| Theme Dιcor Basics By Pamela Patsavas, CSEP Whenever you are looking to enhance your events with theme décor, keep in mind that décor is much more than just oversized props. An effective theme design has many layers that meld together to create a dynamic look. |
| Soccer Players and Steamed Vegetables By Dave Treber I firmly believe that being “one” with your camp groups is the best way to serve them. But sometimes, that’s not always easy, especially when multiple groups are vying for your services. |
| Highlights from the 2005 ACCED-I Conference By Kathy Nelson, Ph D., CSEP, CMP I may have actually just attended the best conference of my life, the Association of Collegiate Conference and Events Directors-International’s 25th anniversary annual conference in Nashville in March. This is saying something, considering I have spent a great portion of the past 12 years planning, coordinating, and attending wide ranges of conference offerings from the highly academic to the extremely social around the globe. |

| Colors in Event Design: How to Evoke the Right Mood By Heidi Brumbach, CSEP Color can have a tremendous effect on an event’s mood. There have been many studies conducted on how colors affect our emotions and impact our daily lives. Some people even believe that colors have special powers. Without trying to offer a lesson in the metaphysics of colors, here are some of the mainstream American meanings of colors for your consideration when you design your events. |
| Webby Awards Recognize the Events Industry By Dan Nelson CSEP, CMP Website design is a driving force behind business, online and off. Businesses are expected to have websites; I mean my daughter’s student council has a website (she even has her own junior golf website), and groups devoted to quilting, motorcycle tires, roses, telescopes and baby clothes have websites. |
| Product Showcase “Dance Heads” goes beyond karaoke: As participants sing along with a hit song, the system superimposes their heads onto images of professional dancers' bodies. |
