Anatomy of an Event: Naval Aviation Centennial Celebration

The Gala: Before and After

Beautiful! You wouldn't know that this event took place below deck of the USS Midway aircraft carrier in San Diego. The celebration was the kickoff of the 100th Anniversary of Naval Aviation and this is the continuation of my blog series on the event.

This is the space -- Hangar Bay 1 -- six hours into installation...


Now we are able to take over more of the space, leaving enough room for about 100 visitors to the Midway who were still wandering around...


Almost there. We are startng to lay tables, and are starting to see color on the perimeter for the first time. The scrim on stage is also up and starting to read color...


Check back on Thursday when I go more into the details of the stage treatment ... there's an interesting story behind it.

If you want to read more on this event before then, check out the digital version of the Event Solutions June issue. This event was the cover story!
