Avantgarde Phillips

Location...Location...
It has to be all about location. 

Talk about an after party... that has to be on an island beach-front, that is considered to be one among'st one of the most elite strip of real estate... "The Palm Island!  


Setup was dramatic! Dubai drenched in a freak thunder storm a day prior to the event. which stalled the smooth planned operation. Delay set us back by 24 hours and commenced during the early hours of the next day on the lawn garden of Rixos on the Island a gigantic rig that towered 7mt high to support a large outdoor screen with 2 panels of LED Curtian of 12mm Sound and lights to enhance effect. 

Set for completion and action on the very same day! was taxing enough, the crew had to work on brake neck speed to have the rig up and ready by 15:00hrs and the rehearsals were under way at 16:00hrs the gala-dinner was well all underway in record time! 

 "The most important, single ingredient in the formula of success, 
is knowing how to get along with people, and difficult times"
- Theodore Roosevelt


This is exactly what the entire team did in the past few days. I gratuitously applaud and appreciated their patience and support in working on a very difficult event, the weather truly tested our abilities, sanity, patience, and cooperation. 

There is no one magic moment, that helped us pull through this rather difficult day that lay ahead of us;  but lots of little things that we added together!!! The help we gave and got from each and every one of us, team members. The light heart'ed jokes and humor, edge us on, like cool breeze on a hot summer day. All this came together to achieve our supper lightning speed, and success of the event, this makes each and every one of YOU victorious!!!
  
My unfailing appreciation to Tom Walter, who captained from a damp start and excelled it to a glorious finish with an ACE team Rainer, Joseph, Roli, Renante, Joel (S) Joel (T) Silva, and all the rest of the crew members, not forgetting, 

 Cheers to…  Operations / Administration / warehouse / logistics /  & CREW. 
THANK YOU for making me proud.
