GCG EVENT PARTNERS NEWSLETTER
SUMMER 2017
Just like the sun sets on a beautiful summer day, the summer itself comes to end once we reach Labor Day. The GCG team had an eventful summer visiting places like Morocco, Venice, Barcelona, Cape Cod, San Diego, the Jersey Shore, and a plethora of other beaches and lakes. Unfortunately, the time for summer daydreaming is drawing to a close. We are already hard at work, involved with many meetings and events taking place in the fall; it looks like it is going to be a very busy season. We hope the fall is just as busy for you, and please keep us in mind if you’re looking for onsite assistance.
We had an industry expert contribute some noteworthy information in our blog this summer. Christy Lamagna shared her thoughts on the event industry’s profession and its future. To see more from Christy, you can follow her on Twitter here. 
GCG Event Partners was thrilled to learn of our designation as one of Feedspot’s Top 200 Event Planning Blogs and Websites for Event Planners and Event Management Professionals. We find ourselves included on this list among influential leaders and peers. If you are looking for industry related information, these blogs serve as a great resource. We’re proud to be included! 
The trend is real, San Francisco is becoming a hot spot for meetings and events.
