<<<Why is there a pinecone in this picture?!
Special SPINConX 2020 Edition!

SPINJumpin' Geehosofat! 
by Stephanie Veiga

Can you believe that SPINConX is right around the corner?  And not only that, Thanksgiving is stuck right in the middle of the timeline, so trying to get anything prepared during the holiday will be like trying to manage the Crazy McCrazysons!  

I’m feeling stressed, is anyone else feeling stressed???  I feel like I've been stung by a festive Murder Hornet!  

WELLLLLLLL, lucky for us our cool as a cucumber partners at innoVia Productions and Zenevent will be at the SPINCon helm once more! Now I feel like I can just sit back and watch this baby unfold.  (You know, if babies actually unfolded).

So please, let SPIN take your money and you can join in on this Fun Festive Foolishness!  SPIN swears you WILL NOT be stung by an angry MURDER HORNET wearing a Santa Hat, because SPINConX is the ONLY event bold enough to GUARANTEE you NO MURDER HORNETS. Yep, that's right.  

But you know what there will be? Goats. Real goats. Clearly, this is a can't-miss event.

The Four C's of SPINConX DAY ONE:
Cookies, Caroling, Content Curation, and Christma-Chanu-Festi-Kwanzaa!

By The Head Elf

Get ready for some coffee talk as we kick off our three days of SPINConX festivities with a WORKSHOP: “The One Where We Discuss the Covid Sh*t Show”.  The Workshop is December 1st from 1-4pm CST, led by our friends at HauteDokimazo using their awesome method of content curation where the participants decide the topics that are most burning. NOTE: LIMITED TO 150 PEOPLE! 

Later that evening from 5-7pm CST, be sure ducks are in a row and your baking sheets are at the ready, cuz we're getting our Julia Childs on in the kitchen.  Join four friends as they virtually invite you into their homes to learn their secret recipes for amazing cookies, passed down for generations and generations, since the first cave-person discovered chocolate. You'll get to join two different cookie breakouts to follow along and make two recipes.
​Check out the Shopping List to get your supplies.

After you’ve fully floured your entire kitchen, that’s when things really get interesting!  Prepare to be dazzled like a tiny kitten witnessing her very first tree trimming.  You’ll carol with SongDivision, you’ll laugh, you’ll show off your cookies!  Just make sure the window shades are pulled down or else the neighbors will want in on some of this cookie flashing action!  

We'll also find out how different SPIN members celebrate the holidays during the segment, "ChristmaChanuKwanzaFestivus." Then, we’ll close our evening with a sweet (er...potentially mildly offensive) bedtime story.

Images of SPINCons past. Ahhhhhh, memories!

Moustaches, Yoga, Bingo, and Brain Candy!

Shake off that Sugar Cookie hangover and make the wintery trek down to your virtual technology of choice and join us for Day Two of SPINCon (December 2) where we will open our morning by ruffling those tail feathers and getting this party started (RRRRight!) 

We have a full AGENDA for you packed with all sorts of elfin goodness from morning smoothie making, 'SPED' Talks, Moustache Networking, body-positive yoga, AND OF COURSE ah-mazing brain candy from the best lineup of Keynote Speakers this side of the North Pole.  Geez Louise my virtual head is virtually spinning!

Wednesday night you WILL NOT want to miss our famous Pajama Bingo Party because we are going to be joined by a very special real live CELEBRITY!  Wear your holiday PJs, fun headwear, holiday sweaters...whatever puts you in a special Holiday Bingo kind of mood.

Did We Mention Goats at SPINConX?

By Shawna Suckow, Goat Fanatic
​
Grab your paintbrush and get ready for the most fun you can have in a virtual pasture of goats....it's almost time for GOAT PAINTING WITH BOB ROSS*!

That's right, folks, we have a very special guest artist who will introduce us to two very awesome goats (Craig and Carl,!) while leading us through a painting project...of a GOAT.

CAN YOU STAND IT??? I cannot. I must see and paint goats very soon, or I will lose my gruff (as in Billy Goats, get it?).

*Probably not the real Bob Ross cuz, well, you know.

How to Keep up with Rapid Event Design Changes

The rules for event design have changed rapidly this year and don’t show any signs of easing up. Flexibility is essential as now more than ever it may be necessary to reconfigure, revisit, and revise plans more than once to reach the perfect outcomes our clients envision.

​We use the primary goal of each unique event as our source of inspiration, and design to transform social behavior. Events designed for safe social distancing don’t have to jeopardize style or quality aesthetics – all it takes is a little imagination and creativity.
 
We have worked tirelessly and committed to developing unique new ways to allow our clients to connect while staying safe.

We started by leveraging pod seating as a smart and stylish way to maintain safe social distance within an intimate environment. To indicate flow of traffic, highlight entrances and exits, or even block off access to restricted areas, our divider walls can be placed vertically or horizontally making them beautiful and highly functional pieces for events.
 
We want clients to experience the traditional ceremony – evolved! 'Minimonies' and micro weddings are unique events that require spectacular beauty and safety down to the last detail, so we created breathtaking furniture packages designed specifically for mini ceremonies.

Virtual event planning and design is an extremely useful tool in the age of social distancing. Our partnership with 3D design platform All Seated allows is to collaborate with clients in real-time to quickly create socially distanced floorplan renderings from our complete catalog of event furniture pieces.

We take the utmost pride in our quality assurance measures and have taken steps to make them even more thorough, including utilizing advanced electrostatic sprayer technology to help disinfect and sanitize our event furniture pieces.
 
Events can be designed for safety first, while remaining stylish, impactful, and absolutely unforgettable. Imagination and creativity play a huge role, but flexibility is the true key.
 
AFR Furniture Rental provides ideal solutions for any trade show or event, delivering exceptional furniture and accessories from coast to coast. Immerse yourself in AFR’s versatile collections in styles ranging from traditional to ultra-modern. Our creativity and top-level service make us a go-to resource that event professionals consistently rely upon.
