M
eetings and events enkindled with patriotism,
antiquity, entertain-
ment, American history or pure unadulter- ated fun are generally successful and exceptionally memorable. Attendees return to work with renewed energy and a zest for putting plans into place. Perhaps you’re ready for a novel location guaranteed to arouse the group’s ingenuity and company spirit? Here are a few ideas.
It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s the Chairman of the Board! With apologies to the creators of the television version of Superman, this tweaked phrase could be cried out at a meeting mounted at Geppi’s Entertainment Museum (GEM), adjacent to Camden Yards in Baltimore.
Founded by pop culture devotee Stephen A. Geppi, GEM brings back the joy of child- hood when it was easy to plunge into excit- ing projects and adventures with gusto. This kind of unbridled drive is what plan- ners hope for when booking GEM.
The 17,000-square foot facility represents a tribute to treasured personalities, toys and products of times gone by. From action comic heroes to the British invasion of rock stars, movie icon Mickey Mouse to TV’s Howdy Doody,
newspaper’s first
comic characters to advertising symbols and spokes models, this truly is a spot to capture attention and spark action.
The Please Touch Museum in Philadelphia, PA has numerous one-of-a-kind spaces that can be transformed from fun and casual to formal and elegant.
Geppi’s main gallery holds up to 400 guests for cocktails and conversation, while the private third-floor gallery is an ideal sit- down dinner choice for up to 80 people. There is a list of six preferred caterers to contact for any type of menu. Tour guides can be hired to help participants thrill to being in an extraordinary time machine as they migrate from room to room.
