Surprise Guest Daughtry Performs for Samsung Hope for Children’s Holiday Mixer
On December 5, Empire delivered Daughtry as the surprise performer for Samsung Hope for Children’s annual Holiday Appreciation Mixer. In addition to hors d’oeuvres, drinks, and the opportunity to preview virtual reality and other technology installations at Samsung 837, Samsung’s not-for-profit foundation partners were treated to an intimate acoustic duo performance by American Idol star, Daughtry. Daughtry performed popular songs such as “Home,” “Crawling Back to You,” and “Life After You” before ending with a touching rendition of “Silent Night” to celebrate the holiday season. During the set, Chris Daughtry engaged the audience in a fun 360-degree photo using the Samsung Gear 360 camera.
Empire is a leading provider of top tier musical entertainment and talent for corporate clients, production companies and private interests, and was proud to partner again with Daughtry on another successful event.
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.
