Drive Your Corporate Marketing Event Into Full Swing

“Your Corporate Event Hosting Partners” — Pacific Domes Inc.

This time of year, golf tournaments and outdoor sporting events are in full swing! High on the list of event planning priorities is the importance of providing heavy-duty, luxurious outdoor shelters for VIPs and corporate guests. It doesn’t get any better than the geodesic domes from Pacific Domes of Southern Oregon. You can host corporate events and sponsored golf tournaments with style and substance. Your guests will appreciate these safe outdoor tent shelters when bad weather threatens to spoil an otherwise spectacular golf tournament.

Eco-friendly, portable geodome event tent shelters offer entertainment solutions beyond the ordinary by solving your top priority – creating immersive and interactive hubs for guests to gather. Geodome shelters have a surprisingly spacious interior and luxurious look that will attract and excite your corporate sponsors!

Here are two examples of successful golfing events that, using our portable event dome structures, made an immediate impact in corporate branding and immersion marketing:

AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am Tournament 2017

More than 60 years ago, Bing Crosby brought his Clambake to Pebble Beach and the annual event has since been memorialized by raising more than $100 million for Monterey Bay Charities. Best known for its amateur field celebrities, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am, draws talented PGA TOUR professionals from around the world.

This year’s Pebble Beach Pro-Am also features the new AT&T Fan Dome, housing a 360-degree projection of real-time tournament coverage. Overlooking holes 6-8 and the stunning Pebble Beach coastline, Triangle Plaza is the perfect spot to relax and grab a drink while keeping up with all of the golf action. With a giant image of top ranked Jordan Spieth emblazoned on the outer surface, it’s a must-see structure for any golf enthusiast and corporate event planner.

According to Jordan Spieth, “For the first time during any PGA TOUR event, AT&T is providing live 360-degree video of 2 select holes. This exclusive virtual reality broadcast is at the all-new AT&T FanDome and a handful of AT&T stores in the Monterey area. Find the Dome at the Triangle Plaza near holes 6, 7 and 8. Inside the new AT&T FanDome, you can find an amazing look back at our Journey – called ‘Jordan Spieth: The Course of Life.’ It’s a really cool look back on what we’ve been able to accomplish with AT&T so far. It’s just the beginning, as we’ve got much more to accomplish this year and those to come!”

Bay Area HQ got an exclusive look at the FanDome, and were intrigued by the technology and the immersive experiential experience.

While we got to check out the 4K broadcasting truck, and see the portable cell tower that will boost reception for thousands, we were most impressed by the special new fan experience – the AT&T FanDome, where all fans visiting the tournament can experience a new 360 video, Jordan Spieth: The Course of Life. Read further to see what makes the tournament tick from a technology standpoint and watch this first glimpse of the AT&T FanDome.

The AT&T FanDome – What we saw

  • First look at a new 360 video (think planetarium-style) of AT&T Athlete Jordan Spieth’s life and career – Jordan Spieth: The Course of Life
  • 360 live stream broadcast from holes such as 1, 7, 17, and 18.
    • This is the first time an experience of this nature is available at a PGATOUR event
  • It Can Wait VR Simulator
  • GPS interactive touch screen exploring table to track and follow favorite golfers
  • DIRECTV 4K Lounge
  • Where fans can watch the 4K broadcast of holes 7, 17 and 18

Nestled on the cliff edge, the dome withstood 50 mph gusts coming in off the bay with ease.

One of the most exciting events in the PGA TOUR, the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am brings over 190,000 spectators and millions of television viewers to take part in three of the Monterey Peninsula’s premier golf courses: Pebble Beach Golf Links, Spyglass Hill Golf Course, and Monterey Peninsula Country Club Shore Course.

Golf Simulator Dome in Poste de Flacq, Mauritius

Check out this idea that is sure to draw crowds to your spectacular event! Pacific Domes is proud to have built this geo-engineered Event Dome at Constance Belle Mare Plage for their corporate client, Silent Partners. Stationed on the lake alongside the 18th green, this 50ft geodesic event dome featured a suspended frame that houses an indoor golf simulator

The “Golf Ball” as they call it, is a massive air-conditioned dome that houses one of the largest and most sophisticated golf simulators created. And it was the first time such an advanced piece of equipment had been seen on Mauritius.

Guests could play on one of over 100 golf courses in a comfortable environment and without getting wet, losing a ball or burning excess energy negotiating steep climbs and sharp descents.

They could simply stand on the tee, select the club of their choice and hit the ball down a fairway that is displayed on a huge screen in front of them. Without taking so much as a step forward, the player was transported to the ball and the procedure is repeated until the ball finally drops into the cup. It could hardly be easier and an 18-hole game can be over in barely an hour.

The simulator could cater for all formats of play and could also be used for swing analysis, allowing professionals to coach amateur players and to hopefully improve their game.
