Happy Holidays from all of us at Live Spark.

It's been a challenging year, in some ways, for the event industry. By and large, companies scaled back on travel--and this included large, live events.

However, it didn't stop meetings altogether. With the recession, companies had more reason to get their people together; to boost morale, get everyone on the same page, realign the team, direct employees towards common goals, etc.

What ended up happening was that companies shifted their focus from the big and glamorous elements of a live event (lighting, fancy staging, bigname entertainment, etc.) and started focusing on what was really important: the message.

It was with this renewed focus on the effectiveness of a face-to-face event (no matter how large or small) that we were able to help new, current and past clients develop events that truly had an impact on their organization. We didn't just work harder--we worked smarter--and it was our clients who pushed us to new heights.

Thank you for continuing to challenge us to come up with new, creative and innovative solutions. Thank you for your feedback, support and business.

Most of all, thank you for being a part of the Live Spark family.

As we head into the new year--the busiest time of year--we look forward to what is ahead. To new creative developments, to new faces, to new solutions and new audiences.

Happy Holidays!

Your friends at Live Spark
