Meetings and Events Houston Hosts 2011 Winter Event at Hard Rock Cafe
For Immediate Release:
Houston (February 17, 2011) — Meetings & Events Houston held their annual event, a mixer soiree which brings event planners, hospitality vendors, and industry professionals together. Nearly 200 meeting professionals attended the Winter Event which was held at the popular Hard Rock Café in the Theater District.

Although the weather conditions were not favorable, many still braved the cold temperatures to enjoy the Valentine’s Day themed event which was highlighed by the beautiful floral designs of Cynthia Ayure. Once inside, attendees noshed on appetizers provided by Straits, Sambuca, and Gigi’s Asian Bistro. The venue too offered small plate food and a Hard Rock signature cocktail.

Vendors were able to meet with planners on a face-to-face basis and discuss the issues facing the industry today. In addition, planners were able to meet contacts from Houston’s best venues and event service providers, giving them all the resources they need for a successful calendar year. “What a lovely and delicious party on a cold night”, noted Sandy McCarthy, the Global Accounts Manager at HelmsBriscoe.

The first 150 guests to arrive received complimentary totes bags filled with goods from local venues and vendors, including gift certificates from Howl At The Moon, drinks tickets from Pete’s Dueling Piano Bar, iTunes gift cards from House of Dereon, and shuttle passes from The Wave. Door prize winners received such items as a family plus membership to The Children’s Museum, a staycation package from The Westin Memorial City, and a luxury suite for the opening of Disney on Ice at Reliant Park.

This year’s event proved a success as the Hard Rock Café allowed for attendees to mingle at their leisure in a casual and fun atmosphere. In addition, new business relationships were forged and existing ones solidified. For more information about upcoming events, visit
