Live Entertainment

We are flying in the energetic Dan Altano to entertain us and help us announce the winners. You don’t want to miss this funny man!

Many companies will use this special night to reward their hard working employees.

Seating is limited though. Please respect our request of only buying tickets for finalist company employees and their spouses. Unfortunately this means no family members, friends, neighbors, colleagues, clients, or kids.

What to Wear

We’ll see some fantastic gowns, suits, and even tuxedos. This will be a night to remember, for sure!
