API Celebrates Ten Years with TEAM Net

By Dianne McGarey, CMP

Remember the days when Atlanta’s Axtell Productions International produced annual showcases for the purpose of introducing clients to the latest and greatest convention talent available? Hotels, airlines, and entertainers came together under the careful management of API to create unforgettable event experiences. In 1995 during the showcase activities, Axtell rolled out a new concept for their clients. In addition to introducing them to new talent . . . API also introduced them to a number of event associates across the U.S.; and from that humble beginning, TEAM Net was born which stands for Total Event Arrangements and Meeting Network.

Since that time, the members of TEAM Net have been diligent to support each other with event services as clients travel from city to city. The organization established a stringent set of bylaws, qualifications for new member acceptance, and a code of ethics from which to operate. Now, ten years later, TEAM Net is proud to be the ongoing global partner with Event Solutions Magazine lending sponsorship support to annual trade shows, the most recent of which is slated for Atlanta August 22-26, 2005.

TEAM Net will be hosting the opening night reception at the eleven50 event facility on Crescent Avenue. The night’s entertainment agenda will include the fabulous Ruperts Orchestra along with some other wonderful on-site surprises. Axtell Productions will play a key roll in producing this event (August 22) and we encourage our MPI friends and associates to sign up early to experience the entire Event Solutions Show in Atlanta this year!
