It's fun, it's a whirlwind, it's intense and it's exhilarating all at the same time. We don't want to leave, yet we're so happy when we return home.

We always get lots of dads bringing in kids to shop for mom, and I’ve noticed over the last 20 years that jewelry is always an easy pick

Instead of bourbon and brats for men to shop for the women in their lives, we are doing milk and cookies for kids to shop for the mothers in their lives. It’s a kiddos-only party!

“I don't sleep, I’ll be up at 5:30am, in the office by 7:30am, and up till 1am that morning,” said Brandi Yee of Spring2ACTion, Alexandria's annual 24-hour giving day.

Each year, Helen Olivia, along with a few of our closest industry pals, team up to put on a party just for industry friends. Spearheaded by Ridgewells Caterers and Design Foundry, event planners, venue managers, and vendors alike all don their best frocks and gather for a fabulous event.
