Most people don’t plan out every detail about what they will be doing three months in advance, or even 3 weeks in advance. In fact, I don’t normally know what I will be doing 3 days ahead of time! However, at Three Squares Inc. it is our job to plan our events down to the last detail months before they actually occur.

Although the 2011 Women In Green Forum isn’t until the end of August, here at TSI we are already hard at work preparing for it. For months we have been getting ready for the event – booking speakers, picking the venue, creating an agenda, and much more!

Last week, some of the TSI staff took a trip to the Sheraton Delfina to tour the facility and familiarize ourselves with the location of the upcoming Forum. I had never been to the hotel before, and upon entering I was immediately enchanted by its unique charm! Despite its association with the internationally renowned Sheraton name, the Delfina boasts a boutique-like feel and chic style that gives it an intimate and fun atmosphere.

When entering the penthouse ballroom where the general sessions will be held, my attention was drawn to its the large windows lining the walls. These give the room a very open atmosphere and offer stunning views of the Southern California ocean and mountains, evoking a greater appreciation of our beautiful world. Furthermore, the room has an elegant and formal ambiance, which will likely remind attendees of the Forum’s focus on business. What a perfect setting to discuss the sustainability industry!

Another highlight of the tour was our trip to the luxurious pool deck, where the Forum will host a reception for attendees. With cabanas and sofas lining the pool, the area has a beachy, relaxed vibe. While the area is now mostly filled with lounge chairs, for the reception there will be tables around the pool for dining, as well as an eco-shopping center that will feature local vendors selling a variety of green merchandise, including jewelry, clothing, home goods, and more. This beautiful, open space will surely encourage productive networking, learning, and shopping!

I left the Sheraton Delfina very impressed and convinced that it will provide attendees of this year’s Women in Green Forum with a perfect venue for learning about environmental sustainability and fostering lasting relationships.

Now, it is back to work, where we will continue to plan, plan, plan!
