The LEGO Group recently sponsored Toy Insider's Sweet Suite press and influencer event — and showed up with the most creative booth there! The vibrant booth design (pictured) leveraged a custom, modular shelving unit to spotlight the brand's primary colors. Throughout the space, the company also displayed research emphasizing why play is so important for kids and adults alike — using their own products as featured decor! The LEGO Group's Sweet Suite presence marks the second instance in a series of three events for this particular booth concept, with September 17's Toy Insider Holiday of Play still to come. The concept's evolution to-date based on the audience and trending products made for a creative booth space that was playful and inviting.

When an event celebrates excellence in lighting design, you know it’s going to be a good one. 💡 And the Illuminating Engineering Society’s 2024 Lumen Awards, held at Pier Sixty in June, did not disappoint! The SEQ-produced event drew almost 800 people and had a whimsical “Summer Solstice” theme. Fun fact: Members of Team SEQ have been working on this event for almost 20 years! Thanks to our partners on this year’s event...

Planning an event isn’t just about creating memorable experiences; it’s also about being ready for the unexpected. From sudden weather changes and tech glitches to medical emergencies and security issues, event planners also need to be top-notch crisis managers. Hint: That’s where an experienced team like Sequence Events can really shine. In our almost 13 years of business, we’ve worked with high-profile clients, speakers, and attendees—and developed the expertise to handle any event curveball, large or small. And in our latest blog post, we’re spilling some of our troubleshooting secrets. Here's how to effectively handle an unexpected situation and ensure your entire event goes off without a hitch—or, at least, as close to it as possible! https://lnkd.in/ecGR_AdV

Phipps Neighborhoods/Houses hosted their annual Phipps Community Builder Awards at Cipriani 42nd St. in June, honoring their longtime partner and Monadnock founder Nick Lembo.

When’s the last time you were shooting hoops at a gala with a black tie-and-sneakers dress code? 🏀 At Foot Locker Foundation’s recent #OnOurFeet Gala, 750+ guests were treated to a night of food, specialty cocktails, basketball, dancing, and programming at New York’s Pier Sixty. This signature event fundraises for programs like The Foot Locker Scholar Athletes Program and their long-standing scholarship with UNCF. SEQ has been working with this client since 2002, and was thrilled to work with gala sponsors Nike, New Balance, Croc, Deloitte, Heart Centric, and more.

We had an incredible time producing the recent Los Angeles and San Francisco benefits for the Center for Reproductive Rights, the world’s only global legal advocacy organization fighting for reproductive rights!

Team SEQ is honored to work with so many nonprofit clients helping make our hometown a better place—including Neighbors Together, a community-based organization committed to ending hunger and poverty in three of New York City’s lowest-income areas!

The 400-guest event surpassed fund-raising efforts and helped give back to New Yorkers in need—and we were thrilled to be a part of it!
