CEO
Ski-in!
 When
asked to come up with a unique CEO reveal for a shopping mall
developer's annual conference, the IE team remembered that
the CEO happens to be passionate about skiing. With that in
mind, IE worked closely with Steve Kemble Event Design and
Image Events to produce an amazing reveal, where the CEO literally
skied into the ballroom on a giant ski slope that was custom-built
and rigged to the ceiling. Following his thrilling descent
into the room, we introduced an amazing troupe of world-class
skiers and snowboarders who performed aerial tricks on trampolines
while wearing their ski equipment. It was a meeting opener
that no one will forget!
