ABC Speed Networker - August

The Centerpiece of American Q, the dining location at the B Resort

On August 28th, 2014, The Busy Bee Events and Design coordinated the Association of Bridal Consultants August networking event. The event was held at the "B" Resort in Lake Buena Vista. This resort just re-opened from a HUGE renovation. It used to be known as the Royal Plaza Hotel. The renovation was very successful, as the resort is beautiful. It had some great convention and meeting spaces, some really amazing eclectic decor, and a fun, "down home" farm themed restaurant named American Q.

The Speed Networker Event

 The premise of a Speed Networker is very similar to Speed Dating. You spend a couple of minutes of time with a professional and you learn about their business, they learn about yours and you learn how you can help each other evolve in the industry. At the ABC Speed Networker, there were many great wedding and event professionals present and there were a lot of business relationships formed.
