A circular stage was a strategic component to the gala's revised format, putting the night's hosts and live auction in the center of the space. The round platform, which was 20 feet in diameter and raised six feet off the ground, also gave Charity:Ball's signature activity—the 'waterwalk'—a central spot at the event. For every guest that walked the catwalk carrying two Jerry cans, sponsors W Hotels and Toms each donated $250 to water projects in India.

Shiraz Events helped produce Oxygen’s upfront event in New York last year. At the colorful bash, held inside the Penthouse at Dream, the centerpiece was a presentation platform topped with a 25-foot-wide, 14-foot-tall yellow arch embedded with marquee lights. The piece was modular, allowing the team to construct it and break it down in under an hour.
