There are two Black Tie gala events scheduled. A VIPGala will be held for non-televised award presentations. Presenters and performers from the show, plus celebrity guests will attend making this a high profile event. This is by invitation-only, which allows us to further increase our Sponsor’s visibility by means of logos imprinted on signage at the event itself. Invitees will see our Sponsor’s name prominently displayed on graphics. The second Black-Tie event is a post-event spectacular gala for the performers and special guest attendees. Sponsors co-sponsors will have high visibility again through signage and gift bags, which will given to specific guests. The IJA is very fortunate to have J. Ben Bourgeois on board to make the arrangements. Mr. Bourgeois’s company is globally known for designing and managing some of the world’s outstanding gala events, such as the Los Angeles' Museum of Contemporary Art 25th Year Anniversary, the Louis Vitton Gala, Amex’s Blues Jam Session, Bulgari’s introduction of their Astrale Jewels Collection, and Microsoft’s Gala to name a few.
