This week's roundup includes Swarovski's bedazzled ice pop at the jewelry brand's pop-up in Vancouver; a fairytale-theme candy house at Canadian Opera Company's Operanation benefit; goat yoga at C2 Montréal; and Moet & Chandon's augmented-reality vending machine photo booth in San Diego. 

Swarovski No Regrets Pop-Up
Swarovski No Regrets Pop-Up
In anticipation of the start of summer, Swarovski held a colorful consumer pop-up May 22 to 26 at Pacific Design Centre in Vancouver. The pop-up featured Instagram-worthy visuals and photo areas, including a branded bicycle. The pink and turquoise bike held props and faux ice cream cones covered in the brand’s new summer pieces. Swarovski produced and designed the pop-up in house.

Constellation Energy Activation at P.G.A. Championship
Constellation Energy Activation at P.G.A. Championship
For the 101st P.G.A. Championship, which took place at Bethpage Black Golf Course in Long Island, New York, earlier this month, Lacy Maxwell Experiential was brought in by CAA to produce an activation for Constellation, the official energy partner of the event. The activation featured 50,000 colorful golf tees, which attendees could symbolically place in front of a pledge wall. For every pledge, Constellation donated $10 (and up to $50,000) to Solar One N.Y.C., a sustainable education resource.

The Canadian Opera Company’s 15th annual fund-raising gala took place May 16 at the Four Seasons Centre for the Performing Arts. To complement the event’s whimsical fairytale theme, the Canadian Opera Company’s props department designed a candy house, which featured a facade with marshmallows from the Sweet Retreat.

C2 Montréal
The eighth edition of international business conference C2 took place May 22 to 24 at Grandé Studios. One of the first C2 Village experiences guests encountered was goat yoga, which was held at the Community Garden by Facebook. Along with yoga sessions, guests could also use the space to relax and pet (or take selfies with) goats. See more: 16 Creative Highlights From a Revamped C2 Montréal

C2 Montréal
C2 Montréal
The Alter Ego lab asked attendees to break away from how they perceive themselves, with the goal of making bolder decisions. The three-step experience was held in a mirrored, infinity-style space. Attendees were invited to connect with their alternate persona; develop the character’s identity by drawing on the mirror; and finally, embody their new alter ego.

C2 Montréal
C2 Montréal
Montréal is known as a city of arts and creativity, and this was exemplified with a group of roving acrobats that “inhabited” the three-day conference. Performance troupe the Spirits appeared from the ceiling throughout the event, dressed in 19th-century industrial attire that paid homage to Grandé Studios’ history. The venue is located on the grounds of the former Grand Trunk Railway yards and shops, which opened in the mid-1850s and was once home to the largest train repair shop in Canada.
