Event Date: Friday, December 1. 2017 Time: 6:30pm to 9:30pm Location: Vibiana, Downtown Los Angeles, CA Guest Count: 600 The Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board and Marriott International wished to highlight the rich and illustrious history of Los Angeles at THE EXCHANGE – Corporate Partnership Conference, the annual corporate meeting professionals event for Marriott International.

The Challenge: we completely transformed an existing space within a strict time limit. We had been tasked with creating and producing the Golden Gate Park, Mission District, Haight Ashbury, Embarcadero, North Beach, Russian Hill and Chinatown for this extensive reception. Alisa Walsh: "We decided to give the Neighborhood theme a new creative twist. Our team came up with "Snapshots", iconic images of San Francisco, that we turned into design reality. In cooperation with the hotel's banquet department we then matched food and beverage with the neighborhoods. We also matched the entertainment to the themes.
