How it 
started

How might we leverage Cisco’s message of speed and momentum for their 20,000 sales representatives by encapsulating the theme’s energy in imagery and a single shared moment in order to create a sense of unity and community?

How it 
went

A sequence of acoustic guitar stylings, singing and beatboxing escalated into astronaut Mark Kelly’s speaking the words “because if you’re not moving at full speed, you’re not going anywhere,” when a seat-shaking “sonic boom” erupted in the arena, supported by a mobile video effect on all attendees’ devices as every single one of the attendees’ lanyards began pulsating with color (via programmable LED Xylobands)
