#eventprofs serving the "M" in the #SMERF #meetings and #events market often look to utilize sites and venues that resonate with those affiliated to the military. The historic @battleshipmissouri in #honolulu is often the site of choice for groups that visit #hawaii. Settings above deck as well as below, in addition to spacious pier using the #battleship as a backdrop are available for groups of varying sizes.

The surrounding region has an abundance of natural beauty, is rich in #history, and is  home to a broad array of facilities with wide open spaces, all within hours of #NYC. Groups may choose to extend their stays to take advantage of nearby #FingerLakes and #NewYork State #Parks that provide opportunities for #hiking, #biking, #fishing & #boating. Currently, the region is particularly ideal to avoid quarantine restrictions for in-state #meeting & #event planning as well as when post-#COVID19 planning resumes.

We sure didn’t expect to find it in a #StatenIsland corporate office complex. The #sculpture is one of many #art works on the properties of the #Nicotra Group, whose holdings include @nicotrasballroom, a premier site for #meetings and #events for #eventprofs whose groups @visitstatenisland.
On that note, the staff of #FandDmag extend sincere comgratulations to our former editorial intern Aryeh Korn on his marriage this week.
