Business Theatre
This uncommon term originates in Britain and is used heavily as an industry buzz word that describes a specific type of business event. Business Theatre is a high-tech application of event production to razzle-dazzle dealers and high-end customers through very complex staging, lighting and sound systems. It employs an array of talent including actors, dancers and other types of performers. The Consumer Electronics and Automobile industry are known for their theatrical presentations built to persuade and influence buyers. Less commonly spelled business theater, but still used in the same context to illustrate a well-orchestrated and highly produced corporate event.
Dinner Shows
Specializing in creating an event around a meal. These are often very popular in urban areas where either weather, traffic, parking and other environmental factors make staying in one location for an extended period more comfortable and convenient. The offerings of talent can vary from opera, stage productions to musical variety. It's also possible to create a very custom program.
Local Talent
TeamNet is proud to offer many local artists easily accessed through our network of event planning and production specialists around the country. We cover the following regions:
Here are just a few of our favorite local entertainers:
For instance, in Chicago:
Jim Belushi & The Sacred Hearts Band, musical act
New Odyssey, musical group
Bob Higa, corporate magician
Show Bands
Events sometimes call for a theme where the musicians need to create an ambience for the evening. For these scenarios, we recommend a Show Band to act as the focal point for the dancing/music portion of the event. The styles can vary widely from whimsical, to very thematic such as Big Band Era, Latin Ensembles, Pop, Disco or 60's Beach Boys sounds.
Speakers & Emcees
For a more conservative or business meeting, various professionals can create interest, humor and keep a meeting on track through our speakers and emcees. A strong keynote speaker can draw attention and create energy around a meeting or conference.

They Said They Wanted Something “Different”
Have you ever had one of those situations where you simply had to find an absolutely unique and unusual Venue in which to host an event? Such is the situation with a client we have the privilege of hosting each year in Miami. Each time they visit, they ask that we find something completely new and different from what we have done in the past. Even in a place like Miami, this challenge becomes more daunting each successive year.
