SERVICES FOR EXPOSITIONS, CONVENTIONS, MEETINGS,
CORPORATE EVENTS AND TRADE SHOWS

Our team provides ideas, equipment and support for expositions, conventions, meetings, corporate events and tradeshows. We will design, produce, install and operate everything you need to insure an outstanding event. Our services include audio visual and computer rental equipment, staging, event logistics, video and data systems, as well as theatrical lighting and concert-style sound systems. With over one hundred years of cumulative experience within our office personnel, we know what it takes to make your event a success while giving you the peace of mind that it will be done with your unique requirements in mind.

For meeting professionals, who are challenged with providing a team-building event, the first question you need to answer is: what is the purpose of the team-building event?  In other words, what should people feel like afterward and what should they take away from the experience? When you answer this question, it helps you focus on only the types of team building activities that will help you achieve that goal.

 

TEAM BUILDING

If you have a very high energy, young sales group that wants a physical team competition that is pure fun, you would probably consider a team Olympic event.  However, if that same group is looking for something that will also provide an opportunity for group problem solving, you might consider a scavenger hunt.  If you were looking for ways to bring a new group together for the first time or help two teams to be more cooperative, you would be more inclined to provide an activity that encourages people to talk to each other and share skills, for example a team rock star event, a cooking class, or even a tai chi activity.  If you wanted a group of executives to work more closely together, you might consider a ropes course that increases trust and confidence.  If you were interested in focusing in on specific concepts like communication or customer service, you would be interested in a business simulation game (building bridges or a miniature golf course). Or, if you were interested in reinforcing meeting or company information, you might want to have a "game show" type of activity like Jeopardy!

 We have done all of the above team building events and more!  The sky is the limit when it comes to team building activities.

  • C & W Band (4 piece), ready for the boot scootin' boogie, or the Cotton-eyed Joe? If so put on your boots, your jeans and your hat and mosie on over to listen to some great country western music.

  • C & W/Crossover Band (4 piece), for those groups who think they are really cowboys and cowgirls but really don’t want straight country western all night long. Many fine groups are able to play George Strait, Clint Black, Reba MacIntyre, etc., but can also play Lionel Richie, Elvis and many others.

  • Variety Dance/Show Band, if you’re looking for some high-energy groups with talented singers, lights, costume changes, etc. they are available too. Able to play the latest rock, country and classic hits, plus all those tunes you remember and can’t name!
  • Ballet Folklorico/Mariachis, one hour show of Ballet Folklorico dancers performing folk dances of regions in Mexico. Includes cowboy emcee and trick roper. Also includes cameo performance by a local Tejano star.

  • Solo Musician, guitar, piano etc., excellent for receptions and small group dinners. Pianist must be provided with piano.

EVENT DECORATION

There is nothing better than seeing your guests walk into a room and hearing them say “Wow.”  Decor is the first impression of an event and can completely set the tone for the theme, mood or even the objective of the evening.  Decoration can transform a room into a customized theme or simply add a little touch to what’s already there.  Either way, décor is the best way to create atmosphere.  Beyond simple props, linens and centerpieces, we can provide appropriate lighting elements and show productions to enhance the ambience of the chosen room.  Taking it a step further, we will provide all of your audiovisual, staging, backdrop and dimensional stage decoration needs.  This allows for a seamless transition between the production stage and the rest of the room décor.  Experts on the facilities located in San Antonio, we can offer decoration appropriate to the facility and to your objectives.  Allow us take the worry out of event decoration and at the same time, make you look good!
