The event was being held in the grand ballroom on the seventh floor of The Vaughan Group's headquarters.

Normally, this ballroom was reserved for major press conferences or hosting important guests. Tonight, however, it had been transformed into something truly spectacular-towering projection screens, a well-lit stage for speeches, and dozens of round tables where The Vaughan Group's executives mingled with their key partners.
