Networking was the name of the game as Southland Printing sponsored music and cocktails for more than 500 attendees at the IPI show Tuesday evening. The timing of the event was perfect as it wound down in time for people to meet with old and new friends for dinner.
The Catahoula Blues Band added live music and four bars provided libations. According to Southland CEO John Manno invitations were sent out a month in advance and social media follow up ensured that the Courtyard area of the Gaylord Palms was full and a good time was had by all. His wife Lynne was hostess for the event.
One of the things that made the event such a success was the large number of attendees I didn’t recognize. It provided the opportunity to meet new parking pros and renew old friendships.
Thanks to Southland for putting on such a “yuge” event.
