This year ISES EventWorld was held in a very HOT St. Louis on August 4-6. We managed to be there right in the nations heat wave!
I wanted to tell you specifically about the event at The City Museum. This is a spot for both adults and children. Although most people probably view this as a child’s play land, I really see it as a place for adults to imagine and PLAY!
I never saw so many people walk out of an event with smiles on there faces, not smiles because they net a few nice people, smiles because they not only connected with people in a regular event networking kind of way, but they EXPLORED, IMAGINED, CLIMBED, SLID and SHARED experiences with their colleagues.
The City Museum’s website is just OK compared to the AMAZING EXPERIENCE it provides!
Built in a 600,000 sq’ former warehouse of the International Shoe Company, this Museum combines recycled architectural and industrial product and refuse AND wonderful, original Sculptures and sculptural form all under the watch of internationally acclaimed artist Bob Cassilly.
What a GREAT place to get adults to PLAY! If EVENTS and EVENT PROFFESSIONALS employed some of these techniques we may all have a lot more SMILES!
Take a look at the great fun space and if you are in St. Louis I encourage you to visit The City Museum!

That was an amazing experience!!! Tragically, Bob casually was killed on sight at his latest project Cementville when the bobcat he was driving overturned last week. What a huge lose to the the artistic community. The City Museum will remain a true testimont to a true genius . Since returning home I have told anyone,who would stand still long enough to listen, about this remarkable experience. It is one I intend to have again.
