LG Innovators' Ball

In honor of the new exhibition “Beyond Planet Earth: The Future of Space Exploration,” the sixth annual gala had a retro "Fly Me to the Moon" theme, designed by McNabb Roick Events. In the dining room, retro rocket ships acted as centerpieces with red and orange flowers standing in as a "flame" at the base.
