Hundreds of New Yorkers Ditch their Desks to Join More than 600 Starwood Hotels Associates Working in Central Park at 34,000 Square Foot "Link@Sheraton" Technology Lounge Sheraton Announces Free Wi-Fi in Sheep Meadow for Month of September and Summer 2009 Sheraton Work-Life Study Reveals 87% of Workplace Professionals Take PDA to Bed
According to a new work-life study from Sheraton Hotels, 87% of professionals bring their PDA into the bedroom and 35% say that, if forced to choose, they'd pick their PDA over their spouse! On the heels of this survey, Sheraton invites technology-addicted New York professionals to swap their ties for t-shirts and spend the day working in Central Park. They will join more than 600 associates from parent company Starwood Hotels & Resorts, as the company relocates its offices to work remotely for the first-ever "Global Out of the Office Day" on Monday, Sept. 15, beginning at 9am in Central Park, adjacent to Sheep's Meadow.
Sheraton SVP Hoyt Harper will kick off the event by ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell, while Starwood CEO Frits Van Paasschen simultaneously opens Central Park for business with a "remote ringing."
The event launches Sheraton's new signature hotel offering: the "Link@Sheraton experienced with Microsoft," a unique lobby technology lounge that enables guests to work and stay connected while traveling, with free Wi-Fi, Microsoft Windows-based computers, webcams, TV and daily newspapers. Sheraton will replicate its hotel version in Central Park by constructing a 34,000 square foot "Link@Sheraton" -- with free Wi-Fi, 50 computer stations and two 52" TVs with live cable TV - where thousands will work from the Park for the day. At the event, Sheraton will also kick off a newly inked sponsorship of free Wi-Fi in Sheep Meadow for the month of September and Summer 2009.
