Anticipation/Marketing

The anticipation group is producing fabulous marketing materials, and plan to have "rack cards" that are gorgeous and ready to go within the next week! We also plan to have the press release LAUNCHED any day now!

Anticipation/Sponsorships

The sponsorship team has sponsorship packets ready to rock and roll! If you would like to communicate with them regarding sponsorship opportunities for Cab & Cab 2011, they can be reached at: cabcab2011@hotmail.com

Arrival/Amenities

The Arrival team is working hard nailing down a sponsor to provide signage and programs for the event. They want everyone to know where they're going and when! Online ticket sales will open up soon, so keep checking back!

The Amenities team is researching some exciting take homes gifts for the attendees! They also have some personalized gift ideas for those buying corporate tables, as well as for sponsors! Not only will you leave the event with a smile and a full stomach, but you'll also have something that will remind you of what a great time you had at Cab & Cab!

Appetite

The appetite group is coming up with some really amazing treats for everyone to enjoy during Cab & Cab! We don't want to spoil all of the details, but they have talked with the class that will be cooking all of these delectable goodies.  They, too, are impressed with their choices and excited to make culinary dreams come true!

Atmosphere

Atmosphere worked this week on creating a general production schedule for the event. They also started putting together a color scheme of Black, Red, and White!
