ESPY Awards Official After-Party Presented by Miller Lite

For the party’s second year on the Event Deck at L.A. Live, the production team created a strikingly different look and feel. Whereas for the previous two years, the party had evoked an urban loft—with stainless steel bead curtains, metal I-beams structures, exposed truss, and other details—this year, the vibe was more natural and organic. ESPN execs estimated about two thirds of the guests were new to the party this year.

Cisco Live

At Cisco Live in San Francisco in May, attendees reclined on beanbag gaming chairs in the halls of the Moscone Center to watch keynotes, do work, and take breaks. Organizers said they chose this style chair as an "edgier but still functional" alternative to traditional beanbags.
