Greetings from New Orelans, or NOLA for short!
The 2024 AMPP Annual Conference + Expo commenced with gusto at Sunday’s Opening Night Reception. This year’s event, co-sponsored by AMPP and Carboline, began at 5:30 p.m. on March 3 and ended about two hours later.
The theme, Mardi Gras Mambo, showed up throughout the great hall with colorful lights and decorations. A large, lit “AMPP & Carboline” sign celebrated the co-sponsorship across the room’s center.
This year, Carboline offered a VIP area in the back for attendees, as well as lively music by a DJ; food and drink stations around the hall; and a photo booth station. Party-goers mingled inside and out to say hello to friends, colleagues, and business associates, all while connecting with new faces, as well.
It’s the kickoff to another great conference. Here’s to the week ahead!
