Plan An Event They
Will
Never Forget

Are you looking for a new twist on that boring ballroom or meeting space for your next event? Follow the lead (and the yellow brick road) of Meeting Planners International (MPI), the largest meeting and event industry association worldwide, and host it a JA World! In December, Junior Achievement's 60,000 sq ft facility was chosen as the event space for MPI's jaw-dropping Wizard of Oz themed holiday party. Take a look to see the evening in action!
Thank you, MPI for giving JA the opportunity to spotlight our fantastic facility! Want to do the same? Contact Kellie Hensley at 954-979-7124 or [email protected] for more information. |
