Tuesday December 8, 2009 Blackstone and Mindstorm would like to invite professionals and proprietors of Miami nightlife venues and bars to a launch event commencing at 2.00pm through 5:00pm. Mindstorm brings surfaces and spaces to life with a range of innovative, multi-touch and interactive solutions. Now Mindstorm has entered the USA with a new Value Added Partner, Blackstone, and a new reference customer, Mia at Biscayne, in Miami, Florida. The event will serve as a showcase, and tutorial on interactive surfaces, and provide an opportunity to see the most unique, advanced products in action while learning more about how they can increase a venue’s revenue and profit. What does this mean? With iPhone like precision and features, and able to detect hundreds of touch points, hanging out at the bar will never be the same. Guests can see how the iBar allows customers to make their own drinks on the interactive surface and enables club owners to up sell and cross sell other products. Currently, customers are seeing margin increases of 20-25%.
Mia at Biscayne also features the Mindstorm Eclipse interactive wall. This is a curved wall, and these unique capabilities have generated television and print coverage for Mia at Biscayne and made the venue a “must see” hotspot in Miami.

Located in the heart of Downtown Miami, Mia at Biscayne was created as a reflection of the warmth, and diversity Miami represents. A tantalizing blend of color, mixed layout, bold fixtures, and the highest quality of audio visual capability, the venue is a culmination of four unique concepts intricately meshed to comprise one entertainment complex. Lounge, restaurant, sidewalk café and club, this location was created with the guest in mind. During the holidays, Mia will open its doors also featuring special signature cocktails (just for the season) as well as delicious creations by Executive Chef Gerdy Rodriguez. Complete with the highest standard of culinary elements, the menu at Mia was created to reflect all that is Miami, its people and picturesque landscape. When guests dine at Mia they will experience “concept dining” at its best. The location and menu were designed to create a full visual and palate-pleasing experience that will provoke social intimacy and conversation. Mia is where a potpourri of hues, spices, flavors, and cultures meet, as is Miami. http://www.miabiscayne.com.
