I just had to share these photos from the Special Event Show’s Opening General Session. After the speeches and the statutory provision of information, a seniors-only marching band exploded into the room, energizing the crowd (and probably giving out a few heart attacks), leading everyone to the trade show floor. Heaps of confetti floated from the ceiling to the hall floor. Now being from Canada, I’m used to white out conditions…but this was magnificent. I was delighted to discover that there are actually conference facilities that allow planners to explode confetti everywhere! This would never be allowed here in Toronto! As we exited the hall, we chuckled to ourselves as we saw confetti sticking to every conceivable orifice on the departing guests. Even funnier was seeing the confetti continue to fall from the ceiling and the room’s side walls days after this event. My heart goes out to all those who had to clean up the room after we left.
