Total Event Resources Named PepsiCo Supplier of the Year 2011
SCHAUMBURG, Illinois (December 2011) — After three years of bold, successful and award-winning meetings for the National Fleet and Other Goods and Service Group at PepsiCo, Total Event Resources has been named PepsiCo’s Supplier of the Year. Nominated by several stakeholders within the PepsiCo organization, Total Event Resources has been credited as a “strategic partner” for the giant refreshment company.“What makes Total Event Resources so different and special,” says Dennis Selle of the PepsiCo Global Fleet Procurement Team, “is their pioneering implementation of a truly out-of-the-box approach to planning our meetings. It has been a key to our operational success in the past three years.”Every year, PepsiCo brings together 150 suppliers and 450 attendees for networking, learning and fun at their National Training Summit and Annual Tradeshow. The goal is to actively engage attendees while giving suppliers the opportunity to relay key points about their latest products, techniques and offerings. Total Event Resources has consistently developed a new theme and strategically aligned an “experiential engagement” activity that not only meets the client’s goals but thrills attendees as well. Both suppliers and attendees rave about the innovative interactive experiences, citing “greatest attendee participation ever,” “incredible energy” and “huge motivation.”· In 2009, Total Event Resources developed a baseball-themed event, “PepsiCo & Our Partners: Thinking, Working, Winning as One!” which included a “Batter Up!” game to engage attendees and encourage networking. Twelve client teams “walked off the field” with a solid understanding of the suppliers’ three key points that strategically supported that year’s marketing and sales efforts.· In 2010, Total Event Resources delivered a NASCAR-inspired program, “CRANK IT UP! Driven to Win with Leadership, Productivity and Determination,” which included the “PepsiCo Piston Cup” in which attendee teams raced to visit booths, earn miles for their team, and retain the most information about each supplier.· In 2011, Total Event Resources found a new way to “gamify” this national vendor expo by creating an electronic networking game, “Pepsiopoly!” modeled after a well-known family board game. The use of mobile networking devices that attendees could use to exchange business cards, download supplier literature and keep track of their scores was a new and exciting twist. At each booth, a simple swipe of the device over an RF tag registered the visitor and uploaded key information onto his or her device. After the show, attendees’ virtual briefcases were downloaded and an email link sent to each attendee."We are really excited and honored to be PepsiCo’s Supplier of the Year,” said Kathy Miller, president and owner of Total Event Resources. “Much of the credit goes back to PepsiCo - they gave us the freedom to stretch the boundaries and get creative, and working together, we’ve achieved something really special each year."In addition to being named PepsiCo Supplier of the Year for 2011, Total Event Resources was also awarded a N.I.C.E. Chicago Excellence Award for Best Corporate Event over $75K for the 2010 PepsiCo “CRANK IT UP!” event from the International Special Events Society (ISES).Total Event Resources was founded in 1995 to provide discerning clients with the tools and talent they need to create exceptional live events.
