We’re bringing home a NACE One Award!
Last week at the NACE Experience Conference in New Orleans, NACE Central Coast was named Chapter Education Program of the Year for chapters with 31–64 members.
We were honored to be finalists alongside chapters from South Florida, Greater Denver, Phoenix, Las Vegas, Ventura, and Boston. Amazing company, indeed.
Education has always been at the heart of what we want to create for our Central Coast events community: thoughtful, relevant programs that help all of us grow, connect, and do better work.
Which makes our next program feel especially fitting.
The Hospitality Gap: Why Clients Buy From One Vendor and Not Another
Tuesday, August 18, 2026
3:00–6:00 PM
Higuera Ranch
We’ll be exploring what happens when hospitality is built into the entire client journey, from the first lead through the event and beyond. How do you create trust before someone books? What makes one vendor stand out over another? And what keeps clients coming back?
We’ll hear from an incredible panel of hospitality-first professionals, along with the client perspective on why certain vendors earn repeat business for corporate events.
The afternoon will also include light bites from Kullman Catering, wines from Derby Estates, tours of Higuera Ranch and a look at their new vision for the property, plus a Pop-Up Scent Bar from The Mayan Collective.
Tickets are already halfway sold out, so this is not the one to wait on. Link in bio for tickets.
Come celebrate this national recognition with us and join us for the kind of education that keeps moving our industry forward.
