The 112th NAACP Virtual National Convention and 43rd ACT-SO National Competition
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has long been the pre-eminent civil rights organization in the United States. Their annual National Convention brings together social activists, industry leaders, public servants, and the general public to share experiences and ideas and discuss solutions on affecting positive change in black communities across the country.
In 2020, Pico’s Infinity Marketing Team (IMT) played a key role in taking the Convention online for the first time in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The event successfully won a Gold in ‘Best Diversity Campaign’ and a Silver in ‘Best Virtual Event or Experience’ at the 2021 PRO Awards.
In 2021, IMT was again entrusted as lead production partner to make the 112th NAACP Virtual National Convention and 43rd ACT-SO (Afro-Academic, Cultural, Technological and Scientific Olympics) National Competition an even more engaging experience for all participants.

Virtual Tour Exhibition – Ink Global 2021
Kicking off on Christmas Day 2021, the ‘Ink Global 2021’ exhibition was conceived as a vehicle to promote ink art and foster cross-pollination of ink art cultures. Held at the Hong Kong Central Library, it featured more than 500 ink paintings from around the world in five display categories: ‘Portraits’, ‘Flowers and Birds’, ‘Landscape’, ‘Animals’ and ‘Modern Ink’.
Due to new social distancing requirements, the physical exhibition came to a premature halt. With Pico’s help, it was quickly transformed into a virtual exhibition tour which enabled online visitors from around the world to experience and learn about ink artwork immersively.
