Employee Event
Carnival Rides Rental
CHALLENGE
Create an engaging, enjoyable event at the L. A. corporate headquarters campus for employees, family and friends that celebrates the company’s outstanding achievements.

SOLUTION
“Summerfest” – a full-blown, day-long carnival, with hints of Fair and concert, that sprawled across the Amgen 25-acre campus to the delight of more than 17,000 visitors.

The design and production team provided Amgen with end-to-end services, including:
- The complete carnival experience, replete with full-scale amusement park-style carnival rides rental
- An arcade-like environment with interactive games
- Multiple “satellite” stages for on-going entertainment and musical performances
- Numerous food and beverage stations
- HVAC-equipped Comfort Stations – restrooms, First Aid and on-site medical assistance

RESULT
17,000 nods of approval, a happy client and a signed contract to repeat “Summerfest” the following year.
