As a top professional in the industry, you strive to have the most unique, edgy, over-the-top and exciting entertainment ideas. As the creative director for Englewood, N.J.-based Total Entertainment, Cerbelli travels the world helping to produce events from Canada to Switzerland. He is your connection to brand new ideas, and he’ll throw them at you at such a pace that you’ll have to dive for cover. These ideas come from companies and entertainers from around the world—each one fresh, unique, and ready for your next event.

Join Michael Cerbelli for his fast-paced, highly visual, sight and sound extravaganza of Hot (and NEW) Event and Entertainment Ideas for 2005! A list of each idea and company contact information will be provided. This is a must-see presentation.
