We had the honor and the extreme fun to be a part of staff training at the new
Hotel W. On the first day of training we offered Abe Lincoln on stilts welcoming the new trainees in Pershing Park, directly in front of the newly renovated hotel. They followed Abe to the hotel for a reception including Marie Antoinette costumed as a strolling buffet table, and a very sexy version of George Washington.
On the last day of training, the trainees were entertained by our Obama lookalike, Secret Service agents, sexy George, a body builder "Colonial Gentleman," and a feminine version of sexy George based on the Cindy Crawford cover of the former "George" magazine.
We are excited that this hip new venue, only a block from the White House, is going to be a great new addition to the events scene in Washington DC!
Many attendees and exhibitors braved the typhoon assaulting the Bay Area, and gathered in the spacious Craneway Pavilion in Richmond Virginia. All were rewarded by a fabulous array of ISES-NCC members showing off their services, a great lunch with an inspiring speaker, and to top it all off: the sun came out! Pictured above are our strolling buffet table, and our "Clinging Vine" stilt walker.
