With a theme nodding to the 1999 film, the event was a milestone in philanthropy, raising upward of $68 million this year—all while serving as a case study in brand storytelling.

The event space was inspired by NYC above the clouds, as seen through the black-and-white coloring and LED screens displaying the tops of iconic buildings. Signage also displayed “/imagine,” which was meant to be symbolic of an artificial intelligence command to serve as “a metaphor for what we can achieve together,' according to executive producer Lindsay Carroll.
