Carlyle Global investor Conference

FIRST partnered with Carlyle, building on a decade-long trusted relationship, to transform its annual Investor Conference into a multi-day global hybrid experience that elevated both in-person and virtual engagement. Reimagining a 30,000 sq. ft. raw venue into a modern, tech-forward hub centered around Carlyle’s NYC office, FIRST delivered a high-touch networking environment featuring immersive stage design, multi-camera broadcast capabilities, curated breakout sessions, and premium hospitality moments. The event seamlessly integrated sustainability at scale, achieving zero waste in food and beverage operations while deploying 120 staffers for end-to-end global execution. With over 1,000 attendees participating across channels, strong engagement, overwhelmingly positive feedback, and a Silver People’s Choice Award at the 2023 Eventex Awards, the conference successfully reinforced Carlyle’s innovation and leadership positioning on a global stage.
