Hybrid Event Planning, Stage Production, Creative Direction, Event Management

Industry-leading window replacement specialists Renewal by Andersen entrusted metroConnections to transition their annual Retailer Summit into a hybrid event that featured an innovative fully virtual conference environment.


CHALLENGE


After a banner year for sales in 2020, Renewal by Andersen needed a safe way to host their annual summit as the pandemic continued to loom, while still generating excitement and positive morale amongst 800 employees for the launch of their newly-minted brand identity.

SOLUTIONS


Leaning on their extensive experience in creating digital renderings of event spaces for clients, metroConnections created a fully interactive virtual conference environment, paired with a professional-quality stage show featuring 20 speakers presenting live on a series of soundstages custom-built by metroConnections at RbA headquarters.
