Snow Much Fun Had at Tech Square Holiday Celebration
Since it’s the season of giving, we wanted to show our appreciation for our amazing community members and tenants. To us, there was no better way to celebrate our community and the holidays than to transform the lobby of Centergy One, The Cantina, and the courtyard into our very own winter wonderland – Tech Square Holiday Party: Snow Much Fun!
With all necessary social distancing and health protocols in place, attendees were invited to partake in all the festivities, which included a live quartet, courtyard carolers, seasonal sweets, toasty fire pits, mulled wine, heavy appetizers, and even a tater tot and cheeseburger slider bar!
There was also themed trivia taking place, where contestants were able to win some amazing gifts. And though we usually like to keep tradition – especially around the holidays – we mixed this one up by awarding anyone who participated in the game a raffle ticket for a chance to win – so you didn’t even have to get the answers correct to get a prize! Of course, we don’t consider it a true activation unless we capture some notable data. Here, we collected all of the trivia questions and calculated the correct responses:
True to form, at Tech Square ATL (TSQATL) Social Club we tackle the tough questions! Only 34 percent of the participants got three or more questions correct and not a single person got all seven right! Additionally, only two questions had more than 50 percent correct answers submitted. Though it is a time to be generous, we clearly didn’t go easy on our community – and for good reason! We’re comprised of extremely smart and talented technologists, researchers, entrepreneurs, startups, students, and corporations who like to be challenged and collaborate together. We wouldn’t expect anything less, and neither would they.
