DEREK DE VETTE | EXEC EVENT PRODUCER & SHOW DIRECTOR

SkyBright Agency was founded by Derek De Vette, veteran PR agent, live event and entertainment Producer-Director.   A member of the World Experience Organization (WXO), De Vette ranks globally among the Top 23 Most Influential People on the Value of Exceeding Expectations. His work has appeared in Forbes, the LA Times, Wall Street Transcript, Billboard, LA/HOME,   Inc. (500), Motorcycle World,  BET,  and MTV.

I have an insatiable urge to make any event or client’s brand bigger, better. To work tirelessly to add more sizzle, art, creativity, music, food, lighting, and any sensory experience possible to make it stand out as best of breed. When you can surprise attendees with unexpected touches or details that they don’t expect to find, I call these Easter Eggs. I am obsessed with creating these in anything we produce.

Michael Schreibman is SkyBright’s weapon of mass production. The company’s in-house logistics ninja, he can scale, staff, and organize any tournament, race, fair, or festival from 2,000 to 120,000 attendees. This includes tents, structures, staging, power, booths, rentals, food trucks, sanitation, water & parade barricades, fire & safety inspectors, police, security, street closures, et al.  A small sampling of his Shreibman's includes the Grammy Awards, Harley-Davidson Love Ride Festival, Sherman Oaks Street Fair, Ronnie James Dio Stand Up and Shout for Cancer Ride, and the Sandford International PGA Tour in Sioux Falls.

Heading up the Grand Galas & Parties team is a 30-year international events producer and Creative Director, Patricia Frey.  From posh Hollywood parties to 6,000+ attendee tented galas, Mrs. Frey skillfully weaves and coordinates thousands of tiny details with the grace of a  symphony conductor. 

Each time I select a napkin fold, create the landscape of a table, select a lighting mood and colors, hire entertainers, search out the perfect venue and design its environment or meticulously schedule the activities of an event — each and every one of these has its roots somewhere in the weavings of my life. I welcome you to discover us for your next special event and become a part of these rich weavings. -Patricia Frey
