Beach Boys Exclusive Beach Concert in the Caribbean
For a global pharmaceutical firm, Empire booked and produced a perfect evening of beach music under starry Caribbean skies with musical legends the Beach Boys (featuring original members Mike Love and Bruce Johnson). The event took place on the remote island of St. John in the U. S. Virgin Islands where all staging, sound, lighting, power and band equipment had to be brought in by boat. At this wildly successful party, guests danced in front of the stage, on the sand and even in the water to all of the Beach Boys hits including "Good Vibrations," "Surfin' USA," "California Girls" and "Wouldn't It Be Nice." The client was thrilled with the show and the opportunity proves that Empire can work its magic even on difficult, foreign shores.
Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.
A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.
Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience. The keynote and breakout sessions were livestreamed through an onsite studio built for this purpose and content was watched online by millions around the world.
Empire is proud to collaborate with Microsoft on this annual, top-tier business communication event.
