Project Grammy: The Event Solutions Challenge
Three Days, Three Teams, Three Winning Designs
Published in December 2007 The Idea Factory 2007 in Review







Reality-style competition met the event world for the second year in a row this August, as three teams from around the country undertook challenges based on the upcoming 50th anniversary of the GRAMMY Awards.
Headed up by Branden Chapman, vice president of production and process management for The Recording Academy, and Rex Supa, its senior manager of production and event development, the competition first saw teams presenting a targeted pitch for GRAMMY event business in a real-life scenario. Then the real nail-biting began, as Teams Red, Yellow and Blue used their signature colors, cutting-edge products from the trade show floor and their own ingenuity to create a reception/registration area for the 50th GRAMMY Awards Anniversary event, a tabletop design for the banquet portion of the event, and a stage for the show portion — all within 72 hours.
