If you have been sitting on the fence as to whether to attend the Interactive Intelligence (News - Alert) INTERACTIONS 2014 event, to be held in Indianapolis June 2-5, 2014, this should tip you in the direction of making your reservations today. Interactive Intelligence has added Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck to its global customer and partner event, joining an already illustrious group of featured participants that includes adventurer and author Aron Ralston, and social media expert Jay Baer.

I will admit to being more than a bit star-struck, especially when it comes to high visibility U.S. sports celebrities and can’t wait to see and hopefully meet one of football’s biggest tents. Luck will making his appearance at INTERACTIONS 2014’s All-American Tailgate-themed party which will take place Tuesday, June 3, 6:30-10:30 p.m. at Lucas Oil Stadium.

As a tickler, attendees can buy raffle tickets prior to the party for a chance to have Luck throw them a pass on the field. The winners will also receive an autographed NFL football and picture with Luck at the party. Think of this as a “selfie” but taken by a pro with a pro.

It should be noted that this is part of Interactive Intelligence’s long commitment of doing well by doing good. All proceeds from raffle tickets will go to the Interactive Intelligence Foundation, the company's nonprofit arm whose mission is to use resources and funding to foster life improvements for at-risk youth.

"I look forward to speaking at INTERACTIONS about the importance of giving back to the community," Luck said. "I was fortunate as a young person to have parents that encouraged a healthy lifestyle. Many kids today, however, never get this opportunity. It's my honor to help the Foundation raise funds that will give these kids the resources they need to live healthier, more fulfilling lives so they can realize their full potential."

The All-American Tailgate party will include dinner, live music from The Railers, and a look inside Lucas Oil Stadium. Along with INTERACTIONS 2014 attendees, the party is open to attendees of the collocated event produced by Technology Marketing Corp. (TMC (News - Alert)), CX Hot Trends Symposium.
