THG Sports CEO Jon Stromberg: Monaco Grand Prix to Offer Exciting Race, Hospitality
(May 20, 2009) CHICAGO – The 2009 Monaco Grand Prix is poised to be one of the most challenging and exciting races on this year’s Formula One circuit-and an unmatched opportunity for corporate hospitality, says THG Sports North America CEO Jon Stromberg.
“The Monaco event comes on the heels of a thrilling Spanish Grand Prix,” Stromberg says. “We’re seeing a lot of last minute interest in hospitality opportunities at Monaco-a testimony to the ‘must-see’ nature of the event.”
The Monaco Grand Prix, with practice runs beginning this week prior to Sunday’s race, is one of the jewels on the Formula One circuit, known for dramatic exits and finishes through the picturesque streets of the city. The Brawn-Mercedes team has finished strong in this year’s other Formula One races, with driver Jensen Button winning four so far in 2009.
THG Sports provided hospitality during this year’s past Formula One events in Australia, Malaysia, China, Bahrain and last week in Catalunya, Spain. The offerings included full Executive Club hospitality with four-course meal service and celebrity appearances by Formula One commentator Heiko Wasser and Alex Yoong, former F1 driver and current A1 driver & ESPN announcer.
THG Sports offers similar hospitality offerings at Monaco, including yacht shuttles to and from the racecourse. “We expect the Monaco Grand Prix to once again deliver a lifetime experience to our Formula One fans and clients,” Stromberg says.
In addition to Monaco, THG Sports provides corporate hospitality during upcoming Formula One events including the Turkish Grand Prix, British Grand Prix, German Grand Prix, Hungarian Grand Prix, European Grand Prix, Belgium Grand Prix, Italian Grand Prix, Singapore Grand Prix, Brazilian Grand Prix, and the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

GOLF WITH A PGA PRO
THG will arrange for a PGA touring pro to golf with you and your guests, creating your very own personal “Championship golfing highlight” experience.
ZIP LINING
Experience the thrill of a lifetime by zip lining in the midst of Costa Rica’s jungle tree-canopies and the Amazon’s rainforest, or across the spectacular, panoramic gorges of northern Oregon and British Columbia. Zip lining is an activity in which a participant straps on a harness or sits in a chair that is hooked on a large cable. The cable links two destinations; a starting point and an ending point; often times over a river, gorge or between two mountains. The participant will then let go and let gravity do its part. You then zip along the cable at varying speeds. The feeling is similar to actually flying. Many people have compared the experience to “Spiderman” or “Superman”. Thrilling and adrenalin inducing, it is perfectly safe and a guaranteed exciting time.
DECADENT WINERY TOURS
Experience the rich wine traditions of Europe and visit the Loire Valley’s Chateau country region in France, the Rheingau, and the Moselle by traveling through the vineyards and villages of some of the most famous wine regions of the Old World. Taste exquisite wines along the Danube, while you also visit some of Europe’s most beautiful cities and historic towns. Follow the Rhine through Germany, Holland, France and Switzerland; all the while experiencing the vintages of Alsace, Burgundy and Beaujolais. Perhaps you may prefer to explore the charm of South Africa, Chile or California’s Napa Valley? Whichever region you decide on, experience wine tasting at its absolute finest by touring some of the most prestigious, exclusive and famous wineries throughout the world, all the while being personally guided by experienced sommeliers.
EXOTIC SPORT FISHING
Experience unsurpassed custom sport fishing adventures: luxurious fly-fishing excursions in the unspoiled northern Canadian wilderness; catching sharks in the Gulf of Mexico or landing a huge tarpon off the Belize coast.
FLYING A FIGHTER PLANE
Learn to fly the SIAI Marchetti SF260 and experience what it is actually like to climb into the cockpit and pilot a fighter plane in a “mock” aerial dogfight.
EXOTIC SAFARI ADVENTURES
Follow big game across the Serengeti plains of Africa, climb Tanzania’s Mount Kilimanjaro, trek mountain gorillas in the dense Ugandan forests, observe a watering hole and spot elephants, giraffe, lions, zebras, cheetahs and antelopes; be awed in the presence of the world’s largest waterfalls at Zimbabwe’s Victoria Falls, witness the millions of flamingos at Lake Nakuru or the glorious yearly migration of the wildebeests. Visit and experience any number of truly exotic, remote locations from around the world. Our exclusive safari destinations offer you access to the world’s premier game reserves and national parks. With an unbeatable combination of vintage style and comfort while in the bush, choose between luxurious tented camps, or one of the famous lodges frequented by Hemingway and Roosevelt. Contact us today and we will customize the safari of your dreams!
ULTIMATE DRIVING EXPERIENCES
If you have a need for speed: climb into the driver’s seat of a Formula or NASCAR race car and personally experience the fastest “drive” available anywhere. If you are seeking an even more extreme experience: then participate in an off-road GPS jeep rally challenge across the beautiful Mexican Baja peninsula or across the unforgiving plains of Africa.
PRIVATE YACHTING ADVENTURES
Sail the seas via an exclusive private charter. Enjoy unlimited caviar and champagne while sailing aboard the beautiful Seadream, the prestigious Aristotle Onassis or the magnificent Christina O; while you explore the charms and beauty of the Mediterranean, or whichever destination you choose to set sail for.
PRIVATE ISLAND RESORTS
Experience luxurious boutique private island adventures: Richard Branson’s Necker Island in Virgin Gorda, Musha Cay in the Exumas, Isle Mustique in the Grenadines or the Seychelles’ Fregate Island. Each private location promises to deliver memories designed to provide a truly unforgettable experience of a lifetime.
ULTIMATE POKER FANTASY CAMP

In fact, with hot sun, white sandy beaches and non-stop poker, this excursion is sure to beat any trip to Vegas, hands down.
These are just a few samples of what we can offer you and your premiere clients. Tailored & Extreme Events will provide your organization with a custom-tailored event that will generate “life altering” memories.
