One of the world's best-known acrobatic and aerial performance troupe's, Antigravity, created wildly successful original aerial and acrobatic performances for Central America's largest commercial real estate development firm for the opening of two giant shopping malls in Panama City, Panama and San Salvador, El Salvador in December 2004. The directors and acrobats of AntiGravity worked closely with the client to develop magical routines that would generate the proper excitement and buzz for the opening of these enormous new facilities and overcame many obstacles to present excellent performances within this challenging environment.

Audience members for these prestigious shows included virtually every noteworthy person in Panama and El Salvador and included the nation's President, government officials, dignitaries, industry leaders, and national media as well as local celebrities and trend setters throughout Central America. In San Salvador, the national press heralded AntiGravity's first performance throughout the country, generating a "rock-concert" turn out for the second performance, complete with over 4,000 in attendance and many lining up out the street outside hours beforehand to secure seating. The concept and design of the performances achieved the client's desired goals as both shopping centers recorded tremendous sales over the course of the opening days.Antigravity's high energy, contemporary routines combined with their ability to provide entertainment that is non-verbal and yet universally appealing have made them one of the world's most sought-after performance groups. They are ideal for large-scale public and private events and appeal to both men and women, young and old from every nation.

Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.

A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.

Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience. The keynote and breakout sessions were livestreamed through an onsite studio built for this purpose and content was watched online by millions around the world.

Empire is proud to collaborate with Microsoft on this annual, top-tier business communication event.
