*** 6/29 Metro Event Specialists Networking Mixer @ George of DC ***
MES mixers are the best place to network with fellow event professionals. With over 1000 members in DC, MD, and VA (and no cost to attend) our attendance is typically well over 200. Our diverse membership of planners and vendors, and our unique community spirit, make MES events both fun and productive.
In addition to some great networking you will also get an exclusive look at one of DC’s newest venues, George. Located in Historic Georgetown, this venue features historical photographs of Georgetown, unique mirrors, leather seating, chandeliers and polished brass bars.
As with all MES networking events, this event is ABSOLUTELY FREE to attend. However, space is limited to the first 300 responses.
YOU MUST RSVP AT: http://metroevents.org/events?event_id=10
