ORLANDO (May 13, 2019) — Runway to Hope, Central Florida’s largest and premier charity event, is excited to announce Daymond John, Lindsay Arnold, and Joey Fatone as the celebrity co-hosts for The Adam Michael Rosen Foundation Presents Runway to Hope’s 2019 Spring Soirée.

Shark Tank star, Daymond John, has come a long way from taking out a $100,000 mortgage on his mother’s house and moving his operation into the basement. John is CEO and Founder of FUBU, a much-celebrated global lifestyle brand, and a pioneer in the fashion industry with over $6 billion in product sales. He is an award-winning entrepreneur, author of four best-selling books, and has received over 35 awards. John is celebrating his 10th season on ABC’s four-time Emmy winning show, Shark Tank, where he demonstrates his marketing prowess and entrepreneurial insights with millions of viewers each week.

Dancing with the Stars champion, Lindsay Arnold, began dancing at the age of four, when her mom began searching for a hobby she would ultimately enjoy. Her first television debut began on season nine of FOX’s So You Think You Can Dance, which led to her current professional dancer role on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars. Along with Hamilton sensation, Jordan Fisher, Lindsay won Season 25 of Dancing with the Stars, having also placed 4th, 3rd, and 2nd in other seasons.

Joining them will be Runway to Hope veteran and hometown favorite, Joey Fatone. Fatone first rose to fame when he joined the record-shattering boy band *NSYNC and has since become a prominent personality in his own right, with projects spanning TV, film, and theatre. He danced into our hearts with a successful stint competing on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars with Kym Johnson; has become a popular game show host and a fan favorite in films including On the Line, My Big Fat Greek Wedding and more. Additionally, Fatone has been a hit onstage in both off-and on-Broadway productions.

The true stars of the evening though are the 165 cancer warriors affected by pediatric cancer who are escorted on the runway, hand-in-hand, by local and national celebrities. This year, The Adam Michael Rosen Foundation, formed in honor of Adam Rosen, son of Trisha Rosen and Orlando philanthropist and hotelier Harris Rosen, will be the presenting sponsor for the event. Unfortunately, Adam passed away last November after a battle with a rare type of brain cancer.

Runway to Hope is honored to have been recognized 14 times in its nine-year existence as Central Florida’s Best Charity Event.

The Adam Michael Rosen Presents Runway to Hope’s 2019 Spring Soirée takes place Saturday, May 18, 2019 at Rosen Shingle Creek. Tickets and sponsorships are available at runwaytohope.org.

Alexa Becomes Rosen Hotels & Resorts’ Newest Meeting Planning Tool

Rosen Hotels & Resorts harnesses the power of the Amazon Echo Devices to aid meeting planners

For more information, contact:
Robert Hubler
407-639-4212, rhubler@RosenHotels.com

ORLANDO (April 11, 2019) – Rosen Hotels & Resorts’ staff is well known for providing on-the-spot answers to meeting planners’ questions; but now, they are harnessing the power of Alexa to take it to a new level – another example of the Rosen Difference®. The Ask Rosen skill for Amazon Alexa is now live and it is skyrocketing Rosen’s award-winning customer-response time to immediate. Meeting planners can enable the Ask Rosen skill on their Amazon Echo device and then simply say, “Alexa, Ask Rosen…” to access all the information they need about Rosen’s three award-winning Orlando convention hotels – Rosen Plaza, Rosen Centre and Rosen Shingle Creek.

The Ask Rosen campaign is the latest in a series of successful Rosen Revealed marketing campaigns from Rosen Hotels & Resorts that help engage meeting planners and make the planning process easier. The campaign recently won Gold and Silver ADDY Awards at the Greater Orlando Advertising Federation and a Gold ADDY Award at the Florida District annual awards celebrating the state’s best sales and marketing programs. Existing meeting planners may receive an Echo device from the sales team, but all planners can access the Ask Rosen Alexa skill on any device through the Amazon library. Programmed with hundreds of answers, Ask Rosen gives instantaneous access to the details, facts and stats that set Rosen properties above the rest.

Ask Rosen is the first Alexa hotel skill developed specifically for meeting planners as an educational tool. Planners who have received an Echo device are “echo”-ing Rosen’s excitement over the new technology. Early feedback shows that being able to get answers right away is key.

Meg Pisani, Sr. Director Supplier Relations, Maritz, calls the sales tool “a stroke of genius. I love the Ask Rosen Alexa skill and branded Echo device, and look forward to having Ask Rosen answer all my meeting questions!”

While Rosen provides multiple resources for planners to get information, no option is faster or more convenient than being able to Ask Rosen in the moment, like while in a planning meeting. This technology helps planners better meet tight deadlines and streamline the planning process, so meeting professionals can instead focus on making their meetings memorable.

The Ask Rosen skill contains valuable answers regarding facts about convention hotel guestrooms, amenities, and food and beverage; Orlando information, like hotel distances from the airport or the Orange County Convention Center; and statistics on each hotel’s meeting space capabilities and flexibility. The skill even has personal testimonials from Rosen president and COO, Harris Rosen, regarding Rosen Hotels & Resorts’ history, as well as Rosen’s philanthropic efforts.

“The best promo idea ever! The Ask Rosen-branded Amazon Echo device now proudly lives on my desk. We all listened to Mr. Rosen’s message. Cool idea!” says Deb Fafard, Dunkin’ Brands.

Dr. Rosanne White, Executive Director, Student Technology Association, describes the Ask Rosen as “the most fun, personalized meeting tool ever. I can’t wait to hear what I can learn about Rosen Hotels & Resorts!”

Now, the only thing planners need for a flawless event are three simple words: “Alexa, Ask Rosen…”
