FiveCurrents Produções Criativas and GEO Eventos have formed a partnership to produce major events in Brazil.
For GEO Eventos, the partnership with FiveCurrents is strategic for developing world-class sports and entertainment events. “GEO is proud to have by its side such an experienced partner like FiveCurrents, who serves as the production company behind the ceremonies of the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, and the international conferences of the Clinton Global Initiative. Partnering shows how strongly committed we both are to producing inspiring events in Brazil,” said Leonardo Ganem, general director for GEO Eventos.
“Rio de Janeiro is a very special city for FiveCurrents. From producing the 2007 Pan American Games Ceremonies, through the bid for the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games, FiveCurrents remains deeply committed to bringing the beauty of Rio and Brazil to a global audience. FiveCurrents’ experience, combined with GEO Eventos’ national production capability, creates a solid team ready to create flagship events,” said Scott Givens, president of FiveCurrents.
FiveCurrents GEO, with its headquarters in Rio de Janeiro, is committed to revolutionary event production in Brazil. The partnership between the two companies comes at a historic moment, when Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and South America welcome FIFA World Cup 2014, and the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games for the first time.
