Omotesando Special Party 2012
On September 14th, 2012, Omotesando Hills held their “Special Party 2012”. For this exclusive party, Empire Entertainment Japan was asked to handle casting. For the stage, Empire invited Ms. OOJA, Risa Ono and MEG. As DJs, Empire cast DJ KIKIORIX and DJ KAWASAKI.DJ KIKIORIX kicked off the music while guests perused the shops, enjoying the exclusive atmosphere with complimentary champagne in their hands. Ms. OOJA then appeared on the main stage to sing several of her hit songs. Risa Ono, one of the first Japanese artists to gain fame singing bossa nova in Japan then appeared on stage to perform several well loved songs. Finally, MEG greeted the crowd with her dancers before her own amazing performance. DJ KAWASAKI spun the discs with jazz-fusion songs for the rest of the evening. Responsible for stage production and casting, Empire was able to deliver yet another successful event to Omotesando Hills.
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.
