If there is one thing this past year has taught us, it’s that, “The future of our industry belongs to the power of ‘we,’” according to Chad Everett, Chair of The Special Event’s Closing Night Celebration. “We are creation machines and we have the power to ignite the light of a thousand dreams.” 

The light was definitely ignited, and for many the dream of once again being together as an industry came true, during The Special Event’s Closing Night Celebration held in the Miami Beach Convention Center’s Grand Ballroom. This celebration offered a chance for friends and colleagues to celebrate together during an entertainment-filled experience at the culmination of a great week.

Nestled in the heart of Miami Beach, the sleek Miami Beach Convention Center offers flexible special event and exhibition spaces near beautiful beaches, fine dining, and 5-star resorts. The MBCC welcomes more than 600,000 visitors annually and is located just 12 miles away from Miami International Airport.

Everett, with Galaxy Productions, described the event, dubbed “Ignite Your Light,” as an immersive experiential journey chronicling the event industries’ greatest endeavor: the global shutdown. Beyond the flashy lights, cutting edge holographic projection, and inspired scenery, the celebration presented a truly immersive theatrical production where poetry and technology collided.
