Event Transportation Ideas

May 21, 2014
Most guests that attended the fashion show heeded Dior's advice to take one of several chartered ferries that left every 10 minutes from the East River pier at 35th Street directly to the Navy Yard. On board, champagne was served and even all the seats were individually wrapped in Dior cloth with the fashion house's name embroidered on the headrests. Following the show, the same ferries shuttled guests back to Manhattan for dinner and an after-party.

H.I.M.S.S. Conference & Exhibition

The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society provides trolley service—in the form of an extra-long golf cart—to transport attendees from one end to another down the main aisle of its show floor. For this year’s event at the Orange County Convention Center in February, organizers estimated the one-way distance was nearly a mile, with six trolley stops along the way. In addition to providing a service for attendees, the concept also was a sponsorship opportunity: organizers sold signage space on both the trollies and at the stops. The 2014 conference was the association’s largest to date with nearly 39,000 attendees.
