Orion Ascent 2025
Orion Ascent 2025 united 1,800 financial industry professionals managing $1.1 trillion in assets across 3.3 million accounts.
An Opening that Ascended to New Heights
The event opened spectacularly with a collaboration between Proscenium and The 7 Fingers circus company. The performance reached its climax as teeterboard artists soared 20’ high, executing stunning aerial maneuvers. Both the athletes in the video and the live performers transformed from black and white to vibrant full color synchronized with video content and music.
Using AI To Enhance Creativity
Minutes before doors to one of our general sessions, Proscenium received a last minute ask for some game show music. Using the AI-powered Suno, we were able to “compose” original music, exactly to our specifications in no time at all. This is a great example of how we are using AI to add value to our events.
“ALL IN” All Over
The "ALL IN" theme was central throughout, from CEO Natalie Wolfsen's keynote to Dr. Daniel Crosby's personality study examining five aspects of commitment.
Key achievements included:
- 20% growth in attendance year-over-year
- 96% satisfaction rate for general sessions
- 500+ cross-sell opportunities
- 15 top-tier media articles
Attendee feedback praised both the educational value and entertainment, particularly highlighting the acrobatic performances and CEO's keynote.
