Innovative Variety Talent For An International Incentive Awards Dinner

Purchase, NY

May 2009

Each year, one of the world's top food and beverage companies flies its highest sales achievers and their spouses from around the world to its New York headquarters to celebrate their achievement and recognize their accomplishments.The trip includes sightseeing, business programs and an evening at Ellis Island. The highlight of the annual trip is the awards dinner, held inside a state-of-the-art tent built temporarily on the grounds of the corporate headquarters. And for the past several years, this company has consistently turned to Empire Entertainment to deliver a program of interstitial performances and post-awards ceremony entertainment.

This year, Empire was charged with creating a program of entertainment that translated over the multinational attendees that were present and that could segue naturally into a night of dancing and celebration.Empire presented the modern circus ensemble Cirque Dreams to perform a series of dynamic segments that inspired and entertained the audience. Performances included a father and sons diabolo juggling trio, a shape-shifting act, a low-slack wire balancing performance and an acrobatic duo on a Risley seat.The Eturnity Band, New York City's best R&B, Funk & Motown dance band, kept the audience dancing until the end of the night.

Empire Entertainment is the leading producer of talent and performers for corporate events.
