Memorable Meetings & Inspiring Events - InterContinental Tampa "Insider Collection"
InterContinental Tampa’s Meetings are designed to capture a genuine sense of place that will inspire delegates and get results. Our experienced team understands the demands on your time as a busy event planner and is focused on making sure that the process runs seamlessly at every stage. Whatever the event, our team is here to make life easier for you and to create a rewarding occasion for those attending.
Our “Insider Collection” will allow you to benefit from our hotel’s unrivalled local knowledge. These experiences are tailored to any event or meeting, ensuring that it delivers results and creates an experience to remember. We have listed below the five key experiences we can create to enhance your meeting.
INSIDER LOCATION:
Insider Locations gives you an opportunity to base some of your event away from the hotel. We offer exclusive access to a variety of venues and experiences in Tampa, allowing delegates to experience a side of Tampa rarely seen. A few notable Tampa locations we suggest are: The Florida Aquarium, Tampa History Museum, Big Cat Rescue and The Museum of Science and Industry.
INSIDER SPEAKERS:
A well-chosen speaker can bring your event to life and really inspire your delegates. Insider Speakers range from celebrities and cultural experts to sporting heroes, and all have a Tampa connection. We suggest FOR THE LOVE OF WINE – a local wine expert will present an informative discussion about vintages, aging and tastings. This interactive class will discuss history, service and appropriate wines to serve with specific food dishes. We also suggest having a member of our concierge team speak with attendees and share the treasurers of Tampa. Whether you have an hour, a day or a week allow us to share our personal favorites so that you can experience the city like a native.
INSIDER COMMUNITY:
Insider Community events allow delegates to make a positive difference in the community. It could be anything from painting a mural at a local school to preparing lunch in a homeless shelter. We suggest POINTS OF LIGHT & HANDS ON NETWORK – inspires and mobilizes people to become engaged, take action and solve community problems. Volunteer Tampa Bay offers several different ways for volunteers to get involved. Hands on Tampa Bay is a perfect way to connect with the Tampa community.
INSIDER INTERACTIONS:
We offer a range of team-building experiences which can be based on-site or in the area. They are an original way to engage and motivate delegates while giving them a chance to interact with their destination. We suggest ZUMBA -combines high energy and motivating Latin music with unique moves and combinations that allow Zumba participants to dance away their stresses of the day. Zumba is not only great for the body, but is also great for the mind.
INSIDER BREAKS:
With Insider Breaks, a few minutes out of a busy day can become a whole experience in itself. It could be talk from our concierge on local sights or a live cooking station hosted by our chef and showcasing some of Tampa’s local recipes. We suggest our break, TASTE OF TAMPA – enjoy all that is Tampa through a menu rich in Cuban Cuisine. A member of our culinary team will be available to share recipes and discuss the Latin influenced culture while guests enjoy the subtle music of the Spanish guitar.
InterContinental Tampa is centrally located in the heart of Tampa Bay, just minutes from Tampa International Airport and downtown.
