Wilmington Young Professionals Networking Mixer
Last night – Thursday, November 19th – I attended the Wilmington Young Professionals November Business After Hours at The River Room in Wilmington, North Carolina. As many of our clients and business associates know, Skybox Creative + Skybox Ink are expanding our offices to North Carolina in August 2010. We are extremely excited to get involved with the local Wilmington businesses. So far, I have received a warm welcome from each person I have met! Everyone in Wilmington seems to love it here, there is a strong sense of camaraderie and community that is felt immediately.
One of the gentleman I met, Brian McArtan is co-owner of The River Room as well as VP of DJ Professionals & Video. Awesome guy. He is a man on the move with big plans for the future, I am looking forward to hearing all about them! The River Room is a venue with 2,500 sq ft of meeting and event space available for all types of meeting, rehearsal dinners, corporate events or simply a cool place to hang out. They can seat 80 with a dance floor and cocktail style parties, they can accommodate up to 140. It must have been close to that last night, WYP brought a diverse and entertaining crowd of over 100 to fill the colonial style, yet contemporary venue.
Jackie Willse, was the host of the event. Jackie is one busy woman, organizing events for WYP, Owner/Candlemaster of Port City Candles and more! Chris Davis and I had a chance to chat about his photography work, which is amazing by the way! His focus is on Conceptual Ad Photography as well as Portrait work, check out his work here.
I also had the pleasure of meeting Courtney Shaver of The Bride’s Book (A bridal magazine), Monica Tockman – Wedding & Event Coordinator of Something Blue Productions, Steven Capo of Intelligent Placement Solutions (A physician job placement agency), among many others!
