For the second year in a row, Impact Communications’ Meetings and Events team was selected to produce the annual national conference for Aspen Dental. The Impact team again created a first-class informative and motivational experience for an audience of over 800 Aspen dentists, hygienists, and office management teams from across the country.
In keeping with the spirit of the Summer Olympic Games, this year’s three-day meeting was fittingly themed Bring Your “A” Game. Held at the Turning Stone Resort in Verona, NY, the weekend-long event featured an Olympic- inspired “Parade of Champions” where Aspen regional representatives carried customized banners, and were given a hero’s welcome as they entered the ballroom. Additional ceremonial enhancements included the lighting of the Aspen Torch by the Senior Vice-President of Operations (wearing a “regulation” Olympic-style toga.)
Special guests and entertainers included motivational speaker and Olympic gold medalist, Jim Craig, goaltender from the1980 “Miracle on Ice” U.S. Hockey team; and the innovative DJ Ravi Drums, a high-energy percussionist/deejay. Perennial favorites, The Water Coolers, again provided customized corporate theatrical performances, expressly tailored for the Aspen audience.
Impact also produced the gala ASPY Award Ceremony that honored Aspen teams for their professional accomplishments and milestones over the past year.
Impact was responsible for overall show production and management, which included concept development, staging design and prop acquisition, as well as casting, scripting, technical direction, talent management, and creating speaker support graphics. Additionally, Impact wrote, shot and edited twelve video segments which were presented during the meeting’s opening module. The videos featured professional talent and Aspen employees, with shoots taking place in a studio, at Aspen Dental headquarters, and in several dental offices.
Aspen Dental Management’s goal, in partnership with its dentists, is to provide underserved members of local communities with access to high quality, affordable, and convenient dental care.
Impact developed another exciting and successful video production and awards luncheon for Nestle Professional and Minor’s.
The Chef Professionalism Awards is a luncheon, held during The American Culinary Federation’s Annual Convention, where individuals who excel and are the top in their field are recognized and rewarded.
Four top professional chefs, who are the regional winners of The Chef Professionalism Award, are the focus. Impact produces a biographical video tracing the history of each honoree’s culinary career featuring interview sound bites from each chef, as well as a professional voiceover narration, which tells each chef’s story. A jury of past winners selects and presents the new winner of the National Chef Professionalism award from the four regional winners.
The videos, which are shown at the luncheon, are motivational and inspiring, encouraging all attendees to be leaders in their field through performance, creativity, mentoring others, and remaining on the cutting edge of the culinary industry.
An industry leader known for high quality brands such as Hot-Pockets®, TRIO® and Stouffers®, Nestlé Professional offers customer-preferred brands, products, systems, and services to the food service industry.
