APN Outdoor and its party division Friends in High Places know how to throw a good party! Which is why CAANZ has invited them back – for the fourth time – to host the official afterparty for the 2015 CAANZ Beacon Awards, at Venue Studio, 340 Karangahape Rd.

The dancing begins immediately following the official awards ceremony on Thursday April 23 at the Viaduct Events Centre (the doors open for drinks at 6.30pm, the show gets under way at 7.30pm, and the formalities should wrap around 9.45pm. Thence to K Rd.

To ensure guests arrive at the afterparty in style, a fleet of Mini Coopers will be on hand to transport partygoers from the Viaduct Events Centre to Studio Venue. The Mini shuttle service will run for one hour from 10pm on a first-in, first-served basis. To receive a complimentary ride guests will need their Friends in High Places Afterparty VIP pass, which they will be given at the awards ceremony.

Friends in High Places will be entertaining hundreds of guests with live performances from DylanC and Gene Rivers. Additionally, guests can experience the latest LED, neon and digital advertising via a showcase of cutting-edge solutions.

This year, CAANZ got APN Outdoor on board following successful events in 2011, 2012 and 2014.

“We were really excited to get the call from CAANZ to take on this year’s Beacons after party,” said APN Outdoor NZ general manager Phil Clemas. “We are committed to supporting the local media and advertising industry and our sponsorship of the after party is an extension of this philosophy.

“Friends in High Places has a track record in entertaining the media industry via a packed calendar of events and we have no doubt that this year’s Beacons afterparty will be the biggest and best yet.”
