News from AOO!

AOO Events has been named a finalist in the 2012 Event Solutions Magazine Spotlight Awards for Event Company of the Year!
The awards are the event industry's Oscars.
The finalists were chosen by the Event Solutions Advisory Board, a group of high-powered professionals from all areas of the industry.

We thank the board for making us a finalist.
Now it's your turn to make AOO Events a winner!

Below are a few of the events we designed and produced in 2011 to get us to this point. Check them out and then click on the Spotlight logo at the end of this post to vote.


UPMC
This year, our longtime client, the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, named its annual fund-raising event "Celebrate a Future Without Cancer" and challenged us by asking for a color palette of hot jewel tones. We successfully turned up the heat both with the event design and the entertainment, the one-and-only Gladys Knight!

100th ANNIVERSARY OF NAVAL AVIATION
This event took us above and below the deck of the USS Midway aircraft carrier stationed in San Diego. The evening began with a presentation and a fireworks show. It continued down below in an all-metal hangar bay which we transformed in six hours into this gorgeous environment! Heartfelt videos by Brett Culp and a performance by Kenny Loggins made this one of the year's most memorable events for us.

DREAM FOUNDATION
The jewel in our crown this year was the Dream Foundation event featuring the designer Salvatore Ferragamo. Held at the Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara we produced a runway show, overseeing the build out of the runway, and the design of the room which was notable for the bold use of red against a designer-white background.
