Saying "So Long" to Chris Gerstenblatt

-


Parting is such sweet sorrow...... Our executive producer Chris Gerstenblatt will leave our team this week to pursue a new professional adventure that will offer him fresh challenges.


In six and a half years together we have made many memories as a team and we have seen Chris grow from project manager upon his arrival from Orlando, Florida, to successful executive producer and loving dog owner!

We asked Chris which moments stand out the most for him.

 Chris: "I loved the Holiday Party for which we were allowed to create "Central Park" right here in Southern California.
I really had a great time working with Ted Bowers on the Auctions America where we shared our enthusiasm for classic cars and I feel very proud of our Centennial Campaign for a large university.
I am grateful that I had the opportunity to build strong relationships with our clients' event planners. They allow us to be creative and produce great, unique events. I love turning a concept into event reality."


Let's go for the Barbara Walters Moment: Chris, what will you miss the most?

 "EventWorks is a family. We work together, hand in hand as a team and I will miss all my friends here a lot!"

Chris, we will miss you and Abby, too! We wish you all the best with your new endeavor.

This is not "Farewell", just "So Long".

Your EventWorks Family!

Site Report from The Fabulous Forum in Inglewood

-
Image
We recently had a Fabulous Tour of the Fabulous Forum, courtesy of our friend Jill Przelenski, Director, Special Events & Family Entertainment. In a nutshell: the re-invented Forum deserves the media hype it received. Eagles' Glenn Frey exclaimed: “The Forum is the best sounding large building anywhere in the world. Take my word for it, we’ve played them all.” It also offers exquisite event space possibilities that allow us to create a VIP Experience of any size! The legendary Forum Club serves as special entrance for private and corporate events. It's a VIP Experience from the first moment onward as this area has special parking privileges and street access.  Painting and maintenance crews were hard at work inside and outside of  the new hall that reopened in January 2014.  Jill Przelenski: "We don't allow any wear and tear. Paint, carpets, furnishings - everything gets lots of attention and is constantly updated." Forum Red, inspire...

Since we last checked in with Doron Gazit, the artist and industrial designer has lined multiple locations in California with The Red Line and his art work is currently on exhibit at the San Luis Obispo Museum of Art as well as The Loft at Liz's in Los Angeles. He is being mentioned in one breath with Cristo! We look forward to working with Doron to wrap an environmentally themed event. We were happy to report on The Red Line at the Dead Sea in September 2015. In the 8 months since, Doron has installed his environmental awareness art project in several locations in drought ravaged California. As always The Red Line concept highlights the impact of Global Warming on the environment. In December of 2015, The Red Line snaked through the Pyramid Lake burn area, just North of Los Angeles. Doron Gazit: "After my Red Line installation in the sinkholes of the Dead Sea, I continued to draw the line...
