FAQs for the Lithy Party:
What’s the dress code?
There is no official dress code - come as you like in what suits you best. However, as this is a celebratory night, you’re likely to see some Lithium folks in cocktail dresses and button downs, and cowboy boots are encouraged. Come as you please; just dress for the beautiful Austin nighttime temperatures.
I’m a Lithy nominee- what should I expect?
All 2018 Lithy nominees will receive VIP treatment for the night…we will honor those nominees throughout the night and on stage. When it's “Lithys Time,” grab a spot near the front of the stage. Check, and double check, your hair, makeup, and wardrobe in case you are called up to stage as one of our esteemed winners! Regardless of the outcome, you and all the nominees are the stars of the night, so get ready to celebrate!
What happens if I win a Lithy?
Twelve elite winners, selected from submissions spanning the globe, will be announced on stage to accept their trophies. If your brand’s name is announced as a winner, march on up to the bright lights on stage to receive your trophy and your rightful applause (but unlike the Oscars, there won't be any speeches necessary!). Right after the awards ceremony concludes, we'll snap a group photo of all the 2018 Lithy winners so be prepared to come back on stage.
I don’t even know what a Lithy is. Should I still attend?
Absolutely. This party is for all Lithium customers, employees and VIPs. You'll be sure to want to participate in the Lithys next year after you get inspired by this year’s nominees. Consider this an opportunity to build personal and professional friendships, a night to enjoy Austin’s finest drinks and eats, and to "be in the room where it happens"!
Should I arrive hungry?
Yes! While it won’t be a sit-down dinner, there will be a variety of heavy hors d’ouevres, interactive food stations and dessert as well as an open bar. We encourage you to bring your appetite and indulge.
Do I need to bring anything?
Just your ID for the check-in desk and your gorgeous self. And of course your smartphone if you'd like to live-tweet the winners!
Is there a cost to attend this bash?
No. There is no cost to attend, but space is limited. So reserve your spot today!
