Cuvee certainly fits this description. It’s a great setting for a holiday party. For people that have never been there, I’m sure they’ll never forget it.”

The event will include live music from the “Keith Sarnow Trio,” lessons on mixing tasty holiday drinks, raffles and a champagne toast.

The event will also serve as a Toys For Tots drop off location. Attendees that bring a new toy to the MKELive holiday gala will be entered into a special drawing for tickets to the Bucks, Admirals and Wave games.

(MILWAUKEE, WI) It’s time for a soccer celebration.

On November 2nd, Information Technology Professionals (ITP) will join MKELive in celebrating “The Wave Has Been Saved!” during LinkedIn Live-Milwaukee at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Wauwatosa.

“It’s an honor for us to help launch the newest season of America’s longest-running professional soccer franchise,” said Katie Felten, president MKE Live. “LinkedIn Live-Milwaukee is a great group to help the Wave kick-off their 2009-2010 season.”

Some Milwaukee Wave players and front office personnel will attend the November LinkedIn Live-Milwaukee event, and speak to the audience regarding the team’s upcoming season, new league and new management. Wave merchandise and other items will also be raffled off during the event.

In addition to McGuirk’s presentation, Great Lakes Distillery – Wisconsin’s first distillery since prohibition – will provide a free tour of its facility and free tastings of its award-winning spirits. For more information on Great Lakes Distillery, visit www.greatlakesdistillery.com.

MKELive Provides Favre-Free Networking!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

No one will mention “that” guy when
MKELive introduces its new website

(MILWAUKEE, WI) Enough already.

On September 14th, MKELive will introduce its new website during the fall’s first LinkedIn-Milwaukee event at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Wauwatosa.

The event will also be considered a “Favre-free zone,” in reference to minimizing or eliminating redundant conversation about the waffling, media-manipulating, attention-hogging, former Green Bay Packers quaterback.

“We’re really looking forward to introducing the new mkelive.com and explaining how it is such an improved networking and training tool,” said Katie Felten, managing partner and president of MKE Live. “The ‘Favre-free Zone’ is just for fun. Although, people might have to find another subject to begin their networking conversations – like Aaron Rodgers.”

Felten is featured in LinkedWorking: Generating Success On the World’s Largest Professional Networking Website. She is recognized throughout the state as a leading trainer in LinkedIn. She is frequently asked to speak to professional organizations about LinkedIn and social networking media, and has been quoted in media throughout the state. Since April, more than 2,000 people have attended MKELive’s LinkedIn training and networking events.

While admission to all LinkedIn-Milwaukee events is normally $10, attendees wearing Packers-gear (e.g., hats, shirts, accessories, socks, etc.) to this September’s event will be admitted for free.

LinkedIn-Milwaukee will be held on Monday, September 14th from 5:30-8:30 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Wauwatosa (located at 10499 Innovation Drive, Wauwatosa, WI 53226). Networkers are encouraged to pre-register at www.mkelive.com/calendar .
