Bonaventure Resort & Spa Partners with Koncept Events
July 3, 2014
The newly renovated Bonaventure Resort & Spa, a Benchmark Resort located in Weston near Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is partnering with Koncept Events to create customized, interactive experiences that range from a high-tech scavenger hunt to an airboat ride through the Florida Everglades.
“What is trending today is different from even five years ago,” says Hillary Smith, CMP, CSEP, partner at Koncept Events. “Meeting planners and management demand productive, relevant and innovative teambuilding platforms. We must evolve with our attendees in order to capture their attention and get the results that the organization is investing in and counting on,” Smith asserts. Koncept Events at Bonaventure Resort & Spa achieves this by incorporating smartphones and iPads, and playing off current plots in news, movies and TV. “With all the clutter we see on social media and the Internet, we need to continuously raise the bar with new concepts that seize and sustain the attention of our overstimulated attendees.”
With 500 guest rooms, 80,000 sf of indoor and outdoor conference space, a golf course and four swimming pools, as well as an acclaimed spa and fitness center, Bonaventure Resort & Spa is the ideal venue to facilitate productive meeting programs.
The spacious resort grounds are suitable for team competitions, cooking contests, games and slot car racing. Golf carts and bicycles can be used for everything from scavenger hunts and competitions to tours of the Everglades. The Bonaventure is set at the edge of these wetlands, which provide exceptional resources to the resort that include special spa treatments, also available to meeting guests, which utilize plants and botanicals similar to those found in the Everglades.
Bonaventure Resort & Spa provides a highly convenient and efficient one-stop shopping experience where planners can negotiate with the resort and purchase an entire per-person meeting package, which covers accommodations, meals, conference space, conference concierge support, basic technology — as well as teambuilding through their partner Koncept Events. Through this unique relationship, Bonaventure Resort & Spa helps clients achieve their goals, objectives and overall vision — doing so on budget.
