Fourteen IP recently enjoyed a fun evening as Platinum Dinner sponsors at the International Hotel Technology Forum (IHTF) in Lisbon, Portugal.
Themed around the Mission Impossible movies the evening consisted of a buffet dinner and a light-hearted spy-themed quiz, compared by Motorola’s Paul Squires. With the help and sponsorship of Mitel, Otrum, Motorola and LG, the room was full of giant display screens showing the questions and movie clips.
Contestants (IHTF delegates) initially as teams had to answer hotel industry based questions, along with more general knowledge and movie clip questions in order to identify a winning team. Many of the answers strangely involved Fourteen IP’s occupancy based pricing and additional points were available for delegates that read the recent Kempinski Vienna case study and cracked a code to reveal a James Bond Movie.
Having identified the winning team, there was a hilarious tiebreaker event, which involved the team members being on stage and having a ‘pump-off’ with the winner being the first to explode their balloon with a hand pump.
The winner was awarded an LG Flat Screen TV, Blue Ray player and a Blue Ray box set of the Mission Impossible Quadrilogy. Runners up from the winning team received DVD box sets and there were further spot prizes of more LG Flat Screen TV’s.
A good time appeared to have been had by all. One of the key sponsors of the Fourteen IP event Mitel were represented by Propositions Marketing Manager Ian Bevington who said, “Fourteen IP’s spy themed quiz saw competing tables working together to answer wide ranging and challenging questions. Everybody had fun, especially the lucky winners!“
Organisers Arena International’s Forum and Awards Director Natasha Raynor commented saying, “IHTF 2013 was an extremely exciting event as we had lots of new technology suppliers attending. One to one meetings were taken and some great success stories are being reported back to me. One feedback form said as always a truly informative and interesting few days, I am looking forward to the new business relationships I will form. The second night Interactive evening held by Fourteen IP was so much fun. It was a new way to reach out to the hoteliers and really clever in the way they promoted the companies without a formal speech. We look forward to what the team has planned for 2014 in Spain.”
