The
CREATIVE
Issue
Easy Design Ideas
For Conventions &
Social Events
More and more meeting and event planners
like Heather Herrig, principal of Atlanta-area
event planning firm Every Last Detail, are
using social sharing sites for inspirational
and do-it-yourself event design ideas.
From blogs to websites like Pinterest and
Etsy, the web is a buffet of easy ideas for
food and beverage, graphics and
signage, and production and décor. But
before you venture online to hunt down
the next best thing, take a look here.
Convention and event facilities from across
the South helped us compile this roundup
of ideas for producing simple,
chic and affordable events.
"I've been
spending
more time
on Pinterest
when
sourcing
ideas for
events."
—Heather Herrig,
Every Last Detail
"Throw out traditional
event design rules
and
mix
disparate
styles
to create
something fresh."
—Kevin Dana, CORT Events
