TEMPE, Ariz. – Each year for the past three, the CCBill and ImLive.com sales, marketing and events teams have engaged in clandestine tête-à-têtes to plan extravagant closing experiences for the annual The Phoenix Forum industry gathering.

The events always exhibit glamorous themes and stunning décor, and food and drinks flow freely. Entertainment, sexy people and festive atmosphere abound. As if all that weren’t enough, the companies give impressive prizes.

According to inside sources, the fourth annual Phoenix Forum Closing Party, to take place April 2, will top them all. Though specifics were not available at post time, the Big Secret is out: the party’s theme is “casino secrets.”

“We are delighted to be throwing this year’s party,” said ImLive representative Shay. “Our longstanding relationship with CCBill continues, and this partnership gives us a great opportunity to throw this big bash together and join all our clients and friends in celebrating.”

CCBill spokesman Gary indicated creating the concept for the 2016 event left more than a few committee members with chewed-off fingernails, but everyone had a great deal of fun.

“We have had a blast partnering our creativity with ImLive’s amazing team to create another party worth staying to enjoy,” Gary said. “From our first Carnivale event to a night of smooth disco and last year’s hot, dark cabaret, we have high expectations to meet.

“This year, we are excited to bring sexy lingerie and private dances together for the 2016 Closing Party,” he added. “Everyone who comes will be happy they did.”

The annual event takes place on the final evening of The Phoenix Forum, so those who wish to attend should stay an extra night. Doors to the party open at 9 p.m., and the show starts at 9:15 p.m. sharp.

“It’ll be a night full of good times, great people, surprises and big prizes,” Shay said. “Pack your glitziest casino-glam outfits.”

The Phoenix Forum 2016 will take place March 31 through April 2 at the Tempe Mission Palms Hotel.
