Events Day 08 : Speakers - Meet Sammy Leslie

One of my favourite people in the world of events is Aileen Eglinton - a woman after my own heart, she works hard and smart and is passionate about standards and qualifications. I'm hoping we'll get her more involved in the Centre for Excellence in Events (more about that at Events Day 08 ... ). Aileen has introduced me to many new friends in the world of events, including Marie Murphy of Innovative Events. She's a genuine innovator. And also to the delightful Eleanor Cullen, who took us out for a gorgeous dinner at La Peniche a week or so ago (more about that in the NEO Ezine shortly).
So when Aileen asked if we'd like to have Sammy Leslie speak at Events Day 08, I knew we were in for a treat. Sammy Leslie is the proprietor of Castle Leslie, and she has done the most amazing job of bringing what was a pretty delapidated old family home into being one of the most sought after venues for corporate entertaining and private enjoyment. She had a dream of filling the house with laughter and people and bringing it alive again. Which she has done - and into the bargain created a most impressive track record in the numbers field.

We're really looking forward to hearing Sammy tell us all about how she achieved this - so if you haven't already done so - book your place now at the booking pages. We look forward to seeing you on the 30th!
