Innovations IBM Thinkplace
Although Disney has experienced a 27% decline in hotel accomodations, some pavilions have proven resilient to the downturn. Opening on Jan 09 was the much acclaimed IBM ThinkPlace at the Innoventions pavilion.
As a showcase for leading companies, Epcot is always looking for companies to sponsor a new technology. Recently, Innoventions welcomed it's most recent corporate sponsor IBM ThinkPlace with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. This financial-education attraction was much lauded by T. Rowe Price who cut the ribbon.
Although the Innoventions East & West pavilions may be considered short-cuts to more popular attractions, over 11 million potential guests pass through these gateways each year. For Disney, these showcases are critical because they generate millions of dollars in annual revenues.
Due to the near collapse of one of Innoventions sponsor's GM, this new showcase will be especially important to Disney representing estimated $1 million a year for the privilege to host their exhibit.
