Welcome to the International Special Events Society (ISES) Austin Chapter website.

We consider your visit to our site a valuable opportunity to tell you about our organization. As you explore the site you will gain a sense of our purpose, our wide-ranging capabilities, and our accomplishments, all of which we are extremely proud.

Our growth is attributable to a well-thought-out strategy of exceptional member service and diversification. As a result, we've been able to respond with greater opportunities to provide member solutions including mentoring, branding, education, professionalism, ethics and networking. Through our members, we are able to offer potential clients an exceptional resource for special events goods and services. If not yet a member, and ready to take your special events career and professionalism to the next level, join ISES Austin.

ISES offers a world recognized Certified Special Events Professional (CSEP) professional certification that requires experience, education in all disciplines of special events, a commitment to the events industry, adherance to the highest ethical standards, passing a rigerous written exam, and special approval by an international panel of subject matter experts. Event professionals with the CSEP certification offer distinct advantages to clients, including evidence of due diligence.

Each of our chapter’s meetings and events is planned and professionally managed to accomplish specific defined goals, objectives, and benefits that each of our valued members and guests can take away at the end of the function. We are creating an international events industry presence in the markets we've traditionally served, and at the same time creating synergistic opportunities for education and development in areas with new cutting-edge special event trends.

Our success is a result of continuing efforts to improve efficiency and productivity through the application of the latest special events technologies, the integration of business success plans for members, and the adoption of changes to our chapter’s procedures and processes that have increased value while reducing costs. The strength of our organization is based on the exceptional quality of outstanding members and leaders, the involvement of so many wonderful students, a reputation for delivering quality over-the-top events and educational opportunities that exceed member-client expectations, and on our international network of special events professionals.

If you are a client seeking the very best special events solutions, contact ISES Austin members for all your special events needs.
