Ever wonder why the best in the industry have so much in common? Often they are market leaders, volunteers, philanthropic, and make it all look so easy? We’ll let you in on a little secret - they spend time with others who are also the best at what they do. The author Jim Rohn, wrote that “you’re the average of the five people you spend the most time with”.
Here’s your opportunity to join our best and brightest giving back to OUR industry through SEARCH. Because it’s a SEARCH event, you’ll also be doing it in style! Right out of the gate you’ll have the chance to toast your success while listening to live music and creative event design. The night will continue with new inside jokes you’ll be a part of, renewals of friendships that span thousands of miles, and introductions that could take your career to the next level. All this and your ticket price and bidding will contribute to life changing aid to those who need it the most in our industry.
All it takes to be successful is the right attitude and the right collaborators. You bring the attitude and we’ll provide the best hearts and minds our industry has ever known. See you in Denver!

Promotional Information From The Event:
Come and support the SEARCH Foundation at this incredible event; a tribute to the films of Quentin Tarantino! Immerse yourself in the world of the iconic films of one of the greatest writer/directors in cinematic history. Tarantino’s legendarily quotable dialogue is framed by his homage to great music and his obsession with food – two things event professionals love. Grab yourself a “Royale With Cheese” and show us your best dance moves just like Mia and Vincent did in the “Jack Rabbit Slim’s Twist Contest” from Pulp Fiction.
This will be a night filled with great food, lively music and exciting entertainment that you will not want to miss. Share a few laughs with old friends and network with new ones as we raise funds to help the SEARCH Foundation to continue its mission to assist event, meeting and hospitality professionals in crisis.
