Hello Everyone!
Welcome to The Sunburst Convention web site and thanks for visiting! We are very excited about Sunburst 2009! With the economy the way it is, you might be wondering how you can increase your bookings and keep current with trends in the entertainment industry as it pertains to us. This is one way...attend The Sunburst Convention.
Buyers and Artists from all over the U.S. and abroad will benefit by attending our convention. Remember, buyers can attend the showcases at no charge...but read further! We've made it more advantageous than ever for everyone involved.
This year, we have changed things up a bit to raise the bar of excellence in our fun and exciting industry. We will have showcases on two days as always but there is a difference this year....two showcases on Friday and one on Saturday. Historically, buyers have found many, many great talents in this type of showcase format. All Showcases will be on the main stage with a full house of eager audience members, agents and other talent buyers.
The GOLD and PLATINUM Showcases, held on Friday, are for those singing artists and comedy tribute artists who want to upgrade for even more exposure and maximum booking potential. (Registration fee increase required on the Platinum Showcase). The Platinum Showcase Performers will also have a video segment from their showcase performance shown on the Sunburst Convention web site for one year after the convention. Clients and other potential buyers will be able to book you through Full Access Agents as we will list their contact information on our site.
Our showcase on Saturday will feature Premier AND Veteran Acts for the general public as well as agents and talent buyers attending on that day. We are limiting the number of showcase spots on either day, so be sure to register early for your guaranteed showcase spot. Agents, buyers and the general public are invited to attend both showcase days.
We encourage ALL LOOK ALIKES to attend this year to receive maximum exposure during our showcases. You will be presented on stage during BOTH days showcases. Though we are all LOOK ALIKES, I am referring to those who do not sing or have a comedy routine. I am speaking of those similar to Robert Redford, Angelina Jolie, Jennifer Aniston, Johnny Depp, Richard Gere, Sandra Bullock, Julia Roberts, Orlando Bloom, Tom Cruise, and so many more.
We are also looking for more look alikes of sports figures like Dale Earnhardt and Michael Jordan. Look Alikes of Professional Wrestlers and more are welcomed.
Plus, we are looking for classic look alikes like Mae West, WC Fields, Lucy and Ricky, Abbott and Costello, James Dean, John Wayne, Milton Berle, Humphrey Bogart, Bette Davis, Joan Crawford, Clark Gable and others. AND...let's not forget those like Stephen Speilberg, Tom Brokaw, Anderson Cooper, Barbara Walters, Ellen DeGeneres and so on.
The convention is open to anyone and everyone who wants to come and participate and learn and network. Even if you are not ready to showcase, come for the learning experience and the great fun of it. Just come to learn a trememdous amount of information that could otherwise take you years to acquire. Finally, you'll love the opportunities you have to network!
The seminars alone are worth the value of attending. We'll show you how to market yourself, perfect your character or act and get more bookings. It's 100% tax deductable, and like many Sunburst attendees have said, "If you only get one booking or only meet one buyer who will book you, it's worth attending. All the rest, extra bookings, informative seminars, fun and networking, is gravy." And we DO have fun! Ask anyone who has attended! We have a HUGE return rate from our attendees!
Thanks for your time and we look forward to helping everyone along the way. We are now accepting registrations. First come, first served on the showcase. Reserve your spot soon.
Remember, I'm also an entertainer as well as a producer, so I know (along with my highly capable staff) what you need and want as an entertainer and booking agent. Keep up the good work and here's to more bookings in 2009 and 2010!
All the best,
Greg & Jackie Thompson- Executive Producers
Call: 407-226-9088 if you have any questions. That's what we are here for.
Welcome To The Sunburst Convention!
Where Talented Celebrity Tribute Artists Meet Agents....
and Agents Meet Qualified Entertainers!
THIS YEAR SUNBURST PROUDLY PRESENTS OUR GOLD AND PLATINUM SHOWCASES, FEATURING ONLY THE BEST TRIBUTE ARTISTS AVAILABLE!
A Note From Our Producers....
This photo was taken after our "Day Two" Showcase of The Starz from 2008!
We feature over 125 Professional Tribute Artists Each Year!
NEW! NEW! NEW!
This year we are going OFF PROPERTY again. We haven't done it in three years, but we are doing it again!
This year we are going to ICEBAR-Orlando.
Most of it is a really neat nightclub. There is a stage and we are putting in Karaoke for our attendees to sing if they like.
500 sq. feet of the bar is a special place. Through a special door is an "ALL ICE BAR". The bar is made of ice, the glasses are ice, the chairs are Ice...really cool! Pardon the pun.
Anyway, we have taken care of your admission to ICEBAR-Orlando and we have arranged GREAT prices on the drinks!
We welcome the public to attend with us! It's going to be a great time and it's only 3 blocks from our hotel!
There is no food at ICEBAR, but a great number of us will eat at Bahama Breeze just a half block from there!
This is going to be a great time!
AND...the Hospitality Suite will be open and ready for your return whenever you are through partying at ICEBAR.
