Puppy Lounge

Orlando-based A Cause 4 Paws Rescue brought out a bevy of wobbly pups to fill the Puppy Lounge. Event and meeting professionals could pop into the white-picket fenced in area built out by Stetson Convention Services between education sessions and networking to play with the puppies, which were also available for adoption.

Mystery Tattoos and Fortunes

At Champagne Experiential Studios' booth, attendees chose the "naughty" or "nice" side of the artful vertical tunnel shown here, then put their arm in to receive a mystery temporary tattoo. On the back wall of the activation, guests received a fortune by poking their hand into the red curtain beneath a sign that read "Make a Date with Destiny."
