A new networking group, EventLNK, is being formed in Lincoln with membership opportunities available for event/meeting planners, coordinators and managers.  Jill Smith, Event Coordinator at Union Bank, has partnered with other local planners from the Lincoln Chamber of Commerce, University of Nebraska-Lincoln and The Perfect Occasion to establish and organize EventLNK.  The initial organizing group began meeting in the fall of 2012, and recently held their Introduction Meeting, hosted by Top Shelf Beverage Services, in March.

Monthly member meetings will include site visits to various venues around Lincoln and presentations from vendors, suppliers and hospitality professionals. Meetings will also include a dedicated topic-driven discussion time where event professionals can brainstorm ideas and share experiences and resources with other members and industry experts.

The EventLNK launch has been scheduled for Monday, May 20th from 1:30-3:00 p.m. at the Courtyard by Marriott, located at 808 R Street. Attendees will also be offered the opportunity to tour the property during the event.  Any event/meeting planner, coordinator or manager is invited to attend. To RSVP for the May meeting or for other inquiries, please email info@eventlnk.org.
