According to SPESA President Benton Gardner, “The SPESA VIP Networking Event has become one of the most enjoyable and rewarding functions in our industry. Expanding on a very successful 2012 event with more than 450 attendees, this year’s event is designed to be bigger and better in every way. By popular demand, we will also be returning to the magical Georgia Aquarium venue this year. We invite the industry to come and take part in a fabulous evening.”
