Media Sponsor EVENT DETAILS: Event City will be on hand to preview a special 15-minute presentation, structured more as a Q&A, from H&R Block on what we ‘Social Media’ and/or independent consultants should know about this tax season (writers, bloggers, producers who got 1099’s as well as people with affiliate revenues, contractors working for you for the first time, deductions and even the stimulus package). Event City will potentially put together a similar program for all of our Events & Creative industries. Please feel free to browse the Social Media Tax Center for answers to many of the Tax questions you might have in this genre. You can also see a simple presentation to help you move along with your taxes and also to ask any questions in advance for this presentation or for future reference. If you haven’t filed your returns yet and could use some advice, bring your list of questions and meet 1:1 with a tax professional who will be happy to answer all your questions. Already filed your tax returns for 2008? Come anyway, as you never know what tip you might pick up for NEXT year – or – might even be worth filing amended return. There will be an open bar and some good eats to be shared, all thanks to our friends at H&R Block and lots of opportunity to mingle and make new friends. The hosts, promises to keep the Q&A fairly short, so it allows for mingle time.

To be involved in some of our future Events similar to these please email the Event City Network.

BENTLY RESERVE & CONFERENCE CENTER

Plans for a series of events are taking shape quite nicely at the new BENTLY RESERVE CONFERENCE & EVENTS CENTER in San Francisco. On April 9th and 10th, Christopher and Amber Marie Bently, owners of The Bently Reserve, are set to debut it’s new sustainable upgrades and the state-of-the-art Bently Conference Center with a series of events and festivities open to business associates, the media, event managers, meeting planners and the hospitality industry.

The crown jewel of the renovated building is the new Conference Center on the 2nd floor, boasting a variety of sustainable features and innovative technologies for meetings, parties, videoconferencing and corporate events. While it’s no mystery to San Franciscans who host lavish weddings and groundbreaking conferences there, The Bently Reserve is now more unique and appealing than ever thanks to an array of new eco-friendly features and innovative technologies.

Green, energy-efficient highlights include core upgrades like the new building control HVAC system, which was completely upgraded with a digital control, offering centralized on-site and remote temperature control, allowing off-site control for evening and weekend events.

The upgraded lighting controller – the Lutron Lighting EcoSystem™ – (which happens to be one of this writer’s favorite) networks all lighting systems together and allows exact monitoring of kilowatts to accurately measure energy consumption. Advanced lighting sensors automatically detect outside light and adjust the interior lights to maximize energy savings. There are only three other commercial facilities on Earth with the same system installed on this scale.

In addition, the old CFC-based air conditioning chiller units were removed and replaced with a new, modern non-CFC based refrigerant system. This is a huge plus for event planners, especially when you get a crowed room of party-goers, all that body heat can really blast up the temperature in any room; this new air conditioning system will keep everyone nice and cool.

The latest digital technology was integrated into the new Conference Center, making it one of the most appealing destinations in San Francisco for conferences and business meetings. Teleconferencing equipment from Polycom offers high-definition quality and “Continuous Presence”, which allows conference attendees in multiple physical locations to see and hear each other in real-time digital squares on a monitor or screen. A highly-secure network using the latest Cisco Systems firewall and switch equipment creates peace of mind and a network that is secure enough to support government agencies. There is wireless internet available via completely segregated network access throughout the facility. With this system, individuals can connect to the network via their laptops throughout the Conference Center. In addition, there is also a business area with available computer rentals, fax machines, copiers, and scanners. Companies can also select from a variety of comprehensive audio/visual and telecommunications packages to suit their needs.

As you can see from the pictures, this is a beautiful venue, but its beauty is not truly appreciated until you had the opportunity to visit this incredible venue. If you are an Event or Meeting industry Professional, Corporate Planners, anyone involved in the Hospitality or Entertainment industries please send us an email and we will send you a complete detailed email of event schedules and the Venue’s manager contact information.

We look forward to seeing you at the New Bently Reserve Sneak Peak Events on April 9th and 10th in San Francisco.
