A Look Back to 2010

With less than 30 days left in 2010, I stop and take a moment to reflect back on what has turned out to be a great year for Infinity Events.  A year that has yielded some amazing clients, programs, travel to far away lands and alliances with remarkably talented event and meeting professionals.

All of which has led to ending my year with a nomination as a finalist for an Event Solutions Spotlight Award for Event Producer of The Year.  As they say, the nomination alone is an honor however I would be less than truthful if I didn't say it would be a thrill to win.  Therefore, please take a moment to log on and vote using the link that is provided at the end of this post.

In the meantime however, below are a few of our events and developments that have taken place throughout the year that have led to this point.

ULTIMATE WAVE TAHITI 3D MOVIE PREMIERE

FINALIST BID COMPANY FOR AMWAY CHINA GALA IN ANAHEIM
We were elated to be invited to bid on the massively large incentive program for Amway China consisting of 15,000 attendees over the course of one month.  Out of approximately 25 companies worldwide that had been asked to bid, Infinity Events was the number 2 company however ultimately losing the bid.  The experience was still a once in a lifetime opportunity as we traveled to Shanghai and pushed to limits of creativity and innovation both in design and entertainment in our bid which allowed us to challenge ourselves.
