Last night IDG Communications leading publication and brand, CIO, got some extra excitement and positive buzz at their annual CIO Networking event at The Art Gallery of NSW in Sydney.

The goals of the CIO Networking event included: to education, to facilitate networking and business opportunities and to do it in a creative, stimulating and entertaining environment (that's where Human Statue dancers and statue performers came in). The dancers, some of which were painted to compliment surrounding paintings in the gallery. By all accounts, the dancers numerous rehearsals over the past weeks paid dividends, with special guests and management being suitably impressed with the quality of the entertainment. Over 100 special guests attended the networking event and the performers received plenty of compliments from the executives and event organisers. The dancers and statues were prepared off-site, as per contract specification, and they were brushed up and giving final finishing touches on-site at the gallery. Only the finest bodypaint materials and special effects were used, to maintain the high standards of both the client and the creative arts company. Ms Rinaldi said "We were delighted to create and deliver our entertainment, human statue and creative arts package for our valued client, IDG Communications. The CIO Networking event is one of their biggest events of the year, we are all very pleased that the job went ahead as planned and was delivered to spec and on budget. I'm very grateful to everyone who helped put together this event, from management, business partners, the talent, creative and beyond. This event followed our highly successful Australasian Law Awards event at Sydney Town Hall, and we're all very excited about the future of our company and clients.
