The Entryway, the space exuded luxury and comfort. Images of icons flanked each of the walls. The TV One team made great use of the venue's gallery molding to hang lighting and set up gobo projections.

The Bar, TV One's branding was prominent throughout the venue. The bar was flanked by high stools to add extra comfort without limiting access for guests.

Seating for VIP Lunches Guests were treated to intimate meals for some of the presentations. The tables were set with gorgeous flower centerpieces, delicate chargers, and crisp white linens.

The Lounge Area was a great place for guests to mingle and talk about the presentations. The scene was set with comfortable couches, decorative sculptures, inspiring books and photographs along the walls.
