Empire Produces Several Nights of Headline Entertainment in Puerto Rico for Global Beverage Company
San Juan, Puerto Rico
March 2000
When an international beverage & food company sought to convene their global management of many divisions in Puerto Rico for four days of business meetings, activities and entertainment, they turned to Empire Entertainment to manage the complex series of events, the wide variety of talent and the issues of producing meetings & performances in Puerto Rico.The conferences were ably managed by Kaleidoscope Productions but the entertainment which included performances by Harry Belafonte, Jon Secada and Celia Cruz with the José Alberto Orchestra were managed by Empire Entertainment.
The Harry Belafonte and Jon Secada shows were staged at the Hyatt regency Cerromar Beach but the focus of the engagement was an event staged outdoors in Old San Juan in a the Quartel de Bellaja, a colonial era building featuring a large indoor courtyard.For this engagement, Empire worked closely with the client, the caterer, the designers and a variety of production vendors and talent to deliver a seamless event with state of the art sound, lighting and staging in the unpredictable outdoor weather of Puerto Rico.Empire brought in massive staging, fully self-sufficient electrical power systems, a lighting system that included a huge number of instruments to light the historic architecture of the courtyard, state of the art sound that served the needs of both the CEO who addressed the audience and the series of bands who led the international guests in dancing late into the night.
