Thursday July 22 - The Closing Night Party
Chair: Chad Everett, Events by Galaxy
James Keller said, “…a candle loses nothing by lighting another candle,” and that is the inspiration for a gathering like no other. The Closing Night Party, held in Ballrooms B & C at the Miami Beach Convention Center will certainly wow you with its transformation from conference rooms to over-the-top industry celebration! Join us as we reignite our precious industry, darkened for too long. Celebrate with colleagues amidst an entertainment-filled experience as we wrap up a great week for our industry and embark on our industry rebuild. The time has come to celebrate the hope, love, and light that we instill with steadfast dedication into every event we create.
If there is one thing this past year has taught us, it’s that: “The future of our industry belongs to the power of WE. We are creation machines and we have the power to ignite the light of a thousand dreams.” After this challenging year, we are thrilled to debut “Ignite Your Light,” an immersive experiential journey chronicling the event industries greatest endeavor: the Global Shutdown.
