A Special Event with Carson Kressley

Paragon Events was thrilled to be a part of a very special MPI luncheon with Emmy-winning television star, celebrity stylist, author and fashion designer Carson Kressley! 

The event was on March 11th at 11:00am. at the A La Carte Event Pavilion in Tampa, starting with a VIP reception mix & mingle with Mr. Kressley and followed by a lunch program until 1:30pm.

Kressley burst on the scene as one of the stars of the hit Emmy award winning series Queer Eye For The Straight Guy, where his sharp wit and undeniable sense of style resonated with audiences internationally. 

At the podium, Kressley’s impact as a fashion guru transcends style tips and fashion trends. His signature “wit with a heart” approach inspires audiences to embrace their individuality and look inward without fear. With a deep understanding of self-image issues and an empathetic approach to building confidence, Kressley’s enlightening perspective resonates with men and women alike. His charming wit and positive outlook offers insight into how to become a better person, from the inside out.

Paragon Events offered our coordination and planning support as the MPI South Florida chapter administator.

Guest Blog: Paragon Intern Ana at the MPI SFL Experience!

Guest Blog: Paragon Intern Ana at the MPI SFL Experience!

Paragon Evens allowed me to participate in the MPI SFL Experience event this past Tuesday, March 19, 2013.  This was my first time working on site at an event, and it was an exciting experience. From the people to all of the amenities, the event was remarkable. I was not only offered to work at the event, but also have a little fun; the speaker for the first quarter of the event, the education event, had the audience participating and working with each other to get to know different strategies in how to be positive and create great customer service. During this event, people had the chance to get to know each other and learn from different stories, while still having fun. Later, those that wanted to participate in the special event had the chance to indulge themselves in delicious food, great music, and entertainment; all right on the football field!  There were smiles and laughter on every corner, guests were very content with the event.
