Hot Dishes Served Up by Michael Cerbelli’s: The Hot List™!

Join us for an ILEA family gathering!

There's no denying this year's misfortune and we know you're missing hugs and handshakes from your ILEA friends and family. So, we enter this holiday season with one goal: uniting event professionals from coast to coast for an evening of entertainment and enjoyment.

Michael Cerbelli’s: The Hot List™ is an incredible live show that is a "can’t miss" annual event in and of itself. Now he is bringing his 2020 presentation of the hottest, newest, and most inspiring event and entertainment insights to the virtual stage!

This captivating show will highlight both engaging virtual experiences and some of the hot ideas from the show's 19th anniversary, earlier this year. After the show, stick around for a friendly nightcap (BYOB) in a few rounds of networking sessions.

With the generosity of Cerbelli Creative and EideCom, we're able to ask for your donation in exchange for participating in this event! Each ticket to this virtual event has an estimated value of $50. We appreciate your support.

Donations

Twenty percent of all donations will be given to the SEARCH Foundation during this season of thankfulness.

The SEARCH Foundation is a 501(c)3 that was formed in 1997 to assist event, meetings and catering professionals faced with a life-threatening illness. Since that time, it has expanded to include not only illness, but also catastrophic occurrences.

"Crisis" means many things to many people. Your entire neighborhood washed away in a flood, being ravaged by wildfires, or lost in a tornado. Doctor visits coming back with the dreaded words, "It's COVID" or "You have cancer." A car accident that leaves you impaired or hospitalized for an extended period of time. SEARCH is for our industry, by our industry. Special Event Assistance, Relief & Crisis Help.

Remaining proceeds from the event will be equally used towards each ILEA chapter's mission of ensuring a thriving and creative global events community. Donate at registration checkout.

What's family without a little friendly competition? The SD and NY chapters want to know which coast is the best coast. Vote with your donation during registration checkout or Venmo @ileanyc (written text &/or emoji answers welcome) to determine the favorite! ... Is it the sunny Southern California coast or the sweeping skyline of Manhattan? Your donation will determine who is more beloved! The winning chapter president must send their city's signature food item to the loser to post on social media.

About Michael Cerbelli's: The Hot List™

“Michael Cerbelli’s: The Hot List™” is the definition of inspiration. It exists to provide not only the urge, but the ability to accomplish creative greatness.

This incredible presentation has become a ‘can’t miss’ annual event in and of itself. In “The Hot List™,” Michael takes the hottest, newest and most inspiring event and entertainment insights and showcases them for the producers in a breathtaking 90 minute, head-spinning romp. A word of advice; have your espresso ‘on board’ and don’t blink, you might miss something!

With “The Hot List™,” Michael identifies fresh trends in the ever-changing marketplace and showcases acts and innovations for enhanced experiential marketing. “Michael Cerbelli’s: The Hot List™” is more than an education in the direction of event production, it is Michael’s way of giving back to the industry which has given him so much.

It’s been said that how ‘The Hot List™’ goes, so goes the industry. Michael himself has even become ‘the event within the event,’ posing for pictures with fans even as he orchestrates the magnificent happening.

Michael’s secret? He loves what he does, and he loves to see others succeed. Michael never needs to be the life of the party; his dream is to bring life to your party.

About Cerbelli Creative

The name ‘Cerbelli’ has become synonymous with the finest events in the world. From New York to New Delhi and from St. Petersburg to Santa Barbara, Cerbelli Creative is more than an industry leader, they have become an icon; the go-to producer for (among others) Billy Joel, Robert DeNiro and Sir Paul McCartney.

The key to the success of Cerbelli Creative is its namesake; Michael Cerbelli.

Michael knows the secret to producing extraordinary events: An event doesn't have to be large to be ‘big.’ It doesn't have to be extravagant to be ‘rich’ and it doesn't have to be over the top to ‘raise the roof.’

Neither number of guests nor the price-point of an event define its success. Real greatness comes in the significance of the event to the event hosts, in the value it represents and the memories it creates. Michael Cerbelli enjoys the same challenge and rewards creating an intimate function for a special few as he does in producing a multi-million-dollar event for hundreds.

Cerbelli Creative is a dream factory, and their dreams are your dreams. If you can imagine it, Cerbelli Creative can exceed it. The satisfaction derived by Michael and the team at Cerbelli Creative comes from the wonder in your eyes at sights never seen before, the excitement of a moment never before dreamed, and beauty never before witnessed.

With Cerbelli Creative, ‘extraordinary’ is never an ‘intangible;’ it is always an ever-present reality, simply waiting to be released by you.
