Polls Close Tuesday at Midnight!

'Tis the season. Election season that is! Not just in politics, but in the special events industry.
And we are thrilled to have been named a finalist in one of the industry's top awards -- the 2012 Event Solutions magazine Spotlight Awards.

AOO Events is one of only five event companies in the country up for Event Company of the Year!

Polls close tomorrow night, Tuesday, January 31, at midnight Pacific time!

The finalists were chosen by the Event Solutions magazine Advisory Board, a group of high-powered professionals from all areas of the industry.
We thank the board for making us a finalist.
Now we need you to help make AOO Events a winner!

Below is a sample of the work that we designed and produced in 2011 that made us a finalist.
Please take a look through.
At the end of this post you will find a logo that is a link to the voting site.


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 U.S.S. Midway aircraft carrier 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. At the Bacara Resort in Santa Barbara we produced a runway show, oversaw the build-out of the runway itself as well as the design of the room which was notable for the bold use of red against a designer-white background.

Thank you for voting and helping to make us Event Company of the Year!
