FAQs

Attire: Dress to Impress, or not! There are no rules this year. The Gala platform is a one-way visual stream.
Virtual Red Carpet/Photo Booth: Speaking of attire, we have incorporated many interactive elements for our Gala. We created a Virtual Red Carpet with a digital Photo Booth. Please commemorate this historic first with The ELC and click the Photo Booth button on the platform. Follow the prompts for a fabulous photo. Share your photos on social media with the #ELCGALA hashtag.
Afterset: Join us at the “Afterset” featuring the incomparable hip hop artist, Doug E. Fresh! There’s no need to leave the Gala platform. Just turn up the volume on your device, move that coffee table and let the rhythm take you to the dance floor in your home!
