ranging from event planners, photographers, and nonprofit professionals to emcees, DJs, and graphic designers, even a cheesecake chef. The event, hosted at the swank L2 Lounge in Georgetown, provided a forum for pros and amateurs alike to share their passion for events and make connections for future ventures. Music was provided by a DJ from Washington Talent, Photo and Video, gift bags were distributed by Premier Bride, and on-the-spot photos were snapped and printed by Poshbooth Custom Photobooths.

“I walked in a complete rookie to event planning and organization, but left a convert!” said Ashley Haugo, who works in communications for the League of Conservation Voters. “I met extremely motivated and multi-talented individuals who gave me excellent advice and resources to break into the field . . . not to mention the very cool new friends I made!”

Sponsors included Exhibit Imaging; L2 Lounge; Poshbooth; Premier Bride Magazine; Washingtion Talent, Photo, and Video; Sweet Dreams Studios, and Magician Josh Norris.
