Green Grass and Blue Skies: Ifly in the Woodlands to host Dixie Chopper Corporate Event

THE WOODLANDS, Texas – When the corporate head office calls for a gathering of its individual offices, rarely is the news met with employee joy. Retreats, workshops, meetings and training sessions tend to be held in environments that are designed to purely inform and educate, not entertain.

However, the minds at Dixie Chopper’s corporate headquarters had a better idea. When scouting locations for the nationally recognized lawn mower company’s Service School day for its Texas dealers, they looked to the skies for inspiration, and ended up choosing iFly Indoor Skydiving in The Woodlands as the location for the daylong training session.

“We chose iFly as a prime Service School location because it stood out to us,” said Sierra Miller, Dixie Chopper's Public Relations & Communications Specialist. “It offered our dealers a unique experience compared to traditional event spaces.”

Located in The Woodlands just off Interstate 45, iFly offers skydiving in a format that’s guaranteed infinitely safer than jumping out of an airplane at 10,000 feet. Adventurers visiting the facilities are trained and prepped, then step into a special wind tunnel that simulates an actual skydiving experience. Videos and photos of your air-dance are available, along with several mementos.

iFly also provides conference rooms for parties and corporate events, and Dixie Chopper took full advantage of it. Dealers from all over Texas spent several hours at the venue, learning how to better service Dixie Chopper lawn mowers from the company’s service and warranty team. After the session, the dealers had the opportunity to gear up and enter the flight chamber for a thrilling, high-soaring experience.

“While we’re known for our individual flight scenarios, more and more businesses are choosing innovative, outside-the-box venues like iFly to hold their corporate events,” said Jennifer Forrester, general manager at iFly. “We encourage business owners looking to provide their employees with a thrilling field trip to contact us to inquire about our corporate packages.”
