Saying Farewell to Winter Interns, Welcoming Summer Interns

We are all at once sad, proud, and excited to see our winter interns depart and our new summer interns settle into the office!

We kissed goodbye our four fabulous winter interns Jennifer, Laura, Genevieve and Kirsten and thanked them for the hard work they put into the last several months. We hope their experience with us was one that will launch them even further into their events & hospitality careers.

Genevieve will also continue working with us for an extended leg of her internship. Laura is heading into higher education at Lynn University in Boca Raton. Watch for updates as Kirsten continues into the hospitality industry!

Experiencing Bodrum, Turkey!

We are the Kempinski Hotel Barbaros Bay in Bodrum Turkey for the HP IO Accelerator Beach Club 2014 hosted by Fusion-io and HP.

Paragon Events is managing this event in partnership with Worldview Travel. It is an incentive event and the winners of the incentive are bringing their spouses. It is a very remote and intimate hotel with a gorgeous view and perfect weather year round. Turkish people are extremely friendly but they want to know everything about you!

We are using Akustik Destination Management Company as a local partner who is helping with the transportation, AV, entertainment, printing, photographer, dinner venues, etc.They have been incredible to work with!







Paragon Events specializes in corporate incentive services as well as destination management services. Paragon Events is globally recognized as a premier incentive travel planner for companies worldwide.  We offer full service destination management tailored to the particular needs of your business and employees.  

Our goal is to enhance your guests’ experience wherever your vision might take you, whether within the U.S., on the sandy beaches of the Caribbean, in the rolling vineyards of Italy, or any destination you can dream of. Paragon Events will make your visions come alive while promoting your corporate image and enhancing your employee satisfaction, loyalty and motivation. It has been proven that employee motivation sky-rockets with the possibility of recognition and rewards like an incentive trip.

According to a PNC Bank Corp. survey, knowledgeable and attentive employees account for 80% of the reasons consumers feel satisfied. A Forum Corporation study shows that 70% of unhappy customers abandon vendors because of poor service, and according to the Loyalty Effect by Frederick Reichheld, a simple 5% increase in customer retention can increase lifetime profits from a customer by 75%.
