As usual, BizBash was a big hit, full of exciting new event trends! If you missed it, here are some key moments, as told by Twitter. Walking into the California Market Center, the first thing you see is a huge balloon arch with not one, but TWO, balloonicorns! (or balloonzillas, depending on your preference for naming balloon creatures), by [Balloonzilla](http://www.balloonzilla.com). ![Screen Shot 2017-07-24 at 1.55.15 PM.png](https://blog.swellfundraising.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%201.55.15%20PM.png?width=1024&name=Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%201.55.15%20PM.png) Meanwhile, upstairs the Event Innovation Forum stage was getting underway with a performance by Good Company! ![Screen Shot 2017-07-24 at 1.53.13 PM.png](https://blog.swellfundraising.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%201.53.13%20PM.png?width=911&height=358&name=Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%201.53.13%20PM.png) We then took a lap around some of the exhibit booths, and the range of services offered was amazing! From [custom pinatas](https://www.pinatas.com)... ![Screen Shot 2017-07-24 at 12.06.43 PM.png](https://blog.swellfundraising.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%2012.06.43%20PM.png?width=911&height=439&name=Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%2012.06.43%20PM.png) to gorgeous floral table settings by [Bloom Babes](http://www.bloombabes.com), ![Screen Shot 2017-07-24 at 12.18.40 PM.png](https://blog.swellfundraising.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%2012.18.40%20PM.png?width=911&height=413&name=Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%2012.18.40%20PM.png) we saw it all! After that, we stopped by a workshop to learn more about event marketing. ![Screen Shot 2017-07-24 at 1.55.48 PM.png](https://blog.swellfundraising.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%201.55.48%20PM.png?width=936&height=324&name=Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%201.55.48%20PM.png) Of course then we needed something sweet to wrap up the day from [Glo Cone](http://glocone.com/shop/)! ![Screen Shot 2017-07-24 at 12.22.57 PM.png](https://blog.swellfundraising.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%2012.22.57%20PM.png?width=936&height=358&name=Screen%20Shot%202017-07-24%20at%2012.22.57%20PM.png) Now we are getting excited about our third and final BizBash Live of the year: New York!
