In July 2015 "The Venture" project, sponsored by Chivas Regal culminated in San Francisco at Fort Mason Herbst Pavillion and event producers the projects* reached out to John Murray productions to assist with scenic design, production, and fabrication services.
The challenge was turning Herbst pavilion into a fully interactive event space for the final pitch from 16 finalists from a group of over 1000 promising social entrepreneurs who strive to make a positive, scalable impact on the lives of others.
The solution was to partition the pavilion into separate areas which included reception, an interactive exhibit area complete with 16 display boxes for finalists to display their product/startup ideas, an in-the-round presentation stage complete with tiered seating platforms for each finalist to make their "final pitch" and an after party/chivas bar area for after show drinks and networking.
