A MACRO EVENT FOR MICROSOFT IN NYC



Envy-Create and its teams of event professionals, including Anthony Bollotta, is designing and producing a completely customized three day event rolling out Microsoft’s 2009 product lineup for the holiday season at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City on October 6th.

A day-long press event will include a keynote by MS President of Entertainment & Devices, Robbie Bach, as well as product demos, one-on-one interviews with MS execs, libations and other surprises.

HELP YOUR EMPLOYEES RETAIN INFO WITH CUSTOM SKITS

Bollotta Entertainment will be scripting, casting, directing, and producing a parody skit for the San Diego Convention and Visitors Bureau entitled “10 Stupid Things We Do to Mess Up a Site Inspection.”

The parody skit will address the issues of an unprofessional site inspection in a comical manner and will be performed September 16th at the Natural History Museum in front of member venues, hotels, and DMC’s who might be involved in a site inspection.

The intent of the skit is to educate, encourage consistency, and serve as a springboard to further explore and improve the site inspection process, and thus increase the conversion rate of meetings in San Diego.

A 45 to 60-minute clean comedy dinner show with emcee, CHRISTIAN SPICER, MAL HALL and KURT SWANN, brings an evening of unmitigated laughter through their fresh commentaries of today’s society and current affairs.

With so much experience at their disposal, each and every performance can be customized to meet the needs of any audience and event.

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Apollo 11's lunar landing, the USS Midway Museum in association with the San Diego Air & Space Museum presented Race To The Moon, A Celebration With Space Legends aboard the flight deck of the USS Midway on Saturday, Sept 5th. The evening featured the Third Marine Aircraft Wing Band, 8 young vocalists from Leigh Scarritt Productions, and NASA’s newest Administrator Charlie Bolden.

Bollotta was tapped to produce and direct the dramatic ceremony, which honored 10 Astronauts from the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo Mission, who during the 1960’s brought the US to the moon.

CUSO: CORPORATE GENERAL SESSIONS MADE SIMPLE

Bollotta Entertainment completed production for CUSO Financial Services’ annual meeting for the 8th consecutive year. Presented at the Manchester Grand Hyatt right here in sunny San Diego, the 3-day meeting was composed of 5 General Sessions featuring employee awards, production awards, keynote speakers, and various presentations.

Bollotta Entertainment was tasked, as they are every year, with providing the scripting of all the general sessions, as well as the flow and outlines for the events, the music, the stage direction and management, and all of the technical management as well.

Working with CFS’s Senior VP of Marketing, Steve Hollenbeck, as well as with an executive committee, which oversees all conference planning Bollotta Entertainment has developed a comprehensive understanding of how financial meetings must run in order to remain effective and compliant.

MICHAEL IS MPI MODERATOR

Michael McGuire was appointed Chair to the CSR Committee (Corporate Social Responsibility) for the San Diego Chapter of MPI for 2008-2009. In late November, he worked with the Educational Committee to put together a program on CSR including what questions to ask in planning green meetings and combining an event with community outreach.

In a “talk show” format, Michael moderated a panel of 5 industry experts, including the MPI Headquarters Director of Corporate Responsibility, that covered topics like green-washing, green meetings standards, using charitable outreaches as teambuilding and networking opportunities at conferences, water conservation, remaining profitable in planning green events, food composting, recycling, carbon footprints and offsets, and what questions to ask suppliers in planning a green meeting. The program was combined with a blanket and towel drive for the Veteran’s Village of San Diego (VVSD), which provides transitional living for veteran’s of all wars, and support services for those who served.

There were over 110 planners and suppliers in attendance. This meeting was planned with green in mind (no hand-outs), and it was the first in the history of MPI to be put into a Podcast for members who could not attend.

Since being appointed to this position, Michael is also part of a monthly global conference call of other CSR’s (UK, Canada, and US) that discusses ideas, concepts, and initiatives that support eco-friendly and socially responsible meetings on a global basis.

ANTHONY IS TSE AMBASSADOR AND PRODUCING TALENT CABARET

In January, The Special Event descended upon San Diego. As Ambassador to the trade show and conference, Anthony maintained a very visible presence during the show, which included a welcome on behalf of the city of San Diego at the general session and the presentation of 4 Gala Awards with co-Ambassador, Tracey Brenneman (formerly of PRA San Diego). In addition, Anthony helped general session/Gala Award producer, Anthony Welsh, with MPG, by scripting and directing both events. Bollotta Entertainment also sponsored general session speaker, Rich Wilkins, who lightened the mood of economy-rattled attendees by showing them how to remain positive in a down economy.

Ugly Betty Look-A-Like For Your Mode Inspired Event

If you have watched the hit ABC comedy, Ugly Betty, you already know that the main reason for its success is the sweet, intelligent, hard-working and fashion-challenged character of Betty Suarez. That same loveable character can now also be part of your event with Bollotta Entertainment’s exclusive look-a-like “Betty.” Her uncanny resemblance will certainly turn heads, and her impersonation of the lovable character is spot on. In fact, she went along with our Bollotta staff on their holiday visits to many of our local clients. The end result? Everyone swore it was the star herself! Let Ugly Betty add the same spark to your next event, as she does to the halls of MODE.
