Experiencing red-hot lava flowing into the sea.. hot lava stone massages.. fire eaters dancing and reliving the ancient island traditions.. swimming with wild dolphins.. driving the little white ball over a cliff to an island green.. surfing the break into a white sandy beach, dining on fresh opakapaka caught earlier that day as the sun sets - these and many more adventures await you on the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. Hawaii.. has it all.. incredible accommodations, dining, shopping, touring, recreation and weather, and best of all, the Goddess Pele has left her mark!!

All of the Hawaiian islands are beautiful; however, the Big Island is very unique and offers a "raw" beauty of different landscapes, much of it lava and some still active that is largely undeveloped and ready to be explored. Sparsely populated, Hawaii is an incredible destination to "get away from it all" and still enjoy outstanding resort amenities.

SPG recently visited the Hilton Waikoloa Village, the Mauna Lani Bay Resort, the Fairmont Orchid and the Four Seasons Resort.. all of which offer wonderful amenities for your incentive programs and meeting events.

At the recent Super Bowl in Detroit, SPG managed a client incentive event. Hosting over 35 of our client's key customers and executives, SPG coordinated an exciting weekend program despite the cold weather.

We hosted group dinners for our client all weekend at some of the top Detroit-area restaurants. On Saturday night SPG secured three-time Super Bowl Champion from the Dallas Cowboys and current Fox Sports analyst, Daryl Johnston, as a speaker for the group.

Afternoon activities included a visit to the Henry Ford Museum and Ford Rouge Factory, considered by many to be America's greatest history attraction. On Game day, after brunch at the hotel, it was time to head to the stadium. First stop was a tailgate party across the street from Ford Field, where Motown Legend Martha Reeves wow'd the crowd. Then it was time for the big game. The group watched the Pittsburgh Steelers win their fifth Super Bowl title from excellent seats at Ford Field.

The end result... an unforgettable experience that their customers will never forget.

Though it seems like the Super Bowl just ended, it is not too early to begin thinking about next year's game in South Florida. Miami will host the Super Bowl for the ninth time on February 4, 2007. Summit Performance Group can take your group right to the action.
