Valo Park – Tysons, VA

Envisioning the future is important for the plans for Tysons. With this in mind, the Tysons Chamber created a new signature event, the 2017 Tysons 2050. At this time the event was separated into Live, Work and Play sections. Community leaders in these areas talked about how they see Tysons in light of the decisions being made today.

Valo Park was a perfect venue to illustrate a vision of the future. After all the region is growing quickly in 2017. Moreover it could be a metropolis 33 years into the future. In the vendor area, high technology companies displayed new products. Together with the speakers, this sparked interesting conversations in the venue. With attention to the future, I felt privileged to be documenting the evening. Regardless of how things look in 2050, events like this will keep the long view shorter as we roll along.

Barns of Wolf Trap

Lessons Learned was the newest TEDxTysons salon event. Prior to the night of the event, I visited the space with other volunteers. Since I had never been to the Barns of Wolf Trap before, this was a good move. As a venue, this was a particularly appropriate site for their talks. Not only do they have a fully-equipped stage, but they have a food and reception area just outside the auditorium.

Speakers – Lessons Learned – TEDxTysons

When the show started, it was immediately apparent that this was stage ready for productions. Stage lighting and perfect acoustics elevated the TEDx experience for the audience. In contrast to the other venues that were in corporate locations, this felt like a production in a cinema. The presenters talked about learning from mistakes, overcoming failures, and enduring loss. In general, the speakers really engaged through authentic stories, inspiring outcomes, and a little humor! Check the TEDxTysons site for the videos that will be released soon.

Tysons Chamber

Last month, I photographed the Tysons Chamber 2017 Breakfast Near Tiffanys event. On this occasion the Woman’s Leadership Committee held this networking meeting at Chef Geoff’s in Tysons. Being that it is next to the Tiffany’s location, the title was perfect!

Although this is a new event from other’s that the Chamber produces, it had a nice friendly feeling. The room was packed, so I tried to work as quiet as I could all things considered. Due to the full tables, and scant room to move, I did not stay there for the speakers. Besides being a distraction, I did not want my shutter to take away from the presentation.

In addition to the business presentations, breakfast, and networking, this was about shopping! Chef Geoff’s is located adjacent to the beautiful Tiffany’s jewelry store. Many of the attendees took advantage of their early opening to continue the event there.
