Challenge

ePlus Technology has been a happy, repeat client of BEST’s for two years in a row when they reached out to us once again. Previously they had done a charitable event, a game show, and two SmartHunts (BEST’s sister company). Now, ePlus Technology was interested in possibly doing two more events for its national sales conference in Chicago.

Erin, our point of contact, informed us that last year her group had loved the game show. This time they wanted to create another similar event where their 300 sales attendees could use “the knowledge they learned over the week of sessions and put it to the test with a custom game show.”

The other event that Erin had in mind was focused on the IT security vendors that would be attending and sponsoring the meeting. Her idea was similar to our Mystery of Da Vinci SmartHunt®, where participants partake in challenges to gather clues to crack the code of a Cryptex, which will unlock the final challenge. Erin was put in contact with our SmartHunts team so that they could discuss her ideas in greater detail.

BEST and SmartHunts both take pride in creating and customizing events to fit our customer needs, and this time was no different.

Solution

Erin and her team ended up deciding on our Game Show Feud. Together, through several conference calls and email discussions, we were able to create for them a flawless event. Erin provided us with eight rounds of 16 questions. She wanted them incorporated into their game. She also wanted to include other items, such as the same big screen they had for their previous event. She also wanted the same facilitator because he had done such a fantastic job the year before.

Program Details

A few months later, in the Hilton Chicago hotel, 300 people gathered together for an exciting Game Show Feud! After participating in a fun and energizing ice breaker, teams of 10 were created, and with our unique design, everyone was able to join in. Our audience response polling system gives each side the chance to answer multiple-choice trivia questions, allowing everyone to compete on the main stage. Our Game Show Feud has a real game show atmosphere – with a large answer board, buzzers, and all the sound effects for lockout, and correct and wrong answers.

    What is a Keynote Speaker?

    Keynote Speaker is an often-misunderstood term associated with simply a motivational speaker, breakout speaker, industry expert, etc. Most professional speakers are not actual trained Keynote Speakers, who are specialists, therefore in much lower supply, and in higher demand.

    Keynote Speakers are experienced, professional communicators who engage an audience, capturing the essence of a client’s meeting. They are able to highlight it to their audience while simultaneously delivering their own key concepts and proprietary content in an entertaining and impactful way. Most companies understand that this specialization is very much worth the time (around an hour) and the investment.

    In order to capture the perfect essence, a Keynote Speaker spends the necessary time researching a client’s industry, their issues, and their audience to craft a customized presentation into a unique and distinctive moment specifically for the client’s event.

    As a top Keynote Speaker, Tom Leu strategically uses compelling storytelling, humor, powerful visuals, audio and video clips, and audience participation elements to weave an impactful message into your event in a fun and memorable way. Tom can also pair his Keynote with Best Corporate Events programming, laying a foundation and setting a tone that best prepares participants for maximum engagement in the forthcoming team events that day.
