A Day in the Life of a Team Member: The Aaron Long Stories

Wednesday September 30, 2009

Hello everyone! Just wanted to drop by on the blog and give an update on what is going on with our team here at Conference and Event Services! As you may have noticed, we have changed our name from UC Davis Conference Events and Visitors services to the sleek and simple Conferences and Event Services. The name changed was approved by the Chancellor herself, and we are excited to push forward into the future with a great name still bring you excellent event management.

On a personal note, this summer went very well for me! I was able to visit my family down in Southern California, as well as travel to one of our nation's most beautiful cities, Chicago. I am currently on the pursuit of finding a new home in which I will work and attend a post-undergrad program which I have yet to decide of. This move will take place within the next couple years so I want to get a jump on looking. Just another part of this journey called life, I'm on and I couldn't be more excited!

Well that's all for the Aaron Long stories! Until next time!

Another Successful Visit to Washington, D.C.

Monday September 28, 2009

Ana Kitchen and Lina Layiktez have been back from Washington, D.C. for a few weeks now and in short, their event was yet again another successful one! While out representing UC Davis' fine meeting facilities and services, they were able to connect and reconnect with past clients that are interested in coming out to Davis, California to hold one of their events.

New clients showed great interest in our new Hotel & Conference Center that has already turned some heads in the even planning industry. With the development of this newt facility, organizations will be able to not only meet on campus during academic calendar days, but stay as well. It is quite an achievement considering we like to propose UC Davis not only as a extremeley accomplished academic institution, but a place where folks can meet in a variety of facilities from rustic lodges to our new hotel & conference center.

Once again our department would like to thank and congratulate Ana and Lina for another successful tradeshow again! Way to go ladies!
