Capital One HQ – Tysons

Last September, I photographed the 2017 Social Media Week Fairfax event for the Fairfax County Economic Development Authority. Even though this was not the first time I was in this space, it is an impressive meeting area. Concurrently, there was an impressive array of speakers and panelists throughout the event. Hosted by Sarah Fraser, the topics centered around social media and its impact to fulfill marketing missions of organizations. Regardless of what sector you work, social media was making an impact and had many issues to discuss. Speakers included, CEOs, government communications, freelance artists, and other influencers. It was an educational day for me and my small business, and I look forward to the next one!

Tysons Tower Club

The Tysons Chamber held their 2018 Board Installation event last week at the Tower Club. Virginia Case, the Chair of the Board, welcomed members and guests to the breakfast. Since I have worked with Virginia on projects in the Marketing Committee, I was happy to see her taking over the Board!

As can be seen from his frequent appearances in Tysons, Congressman Gerry Connolly is a supporter of the Chamber. Given that the economic engine of the area contributes so much to the Virginia economy, he gives updates frequently here. Similarly issues in the state house are updated by Delegate Mark Keam from Vienna. In short, it is an important ability for the Chamber and its members to have a dialog with these important leaders. Not only will they be helping to give us an outlet to voice concerns, but they keep us updated on the latest issues affecting how we develop our businesses. Best of luck to the incoming board in 2018!

Turkish Coffee Lady Grand Opening

Tysons Corner Center

Late last year, I photographed the Turkish Coffee Lady Grand Opening. Since meeting Gizem White at a booth she had on Black Friday, I have seen her market her shop throughout the mall. At this time, there was a huge crowd ready to wish her well! Not only did she need a microphone so that she could be heard over the noise, but the crowd spilled down the hallways of the mall. Of course her family, and other business owners that helped her along the way were in attendance. However, there were other VIPs that showed their support including the ambassador from Turkey, former congressmen, and Turkish Television. Moreover managers from the mall came to see the festivities and to wish her well. When new people would appear, Gizem was very quick to make sure she spent some time thanking them for coming, and for their support to get her business to this milestone. This will be a nice fixture in this part of the mall!
