1. Super Star Concerts

Staging an event with top name recording artists, or “Las Vegas-type” headline acts will certainly impress both your clients and your own employees. Eagles Talent Connection will help you produce a Super Star event that is sure to become a lasting memory.

2. Full-Scale Industrial Extravaganzas

Eagles Talent Connection works closely with several excellent freelance corporate show directors. Together, we will produce and stage a theatrical extravaganza to highlight your product, service, or special event. We will design, build and install the set, write the script, score the music, hire actors, singers and dancers, and deliver a self contained, standing ovation production. Allow Eagles Talent Connection to submit a proposal for your next Industrial Show.

3. Grand Opening & Closing Programs

A strong opening and a memorable closing will go a long way towards creating a successful event. Your opening should set the mood and tone for the rest of your conference. Your closing should send your attendees off feeling up and positive. Specialized entertainment is an excellent way to start and end your events. This can be accomplished a number of ways: high-energy music (both live and taped), marching bands, lively dancers, acrobats, a magic spectacle, or, numerous other variety acts. Lightshows, pyrotechnics, and customized videos are also very effective. For your closing, a good audience participation act will help to recap your conferences theme and reenergize your group before sending them on their way.

4. After-Dinner Performances

A great after-dinner performance can turn a good meal into a fabulously memorable evening. There are numerous excellent self-contained acts that always score big. A few examples are: Musical groups, comedians, humorists, satirists, impressionists, improvisational troupes, Mystery Murder Night casts, mentalists, hypnotists, and other specialty attractions that always do well as an after-dinner program.

5. Awards/Banquet Shows

To add a bit of fun and to liven up your awards banquet proceedings consider bringing in (a) a professional comedian to MC the event, (b) an entertainer, magician, juggler, ventriloquist, etc. to entertain in-between every five or so recipients, (c) the cheerleaders from the local professional sports team to take the awards to the recipients instead of having them come up on stage, (d) provide a dance band after the award. There are many ideas that can turn an otherwise lengthy and tedious event into a fun happening. Speak with an Eagles Talent Connection program consultant for suggestions.

6. Dance Music/Spectaculars

Dance bands come in all shapes and sizes, from a tight “four-piece ensemble” to those with dancers in costumes, laser lights, and pyrotechnics. Eagles Talent Connection can even provide you with the exact same bands that play at celebrity weddings. A good dance band can make a big difference in creating a fun evening for your attendees.

7. Outdoor Picnic Activities

There are several excellent entertainment groups who have ideal programs for an outdoor or picnic event. Some of these are: an Olympic type sporting event utilizing fun games, a laugh provoking Simon-Sez contest, an audience participating hypnosis show, team building games, treasure hunts, and much more.

8. Fun Learning Experiences

There are several excellent entertainers who incorporate an educational message in their programs. Give your audience a break from the content-laden seminars by booking someone who can entertain and educate at the same time. (See “Combo Programs” in this section).

9. Entertaining Product introductions

Introducing a product in an entertaining yet dignified way gives the new product special stature. There are several fun ways to do this. Ask your Eagles Talent Connection program consultant for ideas. We’ll help you launch your new product into the stratosphere.

10. Entertaining Trade Show Demonstrations

The success of a trade show exhibit is judged by both how many people visited your booth, and more importantly, by how many people take away the valuable information about your product and service. There are several entertainers who specialize in trade show booth demonstrations. These entertainers will customize a presentation so as to highlight your product and service. They know how to get and keep a crowd. More importantly, they know how to get your message out while being thoroughly entertaining.

Other ideas to generate excitement at an exhibit booth is to hire a sports celebrity or soap star to meet and greet. Celebrity impersonators and presidential look-alikes also are good for drawing a crowd. Based on your product and the kind of exhibit space you have, the experts at Eagles Talent Connection will recommend the appropriate attraction.
