GetGlobal
Get Global is the summit for international business expansion. The annual conference brings together dynamic mix of global business executives, industry experts, governmental and NGO resources, and business partners to provide networking and tools to facilitate international business growth.
Expansion into foreign markets can pose significant challenges but the rewards can be great given that we live in an increasingly globalized world where ideas and goods flow freely. GetGlobal helps companies find the right resources and partners to succeed.
The two-day conference is a mix of keynote presentations, panel discussions, breakouts, and roundtables discussions. In 2019, GetGlobal took a big leap by expanding in its own right with a move to the Seaside Ballrooms of the Long Beach Convention Center. Over 1,000 attendees registered, with over 40 sponsors participating and 14 exhibiting.
This is the third year that Empire has been responsible for producing GetGlobal. Empire works year year-round with the GetGlobal staff to secure the venue and design the flow of the event within the venue. We coordinate all in-venue AV and food and beverage, set up credentialing systems, and design and manage the graphic look of all the spaces. Empire also assists with logistics for all speakers and presenters, room managers, and exhibitors to make sure the conference runs smoothly.

Guests received their first taste of technological innovation at registration, where they were welcomed by name on a reactive LED screen installation covering the full width of the entry wall. A large lunch café was created with a décor scheme that incorporated custom-built, ceiling-high steel LED frames draped with foliage to create smaller, intimate restaurant-style spaces that displayed both technology and nature.
A series of breakout sessions presented content targeted to attendees’ varied interests, while imagery displayed throughout the venue showcased real-life applications of how products designed to empower developers help to unleash the power of data and reimagine possibilities that will improve our world.
Every element of Microsoft Connect(); from registration, breakfast and keynote, to lunch and evening cocktails, were custom-designed to communicate exacting brand messaging and to deliver a high-touch guest experience to this important audience. The keynote and breakout sessions were livestreamed through an onsite studio built for this purpose and content was watched online by millions around the world.
Empire is proud to collaborate with Microsoft on this annual, top-tier business communication event.
