FILO Heads to New Orleans for 13th NBA All-Star Jam Session

On Saturday, February 8th FILO Productions, Inc. will embark on a trip for their single largest event of the year: NBA All-Star Jam Session 2014. This year’s Jam Session marks FILO’s 13th year (12th consecutive) managing the NBA’s single largest event of the year. New Orleans, LA hosts this years NBA All-Star festivities. The city and convention center are no stranger to the veterans of FILO Productions. The Ernest N. Morial Convention Center is the 6th largest convention center in the Nation and was host to NBA All-Star back in 2008. FILO veterans Andy Acosta, Brian Buron, Andrew Westphal and Kevin Weinhandl were all a part of that Jam Session.


“It’s actually pretty special and means a lot to me because it was the first ever NBA All-Star Jam Session I ever worked. New Orleans is such a great city. The atmosphere is great and everything is so great around the convention center,” remarked FILO’s Vice President, Andrew Westphal.


Throughout the years, FILO has worked diligently to help prepare for the monstrous event. As an event management agency, FILO will help coordinate trucking and transportation logistics for 17 semi-trucks from the warehouse in Saint Paul, MN, down to New Orleans, LA. A veteran FILO team will help load the trucks in Minnesota, travel down south to the Big Easy and unload all 17 trucks in one day. FILO will continue to set-up a majority of the NBA’s elements within the 1.1 million square foot exhibit space.


Throughout the event, FILO will handle everything from parking to janitorial to distribution and signage. Other management duties include procurement of items for different activation areas, securing a blimp flyer and assisting in the execution of the E-Recycling event taking place outside of the convention center.


The NBA All-Star Jam Session runs from Thursday, February 13 through Sunday, February 16. Hours and other information regarding the spectacle can be found at http://www.nba.com/allstar/.


FILO takes pride in its role for the NBA All-Star Jam Session and believes it’s the finest event they have ever been a part of in their 13-year history.
