The Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago's Groundbreaking Ceremony
In 2013, AgencyEA produced a groundbreaking ceremony for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago. The event took place under a tent, where so-called "satellite troughs" of dirt allowed several guests to participate in the ceremonial groundbreaking. Guests who participated included executives and other V.I.P. attendees.
