On October 29, WSJ. Magazine held its 16th annual Innovator Awards, the glittering New York ceremony that honors the people reshaping culture, design, technology and entertainment. This year’s class spanned music, film, fashion, sports, and AI, with honorees including singer Rosalía, actor and producer Amy Poehler, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis, filmmaker Martin McDonagh, author Marlon James, designer Matthieu Blazy, and the Savannah Bananas. The red carpet drew a crowd to match, with guests like Dua Lipa, A$AP Rocky, Cara Delevingne, and Ciara turning out to celebrate the honorees.

Behind every seamless night like this is a team behind the sences making it look effortless. This year, that included colleagues across the Dow Jones business. The Dow Jones Communications team caught up with two of them on the big night: Becca Alifimoff, senior social and platform editor working the red carpet and Krystle Lawson, senior manager integrated marketing, who walked us through the space before the doors opened.

By the time the first guest steps onto the carpet, the hardest work is already done. Becca spent the evening in the middle of it all: mic in hand and catching honorees for candid moments that make the night feel alive.

Hours before the lights and the crowd, the venue tells a different story. Krystle took us through it while it was still quiet, the calm before a room transforms into the setting for one of the year’s standout events
