Winner of the 2005 Bizbash Event Style Award for:
Best Use of Technology
Mount Sinai 20th anniversary Crystal Ball Gala
Submitted by Scharff Weisberg Inc.
For Mount Sinai Medical Center's May gala, sound designer Steve Sockey of SIA Acoustics worked with Scharff Weisberg Inc. to provide an extensive audio system that was incorporated seamlessly into the event's design. Using velour, a series of 624 acoustical panels hung above the event area, custom rigging, and loudspeakers suspended from a glass ceiling, the team reduced the reverberation of sound inside the center's Cummings Atrium, directing the sound away from the dining area and toward the dance floor.
