Empire Entertainment Presents the Biggest Selling Rock Duo of All Time... Hall & Oates
When Accent on Cincinnati, a top meeting & special event management company, wanted headline talent for a premier insurance company's annual conference, it once again turned to Empire Entertainment to secure, book, and help produce the talent.Always the highlight of the client's conference, the headline concert is traditionally kept top secret until the the moment the curtain rises. This year the audience cheered loudly the moment the curtain rose to reveal Hall & Oates playing their hit "Maneater."Over the course of the next 90 minutes, Hall & Oates delivered a superior performance to the excited crowd.
The Twenty-two hundred excited employees that filled Cincinnati's Aronoff Center sang along to favorites like "She's Gone," "You've lost that Lovin' feeling," and "Sara Smile" among others. After receiving a standing ovation, Hall & Oates returned to the stage for an incredible three-song encore including "Rich Girl," "Kiss on my List," and closed the show with "So Close."With over 19 gold & platinum records to their credit, Hall & Oates used their vast repertoire of chart topping hits to bring the crowd to its feet, where they danced in the aisles throughout the performance.
On the following evening, Empire Entertainment showcased comedian Vic Henley for the closing party. Vic's slow Southern charm and smooth drawl had the crowd in stitches.The client was thrilled with both performances, proving once again that a little rock and roll and lots of laughter can be an inspiration to everyone.

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.
