The Power Ball, held at the Power Plant Contemporary Art Gallery in Toronto on June 4, did not have a typical bar setup. Instead, bartenders sat in theater chairs, wearing tuxedos and holding bottles that were ready to be poured. There were also staffers throwing potato chips from the rafters, and guests threw back pieces of bread, cheese, and meat. Partygoers could also snip pieces of octopus from a chandelier hanging overhead.
Instead of a traditional plated dinner, V.I.P. guests got an entirely different experience: an interactive experience from food artist Jennifer Rubell. Hands appeared through holes in the table, serving guests one morsel at a time.
Each year organizers create a variety of lounges where attendees can watch a simulcast of speakers. New this year was a ball pit filled with beanbag chairs and beach balls.
