Chinese New Year in 2019 starts on Tuesday, February 5th and ends on
January 24th, 2020.
The prospects of the year are favorable, especially in the professional life of the Pig natives. They can expect some positive developments even from the beginning of 2019. It is likely to receive more interesting and satisfying work tasks, followed by promotions or transfers.
Professionally, the Pig’s year is one of progress. Using their talents and experience, the Pig natives are going to make a good impression, due to which they will make a few steps forward.
At the same time, having an ingenious, sharp mind, capable of interesting ideas, the Pig natives are advised to use it. In 2019, the Pig natives could make full use of their two great qualities: the entrepreneurial spirit and the talent for making money.

RAIN FOREST WEEKENDS AT ROARING CAMP January 5 – March 31 (weekends only)
Learn about California’s own rain forest…its forests of coastal redwoods. Roaring Camp is offering weekend excursions of the Rain Forest by rail January 5 to March 31.
Located in the Santa Cruz Mountains just a few miles from the ocean, the forest flourishes in moderate temperatures and a year-round water supply provided by frequent Pacific systems and dense fog.
In winter, California’s rain forest is most dramatic. Storms whip branches; foliage glistens; and the air is filled with the aroma of California bay laurel and tanbark oak. As visitors ride at branch level through an old-growth forest by steam train, a guest narrator provides information about the rain forests and eco-systems of California coastal redwoods.
Rain Forest weekend trains operate Saturdays and Sundays at 12:30 pm from January 5 through March 31. Regular Redwood Forest trains depart Mondays-Fridays at 12:30 pm.
Roaring Camp is in Felton, six miles north of Santa Cruz. Exit State Route 17 at Mt. Hermon Road, left at Graham Hill Road, then ½ mile to the entrance. For information and tickets, call (831) 335-4484 or visit www.roaringcamp.com.

CAMPBELL’S HERITAGE THEATRE PRESENTS
CHERRY POPPIN’ DADDIES
Campbell’s historic Heritage Theatre rocks in the New Year with the third show of its six-show 2018-2019 Season. Get ready for a lively evening of music featuring a band known for its rebellious reputation. The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies perform on Saturday, January 26, 2019, at 8:00pm.
Over a 25-plus year period, the Cherry Poppin' Daddies have made it their mission to veer from genre to genre across the musical map, tempered and informed by an adherence to an older tradition grounded in Tin Pan Alley, Swing music, and the great American songbook. Powered by a prominent horn section, the evening features a musical journey through the band’s lengthy discography, from 1990’s Preciously Stoned to 1997’s Zoot Suit Riot to 2014’s Please Return The Evening, a salute to the music of the Rat Pack.
Cherry Poppin' Daddies has always prided itself on its craft and musicianship, superior skills that have allowed them to excel in whatever format they choose to tackle. While the “rebellious” image is indeed well deserved, the band’s ability to bend the boundaries has been simultaneously tempered and informed by an adherence to an older tradition.
According to the band's longtime leader, singer/songwriter Steve Perry, the Cherry Poppin' Daddies’ mantra has remained the same – "the obstacle is the path” – that is, to pursue unexpected and difficult avenues that challenge both themselves as artists and modern sensibilities, while at the same time adhering to standards and erstwhile traditions of American popular song.
Individual tickets are now on sale for $49 through the Box Office, or by phone at 408-866-2700. Tickets can also be purchased online at HeritageTheatre.org.

MPINCC ACE19: Your ACE Story
Mark your calendar for ACE on February 26, 2019. Register today to attend the premier west coast conference & expo for the meeting and events industry! Story and innovation will be front and center at ACE19. While we focused our re-imagination on the expo floor experience, we infused the conference with greater engagement and a desire to showcase all our stories. From our social media engagement, this registration site, through to the day of event experience, we hope you appreciate our re-imagined ACE19! Education is always an important and foundational element of ACE. Similar to previous years, ACE19’s morning is all about education, with engaging sessions on such diverse topics as: • State of the Industry • ADA: What’s F&B got to do with it? • In Case of Emergency: How Your Mobile Device Can Save Your Life • Lessons Learned: Experiences from the Group Sales Trenches • The Rise of Conversational Presenting • What Story do you Tell? • Inclusion: Beyond the Law for Meeting Professionals
We are partnering with sli.do this year as one of multiple tools we’re leveraging to infuse the education sessions with increased interactivity. Whether it’s an audience engagement tool, throw-able microphone, or alternative seating design, we want our attendees to be active participants in our education sessions. Looking to create the unexpected on a budget? We will be showcasing unique session seating options, leveraging standard venue furniture to inspire & engage.
This year’s General Session & Family-Style Lunch will feature Brent Bushnell, CEO and co-founder of Two Bit Circus, a Los Angeles-based experiential entertainment company (but don’t hold that LA bit against him, he’s a Bay Area native). Brent is an expert in the art of connection and experiential engagement. He is passionate about creating new ways to tell stories by capturing people’s hearts and minds with new technologies and using play and spectacle to inspire the next generation of inventors.
After lunch, we’ll explore our re-imagined expo floor featuring four neighborhoods, experiential activations, networking alley and our new Micro-Ed stage featuring bite-sized education presented by our landmark exhibitors and guest speakers via silent disco headsets. The expo floor will showcase the brand stories of our exhibitors with the creation of four neighborhoods – Outdoor Lifestyle, Downtown Chic, Wine & Dine, and Tech Playground – each with their own personality and unique engagement opportunities. Speaking of engagement, our app will include tips & hints on what engagement tools exhibitors will be leveraging so attendees can seek out those raffles, games and sweet treats & libations throughout the expo floor!
Ready to register? We have multiple registration options for planners this year. We have the full conference planner experience, the expo-only planner experience and a team planner experience, allowing MPINCC Member planners to bring along their planner colleagues at the member price.
