With the ever popular reality television and the huge following of game shows out there in prime time television, it only stands to reason that a convention would benefit from the same type of excitement, hype and fun.  I’m talking about The Ultimate Game Show founded by Bryan Quinn.  Bryan Quinn  and his company are located in  Sacramento, California and they cater to all types of conventions, trade shows, corporate retreats and conferences across the country.  They have worked with a small groups of as many as 25 people up to huge conferences or trade shows and even Fortune 500 companies.  They inspire groups to be a part of your convention or trade show and make it an experience to remember.   The biggest inspiration to me is when he says they can help give away lots cash!

Bryan Quinn, pictured right,  has been doing game shows for conventions, trade shows and even corporate meetings for a number of years now and has literally hundreds of events under his belt.  Bryan provided this information about his company and himself:

They have presented game shows in twenty states and now have equipment stored in strategic locations across the U.S., allowing them to access any city within a 14 hour drive. They have game show productions that range from very small to TV-studio quality, and offer game formats inspired by popular TV game shows as well as completely original games. The founder and President Bryan Quinn has been performing and organizing corporate events for more than 20 years, as a Disc Jockey, team-building facilitator and for the past 8 years as a game show host. He is one of the most experienced corporate game show hosts available, but for clients looking for celebrity talent, The Ultimate Game Show also works with a variety of TV game show hosts and comedians. The Ultimate Game Show has helped its clients create award winning booths and become the most popular place on the trade show floor. Their games can be used as a high-energy method to give away promotional items, but more importantly to highlight the benefits and features of their products and services.

Earlier this year, a second division of the company has come to fruition and they call it “The Ultimate Audience Response”.

Ultimate Audience Response, which offers clients the greatest return on their meeting investment through total audience participation. Their audience response services allow every attendee to participate by responding to questions utilizing a wireless keypad. The results are then displayed instantly in a variety of graphic formats that are easy to understand. In addition to the benefits of a game show, Ultimate Audience Response?s clients can also gather attendee contact and demographic information as well as conducting market research.

The service provided by Bryan and his group is meant to enhance the experience of attendees to your trade show, or convention.  As I said above they can handle any size group and can provide all the necessary equipment.  Bryan and I joked about the fact that they could provide as little as a small podium for a speaker to the 18′ x 18′ Tic Tac Toe stage setup as pictured on their site.   They have even filmed the event for companies that want to use the show later.   Being a bit pessimistic about the cost of such a service I asked Bryan about what it would cost to provide such a service and I was very shocked at how affordable this service was and what they provide. 

Bryan said that they not only do the convention scene but they are also very busy during the holiday months doing holiday parties and corporate, non-public gatherings.   Bryan Quinn and his group has appeared all over the country including, many events in the California area, Las Vegas, Orlando, Chicago and other venues.  He stated that they can handle your plans from start to finish with as little hassle as possible.  Something that any event planner can be thankful to have.

When talking to Bryan for some reason I couldn’t get Richard Dawson out of my head and I told him about my problem.  He said that is normal and even indicated that his company works with many comics and retired game show hosts and can provide a variety of choices for your event.  Thanks for talking to us here at Convention Insider Bryan, I really enjoyed learning about your business.

I was there for a wedding of a worker and friend of my wife.  I didn’t know anyone and didn’t know if it was possible to have fun since I had left my golf clubs at home and I had nothing on the agenda that I could possibly see that was going to entertain me over the two days we intended to be having “fun” at the wedding.  The thing is, I had a wonderful time, and I think the reason was, we were at a resort. 

The resort we had gone to was the Daufuskie Island Resort and Breathe Spa on Daufuskie Island near Hilton Head and Savannah, Georgia.  It was amazing.  We had to arrive on the island via a water taxi or ferry(we got to see dolphins, or maybe they were porpoises), and were given a golf cart to to tour the island and see its amenities.  I was able to walk on the golf course, the beach, and check out the community.  I’m somewhat of a history buff, and was able to actually learn something from a golf pro about the history of Bloody Point, not just a cool sounding name of a place on the island, but also the name of the golf course where I was visiting that day. Let’s just say that the name wasn’t good news for the Indians that resided there in the 1700’s.  I was thinking Daufuskie Island would be a very cool place for a corporate retreat.  This lifted from their site about planning your next meeting:

Help your group escape its daily routine - to an environment where everyone can unwind and let creativity and ideas flow. At Daufuskie Island Resort & Breathe Spa, you can select from an impressive array of South Carolina meeting facilities - from intimate boardrooms to lavish outdoor venues. From the moment your group boards one of our yachts and cruises from Hilton Head Island - past some of the most beautiful scenery in the Southeast - distractions and stress seem to fade away. Large groups can literally take over the resort. Smaller groups can find the privacy they need to get their work done, yet enjoy the perfect environment for relaxation and recreation.

In case you thought I was making this up, I have proof and I’m standing on the 18th green, holding the flag!

If you are planning a corporate retreat or want to impress your next meeting attendees, try a resort.  Every town and every metropolitan city has a nearby resort, except maybe Cleveland.  Sorry Cleveland, I know you have the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, and how cool would it be to have a corporate retreat there?
