At the 2013 TSE (The Special Event Show) Conference in Chicago last week, AFR Event Furnishings showcased their new products by teaming up with some great partners to create a Garden Party in our booth, right on the Trade Show floor!
Special thanks go to Event FX Productions who supplied the Pipe & Base, Pole Covers and lighting to start the foundation of the structure. Also, thank you to Atomic Rentals who sponsored their Pippa Panels and the Custom AFR Panels which finished it off. We also have to thank Timot McGonagle of Kehoe Designs and Floral Exhibits who provided the beautiful florals and plants which completed the overall look of our garden party.
As the attendees entered our booth they walked onto a grass carpet and were able to view first hand some of the new collections we had on display. We paired the Vermont Dining Table with Elio chairs, complimented by two Grass love seats on the adjacent side.
Our Dijon Chairs were paired with the new Ferro End Tables in two corners. We accented the other corner with our Chateau Sofa and apple cubed ottomans.
The main attraction of the garden party were sample prototypes of a Mirrored Bar with a matching 3-piece bar back. We asked our valued clients and event professionals to provide feedback on developments they would like to see. Look for the finished product at Event Solutions!
Besides the AFR Booth we also teamed up with Eventbrite and were happy to be co-sponsors for the Attendee Social Media Lounge. We were asked to create a classroom style setting so we used a variety of our new cubed ottomans and our Vivid end tables to give it a more modern setting. We also provided a TV on our Umber Bar so that Eventbrite could show their PowerPoint.
We divided the lounge with our new Shanty Espresso Bar backs which were a great backdrop for our Winston Collection. Another favorite of the attendees was the new Memphis Pub Tables accompanied with the Marcus bar stools.
Our partners from Eventbrite were very happy as you can see in their quote below:
Sara and I had a great time in the Social Media Lounge. We had 12 1:1 sessions with attendees. Conversations included tips on building and maintaining a social media presence. We helped a few organizers brainstorm ways that they could incorporate social media in their live event experience. It was also a great opportunity for us to chat with current Eventbrite organizers who stopped by to make use of the comfy cubes and talk about their experience using Eventbrite thus far.
Thank you so much for hosting. I can't tell you how many compliments you received on your set-up. It was a definite plus to have such an inviting lounge!
Cheers,
Alexa
