Certified Special Events Professional

Searching for that WOW moment for that next event? Fireworks and pyrotechnics certainly fulfill that requirement, but how safe are they? Paige Mejia, FPO, is the co-owner and Chief Marketing Officer for the oldest Texas-based professional firework company, Pyrotex.

During this session, you will learn the questions to ask your chosen firework company when hiring them and the various effects that are available for your event.
