Being Cassey's leaving party, there certainly will be some interesting people at the leaving party.

Would you only accept the former example?

Thanks

I don't like either one of them -- "being" is awkward and does not refer back (or forward) to the subject of the main clause as it should. (As in "Being somewhat pedantic by nature, I am always correcting people.")

"Since it's Cassey's going-away party, ther will certainly be some interesting people there."
