Walking the Red Carpet

Topic of the day: My company's gala dinner


Earlier last month, my company held a formal gala party to celebrate the win of a prestigious PR award - the Oscars of the PR world, as its been put. The event was held in the China World Hotel (a ritzy 5 star hotel) and was extremely well put together.

Not only did the night include a 5 course meal, but also a red carpet walk, 2 professional photographers (they weren't that great), performances, and a free flow of good champagne/ wine/ beer.

Plus, not only was I able to coerce Chris (and if he looks familiar, yes, he used to be a Canadian MC member) to go with me to the event, but also delivered, more or less, a half decent speech in front of my whole company, clients, journalists, and others, about my past year's experience at the agency.

The night ended fabulously well, with a room full of "happy" professionals (my memory of the later half of the night was a bit blotchy). With all luck, there will be more nights like this to come!
