 Record Concert in Rheims - 500,000 Spectators for a unique Event


Born For Events organized an incredible and unique concert event when world-famous American Opera Diva, Jessye Norman , sung on an outdoor stage specially-built on the square of the sublime Rheims Cathedral to celebrate the “Rebirth of the Sun” at the end of the last total solar eclipse of the Millennium.

More than half-a-million spectators attended this event (in a city of 200,000!).

The event aired live on the number-one French national television Network with more than 9 million viewers in France. This equated to more than 56% of the total audience at that hour , equaling one of the best ratings of the year for the network .

There were television reports of the event in the UK, Japan, Germany, Israel, the Middle East and many other places in the world.

 Brazilian Festival in the Private Yard of the Senate in Paris


Born For Events conceived and organized a fabulous Brazilian live concert in the Official Courtyard of the Senate with a record 13,000 spectators attending.

Thousands more listened from outside.

The Senate opened its doors to the public for this unique, exceptional and surprising event, which was the second major event during the 2005 Music Festival (every year on June 21st ).

Our team flew more than 40 Brazilian artists to Paris for this first-of-a-kind Brazilian Festival, featured in such an exclusive setting.

These artists were joined by a group of more than 200 European Battucada players, who played at the beginning of the event and marched out of the Senate into the streets of Paris to close the event, followed by a crowd of more than 5,000 people!

The success was so extraordinary that the event, one among 20,000 musical events that day, benefited from extensive coverage by most of the national media including television, radio and newspapers.

Fortunately for our clients, most of our public events enjoy the privilege of such coverage.

EXCEPTIONAL PUBLIC EVENTS

 
  Hot Air Balloons at the Feet of the Tour Eiffel for Y2K
 

We also managed the breathtaking hot air balloon event at the Tour Eiffel.
For the first time since they were invented, hot air balloons were flying the Paris skies. 20 huge balloons were set in front of the Tour Eiffel as part of the Official events for the year 2000 .

The public was invited to board the balloons for an initiation, whilst the sponsors received their guests in tents bordering the balloon landing area for lunches and dinners in front of the Tour Eiffel. It was a momentous occasion.

  Los Angeles Month at Galeries Lafayette Event
 

The Galeries Lafayette, the major Parisian Department Store (and the most visited monument in Paris), asked us to develop a recommendation for organizing American events in the store during this exceptional month.

For several months we gave our advice to their services to help them conceive and organize this event, while also coordinating the relations between them and US official services such as the US Embassy, the City of Los Angeles and many other contacts in the United States .

For this unique event, we organized for the exquisite Charolette Richards (the world famous “Wedding Queen of Vegas” who has married a large number of celebrities, and performs wedding ceremonies at her Little White Wedding Chapel) to organize renewal-of-vows ceremonies at the Galeries Lafayette. Charolette's ceremonies have been featured in numerous shows all around the World. For this event, we re-created the decoration of a wedding chapel in the middle of the store and asked Charolette to celebrate renewal-of-vows ceremonies for what happened to be very emotional moments in the Galeries Lafayette.

ROAD SHOWS

 
  The Diamond Train Event Followed by the Diamond Trucks Road Shows
 

Born For Events also organized a major European road show for De Beers, the major Diamond Mines and a major European jewelry Brand. This allowed the public to discover the unique diamonds made available for this unique event by De Beers. And for the brand to benefit from media coverage in addition to meeting clients and prospects in each city. VIP event dinners were organized each evening for the brand's clients and for its clients' top clients.

  The Special Train “Eclipse 99”
 

This road-show was organized aboard a train that traveled all through France during a three-week period, stopping each day in a different city. Thanks to a major national and local advertising campaign, the public was invited to board the train for a free visit.

Aboard the train, a team of twenty-six decorators built a stunning décor in record time for the event.

Each of the more than 150,000 visitors traveled through time and space, learning first about the history of the Sun over the centuries, seeing an Egyptian pyramid and an Aztec solar clock. The visitors then moved on to a reproduction of the Apollo cockpit, listening to the final countdown, before walking on the Moon alongside Neil Armstrong and hearing him say his world-famous, " One step for man, one giant leap for mankind."

The visitors ended their visit in a lifelike reproduction of a little European village, where the darkness at noon was stressful, where you could hear dogs barking to death and learned that birds fell to the ground. The visit then went on to the sponsors' carriages before each guest left the train with a special pair of Eclipse protection glasses.

Thanks to this spectacular road show, not only were we able to directly inform 150,000 visitors, but we met more than 300 journalists aboard the train. This generated unprecedented media coverage and made the phenomenon and its dangers known nationwide.

SPORTS SPECIAL EVENTS

  Pole Vault in the Center of a City
 

Our team had the crazy idea of organizing, once again for Brita (who was unknown in France and had little advertising budgets), for the first time in the history of this sport, a pole vault event in the street. The public was able to watch demonstrations by pole champions who accepted to take the risk on such “unknown grounds” because they were excited by the idea.
