The Polynesian Paradise Party is Tuesday eveningâs event and will be held in the conference hotelâs Pool Terrace and Miramar Gardens from 18:00 to 21:00. Sponsored by .CO, this party will feature Polynesian music, dancers and cocktails. There will also be a worst Hawaiian shirt contest.
The Golden Era of Hollywood Party at SkyBar isWednesday eveningâs event, sponsored by VeriSign, will be held at the Mondrian Hotelâs famous SkyBar on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood from 20:00 to 23:00. The party will feature music from the Golden Era, cigarette/candy girls, and classic black and white movies projected onto the building facade.
There there is DomainSponsorâs Third Annual Autism Fundraiser at the Playboy Mansion.
