Ecolab at the Fairmont

So this is a bit later than usual since I was just in Spain to cover a conference, but just before I left, I got a call to cover the Ecolab event over at the Fairmont Chicago. With more than $6 billion in global sales, Ecolab is the global leader in cleaning, sanitizing, food safety and infection control products and services. [Via Ecolab]

I was completely blown away by the setup for the event (which in essence was a silent auction to raise money for the National Restaurant Association Educational Foundation) - everything and everyone was so polished and it really gave a sense of how important both giving back and providing means for higher education were to Ecolab. The attendees came out, enjoyed the entertainment and remarkable food and contributed generously to the cause - helping raise more than $100,000 for NRAEF in a mere four hour time span.

I had a blast shooting the event and getting a chance to unwind with some of the people behind the event itself afterwards. I'd like to thank Wayne for another opportunity to shoot at the Fairmont, Mark for coming out to help shoot with UMG and everyone we met throughout the night for such a great evening. More to come soon, but for now enjoy the preview photos!
