New Layout

Guests entered the event underneath a large marquee and through a red-carpet area flanked by movie theater-style posters from past Robin Hood events.

Layers of signs—printed, constructed, and digital—mimicked the cityscape of New York and communicated the foundation's message

Solo dancers were positioned on platforms throughout the cocktail space.

Other groups of dancers performed on platforms with dramatic backgrounds, including one depicting the New York skyline. To transition to cocktails, the dancers joined in a single high-energy performance and led guests to the dinner space.

The dining space had 370 tables set up in the round. "I won't be so bold to say it's intimate. But it doesn't feel like as much of a football field," Stark said. He described the layout as almost like four 1,000-person dinners since the event has four separate kitchens, each located in a different quadrant of the area.

Three-sided mini marquee centerpieces offered messages of gratitude and celebrated the organization's 30th anniversary.

Jennifer Lopez was the headlining entertainment.

Audiovisual elements—in Robin Hood's signature green hue—were part of the production for Lopez's set.

Element’s “Balancing Act” featured a living wall of moss and greenery with letters spelling out the eco-conscious brand’s tagline. The floor mimicked a natural bike path with wood chips and grass. Three green bicycles were mounted in front of the greenery as a photo op for attendees.
