A Fresh Look for the Landmark Los Angeles Ballroom at Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel


LOS ANGELES, CA (PRWEB) December 05, 2011

The storied Los Angeles Ballroom at Hyatt Regency Century Plaza Hotel Los Angeles is undergoing a $ 1.3 million renovation.

The 25,000 square foot space, one of the largest ballrooms in Los Angeles, and its upscale Century City address have made it the preferred choice for VIP galas, celebrity gatherings, social events and corporate functions for more than 45 years.

Even in the days when high speed referred to sports cars and spaceships, Century Plaza was the preferred location for important events, says the Los Angeles area hotels General Manager Scott Allen. President Ronald Regan celebrated his Election Day victory here, and President Bill Clinton delivered the keynote speech to the National Education Association, with Elton John and Rod Stewart later performing on stage. It was here that President Richard Nixon hosted a Dinner of the Century honoring the Apollo XI astronauts, attended by 50 members of Congress, 44 state governors and ambassadors from 83 countries.

The renovated meeting areas at the Beverly Hills hotel, which will debut in January 2012, will feature all new carpet, paint and wall coverings throughout the California Level which includes the renowned 25,000 square foot Los Angeles Ballroom, the 23,000 square foot California Showroom exhibition space and a series of break out rooms totaling 7,500 square feet of event and meeting space. Furthermore, a complete overhaul of the hotels original 1966 chandeliers will increase lighting and provide better visibility throughout the space.

The renovation is being masterminded by Design 360 Unlimited based in Santa Monica, California, who found inspiration for the new design in the works of Ernst Haeckle, a late 19th century zoology professor known for his detailed illustration of organic forms.

We combined some designs reminiscent of floral and coral structures, said Dean Singer, President, Design 360. But, we also included some modern shapes to add a more contemporary spin that will enliven and energize the space.

The new design will utilize orange and mango tones with blue, gray and white accents, and is being carefully designed to present a more contemporary energy, while still maintaining a consistency with the carpeting and design of Century Plazas other function space, located on the Plaza Level.

The25,000 square foot Los Angeles Ballroom at Hyatt Regency Century Plaza, which boasts soaring 17-foot ceilings, can accommodate interactive presentations of up to 2,100 in a theater-style set up, or a seated banquet for 1,800 guests. The Los Angeles Ballroom also easily divides into three sections, ideal for classroom-style lectures or smaller receptions.

The adjoining California Lounge serves as the perfect pre-function area or individual function space, with capacity of up to 1,000 guests.

Also located on the California Level, the 23,000-square-foot California Showroom exhibition hall is designed to accommodate trade shows; the venue can accommodate up to 155 8′x10′ booths, or 116 10′x10′ booths. The room also converts to a reception hall, with banquet-style seating for 2,000.

A group of meeting rooms alongside the ballroom and pre-function space, the California Rooms, are designed to host any number of functions and configurations, with capacity from 18 to 300.

In total, the Beverly Hill hotel has more than 100,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor reception and ballroom space on three levels. High-speed Internet access is available in all guestrooms and meeting rooms and the property boasts more than 200 data ports.

Meeting professionals booking an event at Century Plaza are always assigned a private meetings concierge, a full time and dedicated staff member, who ensures that all last-minute details and needs are serviced efficiently from the floor.

Last-minute business needs are a cinch at the Beverly Hills hotels Business Center (open Monday Saturday), which provides fax services, color copying, Fed Ex pickup, and high-speed internet access computer stations.

20-first’s 2011 Global Gender Balance Scorecard: Where the World’s Top 300 Companies Stand


London (PRWEB UK) 5 December 2011

The Core Metric: The Executive Committee

Recent studies have drawn attention to the lack of gender balance on boards. Now, consultancy 20-first publishes its tertiary annual Global Gender Balance Scorecard to shine a light on the progress being made within the worlds TOP 300 companies. “This survey invites you to look deeper into companies, and to use metrics that distinguish between those serious about gender balance from the rest,” says Avivah Wittenberg-Cox, CEO of 20-first, and author of HOW Women Mean Business.

Key Findings

US Leads. The US leads the way with 59% of companies having at least two women on their Executive Committees. However, upon closer inspection the picture is not quite so rosy. Of the 1,227 Executive Committee members of Americas Top 100 companies, only 205 (or 17%) are women and 1022 (or 83%) are men. The majority of these female Executive Committee members are in staff or support positions (145, or 12% of total) such as HR, Communications or Legal, whereas only 60 women (or 5% of total) are in line or operational roles.

Europe Struggles. With only 20% of companies having at least two women on their Executive Committees, the overall picture shows that European companies are still struggling to make progress in gender balancing their top teams. Of the 938 Executive Committee members of Europes Top 100 companies, only 78 (or 8%) are women and 860 (or 92%) are men. Again most of these women (56, or 6% of total) are in staff or support roles. Only 22 women (or 2% of total) are in line or operational roles.

Asia Lags. With only 4% of companies having at least two women on their Executive Committee, the overall picture is one of significant imbalance. Indeed, compared to the 926 men (98%) on Executive Committees in Asia, there are only 14 women in staff roles (1.5% of total) and a mere 6 women in line or operational roles (,6% of total).

The 6 Phases of the Gender Journey:

The survey presents companies along the spectrum of six phases on gender balance:

1. Asleep – Some companies haven’t even started the journey; we put them in our ‘Asleep’ category. These companies are still, in 2011, run by an exclusively male team.

2. Token – Many companies have appointed a ‘Token’ woman to the team, or sometimes two, but in any case less than 15% of the Executive Team. And in this category, she is in a staff or support function rather than a line or operational role. This is a key distinction for companies interested in creating sustainable and effective role modelling.

3. Starting Smart – Next are the ‘Starting Smart’ companies. They also only have a single woman, or less than 15%, but she is in a central core or operational role, or is even CEO, and so offers a better role model to get companies started on the journey.

4. Progressing – Moving right along, are companies that have progressed beyond a single representative of the female sex, and have achieved a male / female balance between 85/15 and 75/24. These companies are beginning to render visible at senior levels the investment they have made in building their talent pipelines over the previous decade.

5. Critical Mass – These are companies that have achieved a male/female ratio of at least 75/25. This is the level at which the women on the team – and their views – are no longer seen as minority representatives, but as integral parts of the talent and executive pool.

6. Balanced – Is for the extremely rare companies that have achieved gender balance, with a minimum 40% of either gender on the Executive Team. This is where the gender journey ends, and where balance at the top begins to reflect the reality of 21st century customers, leadership and talent and gives companies the competitory edge to innovate and deliver value sustainably and globally.
