Bringing Industry Education Closer to Home

Something people may not realize is that every SFEA seminar is built around the host community. That means attendees not only learn from the sessions themselves, but also get the chance to experience different venues, downtowns, attractions, and event spaces throughout the Southeast.

Each seminar has its own personality based on the destination, giving attendees fresh ideas and inspiration they can take back to their own events and communities.

🎉 Upcoming SFEA Seminars 🎉

Get ready to connect, learn and bring back fresh ideas for your events. We’ve got two great seminars coming up and we can’t wait to see you there!

📍 Chamblee, GA • August 13

Known for its incredible international food scene, Chamblee is the perfect place to gather, share ideas and spark creativity.

🎶 Kingsport , TN • September 2

With deep roots in music and Appalachian culture, Kingsport brings the perfect backdrop for conversations around community events and entertainment.

Attendance is free for all members and there is a small fee for non-members. Registration details coming soon!

Special thanks to our seminar sponsors, the City of Chamblee and Visit Kingsport, for helping make these educational opportunities possible.
