The Annual CPEX Smart Growth Summit was a joy to help create!🌲 The Manship Theatre was filled with guests from all around so we wanted to make sure we showed some good ol’ Louisiana love, culture and hospitality! 🖼️ We thought it would be cool to include some local favs in the mix, including some groovy local artists including @tjblacktheartist painting attendee’s auras- cool, right!? And @keithcartoonmandouglas drawing caricatures! Guests were so happy to take home these cool unique pieces after the Summit! 🎼 Local sound flavor provided by the dynamic and always jawdropping @quianalynell and a trip down da bayou was given by @copo_fosho with some creole folklore and a French serenade with a fiddle! We also had @theladydeejay for the reception spinning some rhythm and blues and then our own DJ Sunday with rheumatoid arthritis back-beat sounds for PechaKucha with that firecracker mistress of ceremonies @schwibbity 💥⚡️🔥🎻 🥪 More local favs included delicious bites by @mjscafe, @mestizojim, @anthonysitaliandelibr, @counterspacebr @magpie_cafe & Bonnano’s!We are feeling grateful to be a part of this wonderful event and look forward to working with this lovely group again in the future! #louisiana #louisianaevent #cpexgrowthsummit #cpex #manshiptheatre #batonrouge #brla #redcake #redcakevent #redcakevents #downtownBR

Vendor highlight
Our FEATURED VENDOR this week is…..drumroll please…
Olinde Event Rentals
🤝 I’ve been working with Olinde’s for over 20 years now! Nobody can build a tent city like these guys.. on hills, over pools, and over ponds in the woods, and even during a hurricane… they always do their job and do it right!
It’s been a pleasure working with a team that is so good at what they do….So good that even when Doug Olinde sold the company, the team remained on as it evolved into Olinde Event Rentals.
Thank you Olinde’s for always answering my call, for bringing me walls for the tent in the 11th hr during a storm… adding lights to my cook tent… picking up an event at 1am… lending me your staff to help get us all out faster… you’ve shown up for my company for decades and we love all of you!!
Here’s to many more FAB events together- 🥂
Marcus, Chad, John, My sweet Monique… and even Ty (teddy bear)- We love YOU ALL! ❤️

Happy International Women’s Day!!!
Happy International Women’s Day!!
🥳We celebrated by attending
10,000 Women Louisiana’s 2024 Legislative Luncheon!!
💪🏼And Y’all ..We Got Work To Do!!! Thank you to all of the informative and inspirational women who fired us up today!
Knowledge is Power! Today we learned what we can do to move women forward and not backward in Louisiana.
My favorite quote of the day was by Melissa Flournoy, whose Mama always said… “While you are here, do as much as you can, for as many as you can, for as long as you can!”
If not YOU then who?
