The 2021 NACEYs celebrated the Richmond event community with a “wow” hybrid event that was financially profitable and assisted in legitimizing the NACE Richmond brand beyond the membership while setting the stage for future successful NACEYs events! This event consisted of two main components - a pick-up party and a virtual broadcast. To give attendees the opportunity to safely see each other for a brief amount of time, the NACEYs committee created an outdoor pick-up party that took place 3 hours before the live stream awards presentation. The virtual broadcast streamed live from Paisley & Jade, allowed guests to tune in from the comfort of their own couches! The NACEYs program was able to exceed its goals and set the stage for future successful NACEYs events.
