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!

DC Area Arthur Murray Studios

The photos from last September’s 2016 Fall Freestyles event are expiring at the TimeLine Media proofing site on Monday. It seems a long time ago, but the photos will be up a little longer. However, after they are removed, you will not be able to see them online any longer. This is the last chance to see them before they are archived. Given that we have some new events scheduled for 2017, we need to make room for them. Thanks to everyone that came by to view and purchase photos from this event! Here is the link:

To complete the dancing for the weekend, professionals from the studios danced 6 great shows. Because I had an accident with spilled milk, I had to make a lighting change. On account of dried milk on my umbrellas, I did not use them this weekend. Overall, I was happy with how these came out! Especially in this large ballroom, I did not see a big difference. This may be my new default setup for ballroom lighting. At this point, the time savings in setting up is worth it. Not to mention, I am not sending more gear into the air. I am looking for to more Arthur Murray events this year!
