Houston Special Event Awards Show
Overview
The 2004 Houston Special Events Awards Dinner, held in Houston, Texas, on September 19, 2005, was an incredible evening honoring the best in Houston's special event industry. During the evening, the 200 guests were entertained by a soul group, the emcee, a local dance troupe and the synchronized waiters from the Hilton Americas Hotel. The evening served to showcase the talents of some of ISES Houston members, present the special events awards, honor the local convention bureau president for his industry contributions and also served as a chapter fundraiser. All four purposes were executed with the ease and futuristic style only Houston's best could produce. This event raised over $35,000 and was a success for the small organization.
