On Wednesday, December 3rd from 1:00–3:00 PM, the NACE Boston Chapter invites you to celebrate the season with a hands-on floral design demonstration led by Artistic Blossoms, one of New England’s premier floral studios.
Step into a world of winter elegance as the Artistic Blossoms team guides us through crafting stunning holiday arrangements using fresh greens, seasonal blooms, and simple bundles you can find at your local grocery store or flower shop. This presentation is designed to teach practical skills you can bring straight into your own events—perfect for centerpieces, small arrangements, and elevated seasonal décor.
Throughout the afternoon, guests will learn approachable, professional techniques while watching the designers build beautiful pieces step-by-step. At the end of the presentation, attendees will be invited to take home small bundles of florals to practice with and continue the creativity. Enjoy festive drinks, light seasonal bites, and plenty of inspiration as we learn, mingle, and welcome the start of the holiday season together. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

Sales and operations are often seen as two sides of the same coin, but when they are not in sync, the entire event experience can suffer. Join NACE Boston at Urban Wild for an engaging and honest conversation about how we can better align these two essential functions of the hospitality and events industry.
National speaker Andy Bomberger, CPCE, CMP, will guide us through the mindset shift required to break down silos, improve communication, and create a more collaborative environment between sales and operations teams. He will explore how a symbiotic approach not only reduces stress but can also lead to stronger client experiences and greater financial success.
This is more than a lecture. It’s a chance to connect with peers, share experiences, and walk away with practical strategies that can improve how we work together. Whether you are on the front lines of sales or managing logistics behind the scenes, this event is designed for you.
