The
Monster’s Bash
Come out of your coffins and dust off your capes!
It’s time to sink your teeth into the 4th Annual Monster’s
Bash on November 1st. Join your fellow MACE! 2006
participants and other meeting professionals from
all around the Washington DC Metropolitan area for
a frightfully fun night! The Sofitel Lafayette Square
has pulled out all the stops and laid all the tombstones.
Come out and join in the fun. Don’t be scared!
MACE!
2006 Marketplace
The MACE! Marketplace will provide you time to visit
face-to-face with meeting industry suppliers you can
count on to solve problems and make your meetings
shine! Evaluate products and services that can take
away your planning headaches and make your meetings
so much more productive and cost-effective. Gather
critical information about regional, national and
international properties, see product demonstrations
and take a close look at business opportunities you
might not have considered before — all in our planner-friendly
hall with just over 100 exhibitors. You won’t be lost
in the crowd!
Closing
Night Extravaganza
Have you ever dreamed of being the front person in
your favorite band? Do you jump at the opportunity
to perform before a crowd? Do you sing to the top
of your lungs in your car or shower? Perhaps you just
like the entertainment. If so, you will really enjoy
the MACE! 2006 Closing Night Extravaganza at the Washington
Convention Center. Experience MACE! Idol and sing
for the PMPI 2006-2007 charity, Food and Friends.
Stop daydreaming about being on stage and get up and
sing. Bring your friends and colleagues for moral
support or just come out and support your fellow MACE!
2006 attendees. This is a great opportunity to network
and meet new clients and vendors in a relaxed and
fun environment.
