METTA WORLD PEACE – Mental Health Talk Event
16 November 2016
In today’s event spotlight, we are thrilled to share the experiences of Alice Issac of Alice Issac Productions as she carefully planned the METTA WORLD PEACE – Mental Health Talk event using AllSeated!
I KNEW AllSeated would come to the rescue when I got a call from Congresswoman Grace Napolitano’s office saying she wanted an event produced for Mental Health Awareness month. NBA Star Metta World Peace would be sharing his journey to mental health restoration.
Grammy nominated artist Crystal Lewis would be singing, the Kaiser Permanente educational program would be helping to lead with coping exercises for the 400 guests plus 12 Mayors from neighboring cities, representatives from the Army National Guard and others in attendance.
Media was going to be covering the event. Different vendors would need tables to feature their resources and the fire department truck would be present for the event as well!
The event took place at an airport hanger in El Monte. Once all of the planes were removed, the event space was a very large garage so I needed to create things like green rooms for our distinguished guests and staff plus a platform for our DJ and Media.
I had to design the room structure and build a unique stage that could accommodate the needs of everyone involved as well as determine where the vendors, restrooms, water station, security and check-in would best fit in the space.
I knew that in order for this event to be a success, I would have to start with the measurements of the airport hanger. This is when I became so grateful that AllSeated has custom options!
AllSeated was immensely helpful when it came to the accurate understanding of the dimensions I was actually working with, helping me to best maximize the space.
I took all of the details like pieces in a puzzle and watched it come together as I moved things around to find that perfect fit and flow.
AllSeated provided me with the convenience of not having to free-hand uneven proportions on paper but rather simply select and paste using colors, proper shapes, and even right down to the meticulous detail of how I thought it best for the chairs to be set.
In the last planning meeting before the event, the staff was so excited to see what the event would look like, thanks to AllSeated!
It was so fun to see the team’s reaction as I hit the 3D button and said, “Let me show you.”
Thank you AllSeated for taking my bar of excellence and professionalism up one more notch to the top!
