Multiple Events Prove to Be No Problem for CMA Event Planners

Multiple Events Prove to Be No Problem for CMA Event Planners

This week, several members of the CMA staff worked diligently out of the office to provide the expert on-site event management our association clients have come to expect. The fall conference and tradeshow season is officially underway!

PAICR’s 11th Annual Conference

CMA started off the week with a two-day conference in New York City for PAICR (the Professional Association for Investment Communications Resources). The CMA team created an atmosphere perfect for the essential networking and education this niche of the financial industry depends on, even amidst the slight commotion in the Wall Street area due to a visit by the President on Monday. CMA’s PR team coordinated media attention from key industry publications who reported on the lively discussions on the future of financial marketing.

IFPUG’s 4th Annual ISMA Conference & Workshops

Three other members of the event management team spent the week in Chicago with some of the most technically-advanced minds in the nation at the International Software Measurement and Analysis (ISMA) Conference, hosted by the International Function Points Users Group (IFPUG). At Chicago’s historic Palmer House Hilton, CMA’s IFPUG account team coordinated a series of workshops and presentations for the best of the best in software development. Attendance was boosted by CMA’s effective marketing campaign prior to the conference that played on the skyscrapers of the city.

ICMA’s Green Summit II and Fall Academy Workshops

The International Card Manufacturers Association (ICMA) held back-to-back events this week, also in the Chicago area, starting with the association’s Green Summit II: The Greening of the Factory. Attendees felt they benefitted tremendously from the perspectives of major lighting manufacturers, waste management experts and environmental packaging professionals. All speakers were arranged and promoted by the CMA event management staff, keeping in mind the association’s newly-created Green Task Force’s quest to determine an ecolabelling system for the industry. Later in the week, ICMA conducted its annual Fall Academy Workshops, which examined multiple trends in the card manufacturing industry. Next week, the seasoned CMA event team will travel to Dubai for the association’s first-ever Middle East Workshop and then on to Rome, Italy for the European Workshop in mid-October.
