dings to corporate meetings. Being immersed in the aquatic world is a uni- versal draw.”
The aquarium, which entices nearly 1.3 million annual visitors,is chosen by plan- ners for about 130 events each year. Corporate groups often include a scav- enger hunt as a way to enhance team building. Evening soirees held under- neath a giant jellyfish sculpture delight guests.
Weaver works with event and party plan- ners to bring their objectives to life.“Our team’s logistical expertise and execution paired with a planner’s careful attention to the client’s desires is a perfect tag team effort,”she points out.
“Whether it’s daily visitors, conservation- minded clients or social event attendees, our goal is to wow every guest,”Weaver adds. “Each event has its own aquatic flair.We are happy to work with groups of five or all the way up to 3,000. Planners may choose among our Dolphin Building, the Main Aquarium Building, or they can meet in a tent on the grounds.Our most popular spots are the Harbor Overlook and Harbor View Room.”
Another oft chosen site for events and meetings is the Chemical Heritage Foundation (CHF) in Philadelphia. Founded in 1982 as the Center for the History of Chemistry, it was renamed 10 years later to better reflect its interdisci- plinary nature and widening scope of programs and activities.
CHF explores the interaction of engi- neering, technology and industry with science. Its goal is to reveal the evolution of science and technology and present its cultural place and crucial importance for the future. Those fascinated by breakthroughs and innovations in sci- ence - and the people who made them happen - will find CHF to be an excellent meeting venue.
“We offer many choices for meetings and events,” remarks Lou Marrocco,CMP,
