All eyes have been on political events in the last couple of weeks as the Republican National Convention first took over Cleveland July 18 through 21, followed by the Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia July 25 through 28. Naturally, companies such as tech and media brands tagged along to those cities—some traveling to activate in both places in sequence—for events and experiences. Those provided an array of lively ideas for catering, decor, staging, activities, and more.
