A Look Back to 2010

With less than 30 days left in 2010, I stop and take a moment to reflect back on what has turned out to be a great year for Infinity Events.  A year that has yielded some amazing clients, programs, travel to far away lands and alliances with remarkably talented event and meeting professionals.

All of which has led to ending my year with a nomination as a finalist for an Event Solutions Spotlight Award for Event Producer of The Year.  As they say, the nomination alone is an honor however I would be less than truthful if I didn't say it would be a thrill to win.  Therefore, please take a moment to log on and vote using the link that is provided at the end of this post.

In the meantime however, below are a few of our events and developments that have taken place throughout the year that have led to this point.

ULTIMATE WAVE TAHITI 3D MOVIE PREMIERE

FINALIST BID COMPANY FOR AMWAY CHINA GALA IN ANAHEIM
We were elated to be invited to bid on the massively large incentive program for Amway China consisting of 15,000 attendees over the course of one month.  Out of approximately 25 companies worldwide that had been asked to bid, Infinity Events was the number 2 company however ultimately losing the bid.  The experience was still a once in a lifetime opportunity as we traveled to Shanghai and pushed to limits of creativity and innovation both in design and entertainment in our bid which allowed us to challenge ourselves.

Lounges..."The New Event Frontier"

Swan Ice Carvings, Balloon Arches, Western Theme Parties...Although none of these words are in the Infinity Events vocabulary, they were at one time the "IT" special event trends.  Now the new "IT" must have are lounges at events.  This has been a trend for a while and is showing no signs of leaving anytime soon. With events focusing less on props and more on functional environmental design, lounges can serve many different purposes such as comfortable and stylish seating that help initiate social settings.  Often times instead of complimenting the decor, they ARE the decor and lounges can transform any room or space into an ultra "seen or be seen" hip night club. Below are just a few Lounge/Club ideas previously seen at many IEi client events.

GETTING MORE WITH LESS. Budgets May Have a "Ceiling"...Creativity Doesn't

The federal government is learning the hard way, what the event industry has already known for a few years now and that is it's time to get creative and figure out how to make do with less. While this is not a new concept, those who are not able to grasp it often react with a "knee jerk" approach and cancel anything that is perceived to be expensive.  It is the easiest task in the world to produce greatness with unlimited funds however it takes a little ingenuity and creativity to still deliver results when the funds are not there. Thankfully with a paper clip, dental floss and a dixie cup you can "MacGyver" your way to amazing results in event design. Below are a few events we have produced over the past few years that have had budgets of $35,000 or less for groups of 400 or more.  This budget has had to include the following: Decor - Linens, centerpieces, stage decor, perimeter Lighting Entertainment Audio Visual - Sound, video, projection Multi-med...
