To celebrate the Spotlight Awards, “guests were invited into a red curtained cocktail lounge to start the evening with drinks and networking with the industry’s finest before entering the ballroom for the awards portion of the evening. Large red curtains draped the walls to produce an illusion of intimacy as attendees awaited the opening of the curtains and entrance into the awards ceremony.”
David Tutera was our host for the evening.
There were several entertaining acts throughout the evening.
The 2013 Spotlight Award winners were announced and presented with their trophies at the Event Solutions Spotlight/ICA CATIE Awards in Las Vegas during the Event Solutions Idea Factory. Congratulations to the winners:
