What are some good ideas for ice breakers or activities at a business meeting?

My department is having a global meeting in June, and there will be about 150 people from US, Asia and Europe attending. I'm helping to plan it and am looking for some ideas for ice breakers (since we don't know the folks from different countries well and we have some new hires).

Last meeting we all had a sheet of paper and markers and were asked to draw what represents our idea of a perfect vacation, our hobbies etc, and one or two people from each table shared with the group. We also had an Elvis impersonator for fun, but we found out that didn't go over too well with the last VP. ha ha

Our VP also wants to have a cookout by the hotel pool (she was hoping to be able to do that on the beach, but we can't) with games and stuff to do while hanging out.

The meeting will be taking place at the hotel that everyone will be staying in, so there's no travel time or people having to leave or anything like that.

Any ideas?
