Case Study

CHALLENGE
Twelve hundred customers from around the world were attending a technology related User's Conference in San Francisco. Our client desired a fresh alternative to the standard reception & networking experience as a Conference celebration. Guests would be attending seminars and meetings all day long - so action and excitement was high on the list of goals for this event.

SOLUTION
We achieved the corporate goals with the interactive experience of a custom carnival designed specifically to thrill and amuse this group. The Festival Pavilion at Fort Mason provided the indoor setting for our attractions and authentic midway games. Bumper Cars, a Fun House, the Tilt-A-Whirl, and Sizzler were rides to be enjoyed by all. Authentic midway carnival games of skill provided challenges to our guests.. A stage was built to showcase the live entertainment. A small army of face painters, stilters, balloon artists, psychics and magicians strolled and engaged the crowd. Genuine concession trailers hosted authentic fair food including: BBQ ribs, turkey and chicken, pasta and pizza, fried mushrooms, artichoke hearts and corn on the cob. Dining tables dressed with colorful linens and floral centerpieces were scattered throughout along with the premium bars offering beverages of choice. With the smell of cotton candy and popcorn in the air, the calls of the hawkers along the carnival midway and thousands of colored lights beckoning; exhilaration was the motif of the night.

RESULT
Our client was an instant hero and the guests were all amazed! More than one attendee asked when the carnival would open the next day so they could come back for more fun. The look on their faces was priceless when we answered that it was built just for their one night special event. It was much easier for everyone to settle into their meetings the next day with the buzz of their event still vivid in the minds of all.
