Valo Park – Tysons, VA

The TEDxTysons group held a salon event at Valo Park in Tysons. Producing Creativity in the Moment was the title of the salon. In contrast to their main event from last year, this had a smaller audience by design. Also, there were fewer presentations. However, the talks were still impactful and very-well polished. The team really crafted another kind of event to build on their main event from last year.

Given that the organizers do not want the content of talks to be known before the event, no one comes in with pre-formed ideas. In fact, it is one of the attractions of attending in person. On this occasion, I was excited about what was going to happen. As a photographer, I come to every shoot not knowing exactly what kind of images I am going to make. Although I have a basic technical knowledge to work my cameras, it is impossible to pre-visualize everything that I need to produce. ‘Producing Creativity in the Moment’ sounded right up my alley.

If you were in the room, the interactivity in the last presentation really brought this idea home. The presentation by Chris Ulrich ended with an exercise. The noise and energy created in that moment was so spontaneous and sweeping that you could not have expected that outcome when you arrived! I hope the photos do it justice. TEDxTysons shared the entire set on their page.

Tysons Tower Club

The Tysons Chamber held their 2017 Board Installation event last month at the Tower Club. Similarly to their mixer, board members and supporters went to the Tower Club. Peg McDermott, the Chair of the Tysons Chamber will lead the group in 2017.

Although there is a lot happening in state and federal politics, some VIPs found time to attend. Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring spoke at the event. He gave a perspective of the statewide economy. Congressman Gerry Connolly sent a representative. Alex read the proclamation about the Tysons Chamber entered into the Capitol Hill record. After Peg spoke to energize the members, a short swearing-in ceremony was performed.

Afterwards, there was plenty of time for networking. While it may be true that this is a growing Chamber, the surrounding area is well developed. In networking after the event, the energy was tangible. On one hand the Chamber is poised to grow. On the other hand, growing the reach of the Chamber is a priority.

Business Growth Workshop

Of course the large events at the Tower Club were not the only ones on the calendar. Business Growth Workshops are a monthly occurrence. So I attended one from Impact Business Solutions. So far as I can see, joining the Tysons Chamber has been a good decision!

Tysons Tower Club

With the changing of the calendar, I have decided to join the Tysons Chamber of Commerce. Given that I was introduced to the organization by the TEDxTysons group, I was impressed with the members. Following some discussions with other business owners, I decided to have TimeLine Media join this year. In light of my membership, I went to the 2017 January mixer at the Tysons Tower Club. At the mixer, guest speakers Brad Edwards and Darrel Green addressed the attendees to explain their new roles. They are former members of the Washington Redskins and played during the winning years! Now, they are in the athletic department at George Mason University. Even if their playing days are behind them, they were popular personalities at the mixer.
