Pay is $200.00 for the event on a straight buyout.

(From the Director) “We’ll start in the ballroom (they can meet us there), and they’ll be part of the closing session. We’re still working out the script, but around 5:45pm, our speaker closes out the conference and officially kicks off the party.
We’ll have them go on stage, and present the speaker with their Day of the Dead mask and then help lead the attendees onto the outdoor Terrace where the party will be held.
From about 6pm – 7pm, we’ll use them for “atmosphere.” The closing General Session is being recorded, but if it has legs, it may be used as a post conference stream for those who couldn’t attend (this would be an internal audience only.)
Guests may post pics from the reception on their personal social media accounts.”

Production company is “Ignition Event Group”. Their client is “TRANE-HVAC”
