Empire Delivers Three Private Concerts in Three Cities
Empire recently presented and produced three headline concerts in three cities. In May 2022, we produced a performance by the legendary Ms. Lauryn Hill in NYC for a very lucky private art gallery audience of 300 people. Ms. Hill was dressed to kill in a space-age themed outfit and floored the crowd with hits like “Lost Ones", "Doo Wop (That Thing)” and her iconic cover of “Killing Me Softly”. That same month we also presented Pitbull for an electrifying show at Club LIV at the Fontainebleau Hotel in Miami. “Mr. Worldwide” and his dancers had the private venture capital crowd jumping along to chart-toppers such as “International Love” and “Feel This Moment.” And finally, in early June 2022, Empire presented pop sensation Andy Grammer for an insurance company’s private conference in Santa Barbara. The outdoor show at the Fess Parker Winery was a spectacular setting for Andy’s feel-good performance with platinum-selling songs including “Honey I’m Good” and “Good To Be Alive”.
Empire has been a leading resource for headline entertainment since our inception in 1993. Artists we have presented and/or produced for our clients include Adele, Justin Timberlake, P!nk, Jerry Seinfeld, John Mulaney, John Legend, Sebastian Maniscalco, Seth Meyers, Andrea Bocelli, David Copperfield, David Blaine, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Rihanna, Taylor Swift and hundreds more.
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.
