GENEVA REPORT > WISCONSIN WONDERLAND (continued from page 24) MIDWEST HALL OF FAME INDUCTEES Edsell Byrd Corydon Cinemas Mort Fink F & F Management Stanley McCullough Falls Theatre Don Perkins Marcus Theatres 2010 GENEVA CONVENTION AWARD WINNERS BEN MARCUS AWARD Paul J. Rogers LARRY D. HANSON AWARD Tim Warner STUDIO OF THE YEAR Lionsgate VENDOR OF THE YEAR C. Cretors & Company BOXOFFICE BLUE RIBBON AWARD Paramount Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen BOXOFFICE GAME CHANGER AWARD 20th Century Fox Avatar CHEERS! Co-Chairman John Scaletta with Paramount’s Monique Flores and BOXOFFICE Publisher Peter Cane people roll up their sleeves and get to work. This year was no different, as Wednesday was bursting at the seams with content. For the second year in a row, the Geneva Convention was proud to offer two of the wildly popular Disney Institute Seminars: Approach to Inspiring Creativity and Approach to People Management. After the first, Inspiring Creativity, attendees left feeling optimistic that they had learned a thing or two about promoting divergent thinking among their employees. Next, two Exhibitor Relations seminars showcased upcoming releases and Tony Shalhoub—Wisconsin native and star of underground hit Feed the Fish (also made in Wisconsin)—accepted the “Spirit of Wisconsin Award.” Best known for his portrayal of a quirky police detective on TV’s Monk, Shalhoub gave a gracious and charming acceptance speech. The afternoon sessions began with the Boxoffice Conference, a provocative panel discussion on the topic, “Digital Cinema for Any Size Market.” Leading installers and independent owners alike hashed out installation, upkeep and operations. Following the panel, most attendees found their way to the trade show floor where approximately 85 vendors showed off their latest products. An open bar contributed a special kind of charm to the floor. The Wednesday night Gala Awards Dinner was kicked off with NATO President John Fithian’s encouraging words about the staying power of exhibition. Little did we know that this dinner would become one of the more memorable of the year as Marcus President Bruce Olson presented charitable donations totaling $275,443 to six statewide hospitals for assistance in setting up neonatal intensive care divisions. It was truly a magical moment in the ballroom to see a gift that would save a baby’s life. After that moving donation came a moving tribute as a speechless Paul Rogers received the Ben Marcus Award for his decades of outstanding service to exhibition. Everyone who has met Paul agrees that no finer choice could have been made, and he accepted our applause with his usual equanimity and selflessness. For a full list of award winners and Hall of Fame recipients, please see the sidebar. After a Wednesday evening screening of RED, attendees slept well and started the final day with a warm breakfast on the trade show floor and the second Disney Institute Seminar, People Management. Following the Midwest Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony at lunch, the convention took a final bow and the curtain closed. We’re proud that we can describe the 2010 Geneva Convention as informative, entertaining and intimate. To all our wonderful sponsors and vendors, we could not give our fellow exhibitors this level of experience without you, and so we thank you. Don’t forget to mark your calendars! Tuesday, September 20 to Thursday, September 23, 2011. Where Hollywood meets the Heartland, we will always do our best to make you feel welcomed! 26 BOXOFFICE DECEMBER 2010
