LIVE EVENT TIPS
| |
TIP: As trivial as it may sound, producers of live events often forget how hard the crew works during set-up and during the show. Always have food on hand, such as trays of fruit, muffins, sandwiches, juices, and water. And be sure they have something when ... and if ... they take breaks.

  | CHAMBER BALL 2011 - THE MIRROR BALL |
AXE Productions is going retro providing productions services for this year's ball. Edmonton's "best night out" for 2011 is the Mirror Ball, a throwback to the late 70s and 80s disco dance scene. Live acts including Evelyn Champagne King, Bonnie Pointer and Peaches & Herb will pull you from your seats as we celebrate the Edmonton Business Community together.
After a dinner by award winning chef Simon, the Chamber will say farewell to Chamber board chair Carman McNary, QC, of Fraser Milner Casgrain, welcome incoming chair Bernie Kollman of IBM Canada, and pay special tribute to this year's Northern Lights Award of Distinction honoree, Brick Founder Bill Comrie.
