Guild Con 2026

 WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!

 GUILDCON 2026

One thing I have always believed is that you never stop learning.

After more than 16 years of creating events, decorating, entertaining, and growing Let’s Plan A Party, I still get excited when I have the opportunity to learn something NEW — and GuildCon 2026 definitely delivered!

I spent several incredible days surrounded by amazingly talented balloon artists and event professionals from across the country. We learned, created, shared ideas, tried new techniques, made connections, and pushed ourselves creatively.

And THAT is why I attend events like GuildCon.

I don’t go just to look at beautiful balloons.

I go to LEARN.

I go to GROW.

I go to be inspired.

I go to challenge myself.

And I go so I can bring new ideas, techniques, designs, and experiences back to our clients at Let’s Plan A Party.

 New techniques

 New design ideas

 New inspiration

 New skills

 New industry connections

 And LOTS of ideas that I can’t wait to put into action!

One of my favorite things about this industry is that there is ALWAYS something else to learn. Trends change. Techniques evolve. Products improve. And creativity has no finish line.

After 16 years, I’m still learning — and I hope I never stop.

So Tampa Bay… GET READY!

I’m coming home from GuildCon 2026 inspired, recharged, and ready to CREATE!

Some exciting things are coming to Let’s Plan A Party, and I can’t wait for you to see what we’ve been working on.

Creating memories. Creating experiences. And always finding new ways to take the stress out of your next event.

Stay tuned… because I’ve got LOTS of ideas!
