THINGS THAT ARE INSPIRING ME
ITC President Nicole Peck shares what's on her radar this month - from business to pop culture, branding to industry trends.
Each year at ITC, we organize programs and events that enable us to give back to the community and make a difference. I am pleased to share with you some of the initiatives for this year.
1. Say goodbye to single-use plastic water bottles and hello to eco-friendly hydration options. We are cutting down on plastic waste, thanks to our hydration sponsor, CAPE Analytics, who is underwriting hydration stations on the Expo Floor and reusable water bottles.
2. Get ready to paint! Professional artists will guide us in painting large scale murals that will be installed at a local medical facility/hospital and veteran’s center. It’s not just about brightening our event space – it’s about supporting a mission to uplift others.
3. Thanks to Glia and Invoice Cloud, Puppy Parks are back! Enjoy some downtime with adorable pups, and maybe even find a new furry family member. We partner with local animal shelters to make it happen. Let’s make it our mission to find each dog a new home.
