Tropical Welcome Event for 700 People

Monday, July 19th, 2010

On Sunday July 18, Showtime Events was hired to provide all of the décor for 700 people arriving for the AFLA Insurance Conference. The special Welcome Event covered two massive ballrooms at the Sandestin Hilton Resort location in Destin, FL.  The decor consisted of a tropical theme and including giant tiki heads, oversized palm trees, fully functional tiki hut bars (and DJ booth), speciatly print stretched spandex and lighting throughout both rooms.

In addition 17 live performers were stationed throughout the ballrooms and pre function areas to entertain the guests and their families during.  Showtime Events produced the entire event on Sunday night and was hired to do the exact same program again 2 days later for the next group of 700 arriving attendees!

Welcome Mike Merritt to our Florida office! mmerrittfacefl

Mike comes to us from the restaurant industry, bringing varied management skills and a great understanding of hospitality’s every aspect!  He loves new challenges and likes the opportunity to work on many different business dimensions at once.  Event management’s ever-changing and entertaining nature  appealed to Mike’s fluid personality.

Mike is a longtime Pensacola, FL resident.  He is very interested in media, especially reading and listening to music.   He also enjoys Charles Dickens, but The Great Gatsby is one of his favorite books.  The Beatles have heavily influenced Mike’s music interests.  He looks forward to attending a David Gray concert in Philadelphia this Fall and recently took his son to a FooFighters concert.  One of his favorite bands is Death Cab for Cutie.  Definitely someone to talk to about a new band.

Mike will be working at our Santa Rosa Beach office and will be directly involved in producing great events with the Showtime Events team!
