The event of the year took place in Niagara Falls over the weekend of September 16th, and it wouldn't have been made possible without our incredible attendees and sponsors! THANK YOU!
What did we do all weeked? Here's a glimpse...
- Hosted a Young Agents Night Out where over 100 young agents networked, indulged in Anchor Bar chicken wings and played old-school arcade games.
- Held a Leadership Dinner with our NYS Board Members and event Sponsors at the Top of the Falls restaurant - a beautiful restaurant with amazing views of the Falls - followed by a spectactular fireworks show over the Falls themselves!
- Installed John Costello as Big "I" Chair of the Board - the first from NYS in over 50 years! He was installed by his two sons, making it extra special.
- Listened to Ben Nemtin - the Luncheon keynote speaker - talk about living life to the fullest and encouraging us to dream big and create our own bucket lists.
- Hosted a Celebrate New York dinner featuring food from around the state, a dessert reveal, and a special surprise performance by Downbeat Percussion (the official drumline for the Buffalo Bills!) which blew everyone away, but most importantly John - the biggest Buffalo Bills fan we know!
- Ended the weekend's festivities with the After-Party of the century! Complete with Central Park-style caricature artists, open bar, a 360 degree video booth, lots of NYS bites (think wings, pizza, NY-style cheesecake, half-moon cookies, and more), and an amazing concert by Rochester-based band JunkYardFieldTrip. Not only is the band John's favorite, but he joined them on stage for a few songs and the crowd went wild!
Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make these events possible. They will certainly go down in Big I NY history! |
