Interscape’s 11th Annual ICE Party draws nearly 200 for a night of celebration and networking

Farmington, CT On Thursday, September 7, Interscape Commercial Environments (Interscape) opened its doors for the 11th Annual ICE Party, its signature appreciation event held for clients, colleagues and network partners. Among those in attendance were architects, designers, contractors, real estate brokers and facility managers, as well as manufacturer’s reps from some of the firm’s key product lines, including Teknion, Interscape’s flagship brand.

Guests were treated to a fun evening on the patio adjacent to Interscape’s offices, with live music and hors d’oeuvres. As a thank you to attendees, gifts of ties and scarves with the firm’s signature orange color were given to mark the occasion. 

“The ICE Party is an opportunity for the construction industry to come together and celebrate the great projects we’ve all collaborated on throughout the year,” said Josh Hagstrom, co-founder of Interscape. “This year’s event drew a record-setting crowd and we’re grateful for the opportunity to celebrate our clients, colleagues and partners by hosting this party each year.”
