See how they can help take your next Orlando meeting to new heights!
Branded-Character Moments
Universal Orlando’s many characters can make for an unforgettable meeting experience. "Imagine attending a meeting where Optimus Prime introduces the keynote speaker, or the fun-loving Minions make an appearance during lunch for photos and meet-and-greets," says Eric Marshall, vice president of park sales at Universal Orlando Resort.
These and other branded characters will engage with meeting attendees and help increase engagement in numerous ways, including meet-and-greets, meeting openers, speaker introductions, meeting interrupters, event excitement-builders, ice breakers, pre- and post-communications, and more.
Inspirational Themes & Atmospheres
Meeting planners can also bring elements of Universal Orlando Resort's signature events straight to attendees by securing specialty acts and performers, such as stilt walkers or Mardi Gras entertainers. Planners may also take event theming to the next level by using special theme park personalities such as an adventure guide, sports broadcaster or movie director. All of these characters will help deliver key meeting messages through skits or performances designed for a specific event or topic.
For additional inspiration, planners can arrange for a customized indoor event or a reception under the stars using the resort’s collective 97,000 square feet of outdoor space. Meetings of all sizes can be accommodated at The Loews Meeting Complex, which connects the meeting space of Loews Sapphire Falls Resort and Loews Royal Pacific Resort.
Creating the Ultimate Meeting Experience
Today’s successful meeting planner takes more than the event’s location into consideration — they find new ways to actively engage their groups. By capitalizing on the unique offerings of the meeting destination, brainstorming big ideas and developing a personalized experience package, you can transform attendees into active participants for a meeting or conference that provides both education and entertainment.
