2017 EMMY® AWARDS GOVERNORS BALL CELEBRATES EXCELLENCE IN GOLDEN GRANDEUR THEME TELEVISION AND INTEGRATES SUSTAINABILITY INTO
NoHo Arts District, CA (September 7, 2017) – The Television Academy today revealed
Golden Grandeur as the theme of its exclusive Emmy® after-party celebrations: the
Governors Ball on Sunday, September 17 immediately following the 69th Emmy Awards
telecast; and, back-to-back Creative Arts Governors Ball events on Saturday,
September 9 and Sunday, September 10.
“The 2017 Governors Ball and Creative Arts Governors Ball events will set the gold
standard in terms of elegance and environmental sustainability – verifying the two
concepts can be compatible,” said Governors Ball Committee Co-Chair, Barbara Cassel.
The trio of Emmy Awards after-parties will bring Golden Grandeur to life within an epic,
dazzling and contemporary setting, punctuated by a gilded overhead art installation,
forming a sea of undulating golden waves and spanning the length and breadth of the
ballroom.
“All décor and food elements for the Governors Ball and Creative Arts Governors Ball
events are either recyclable, repurposed or bio-degradable,” added Ed Fassl, Governors
Ball Committee Co-Chair. “All the elements will come together to create an inspiring and
unforgettable experience for our guests.”
Event producer Cheryl Cecchetto of Sequoia Productions shared, “Celebrating our 20th
consecutive year producing the Governors Ball, Sequoia Productions challenged
ourselves to deliver an unprecedented, ultra-modern theme, including cutting-edge
design and a commitment to environmental sustainability.”
