The main speaker area—a.k.a. the Baller Room—had a colorful stage designed with architectural elements. As the only room to hold all 850 attendees, organizers added several video screens so everyone had a good view.

One of three stage areas—dubbed Hustle Hall—was designed as a theater in the round, allowing guests to get closer to the speakers. In the front row were couches and lounge chairs. "It’s really inviting; people wanted to hang out there for hours," said Balestrieri.

The Boston Purple Party 2018
In November, Tyger Productions transformed the Cyclorama at the Boston Center for the Arts into a sparkling purple space for the Boston Purple Party 2018, benefiting the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. The gala's co-chair Ty Kuppig of Tyger Productions and his team suspended floor-to-ceiling panels of reflective paillettes to create a more intimate setting within the large venue.
