For a sales event in Palm Springs, Calif., DCi produced a lively daytime pool party complete with a custom swing set built over the pool, giant props and activations such as a braid bar, underwater photobooth and barber shop. 

This DCi event at the Palm Springs [Calif.] Air Museum featured a vintage setting transformed into a dynamic "glow zone." The highlight of the evening was when the group requested Prince’s "Purple Rain" to honor one of their colleagues who was battling cancer and couldn’t attend the program. "The entire group gathered around the dance floor hugging, dancing and singing, and we programmed the LED dance floor to glow entirely purple," DCi says. "It was such a touching moment and showed how meaningful events can be."

A high-level group of 29 guests from Australia headed to Palm Springs for a 50^th celebration. DCi was selected as the DMC/event production company for a series of experiences as part of the celebration. "A formal dinner at the famed Dinah Shore estate with elegant styling and an appearance by a Leonardo DiCaprio look-a-like was the highlight," the team says. "Leo renovated the estate, so it was a natural fit!"

"The DCi team loves any opportunity to showcase our branding and fabrication skills," they say. "During a San Diego conference the DCi team produced a pop-up gallery in line with the conference theme in partnership with a creative agency. Seeing the gallery walls go up and showcasing custom commissioned artwork was incredible. The creativity on this project was off the charts!”

DECO Productions oversaw the first U.S. summit for a major tech client, which took more than 800 guests through a busy program. Here, an early-morning soccer tournament featuring a sports superstar.
