On this weeks show, Jon talks about elements that a planner can document and verify to improve the quality of the conversation with their potential VA vendors.

Things like loading dock locations, ceiling heights and windows can have an effect on your event and your budget.  So, knowing about them early can be vital to a successful event.

Here's a link to a pdf that was created with some of the basic information you can download it and take it along on your next site survey.

Strategic Meeting Tech Podcast Show #8 - Interview with Brandt Krueger - CMP Conclave Speaker

7/18/2016

0 Comments

 
In this episode of the podcast we talk with one of the presenters who will be at the upcoming CMP Conclave in Baltimore.

Brandt Krueger, the owner of Event Technology Consulting is one of the "go to" speakers in the meetings industry on a variety of AV and technology topics.  He's been published on numerous industry websites, spoken at events ranging from the recent MPI WEC in Atlantic City to last year's CMP Conclave in Reno (and dozens more).  He also currently teaches classes via the Event Leadership Institute.

In this episode we preview his session set for Baltimore on Projection Mapping.  The session will focus on creative uses of video mapping to create amazing effects that come at a reasonable cost compared to some of the multi-million dollar effects we've seen used by major companies like Disney.  He'll provide some great resources and insights into how adding this technology to an event can provide a great return on the costs while creating an unforgettable audience experience.

Here are links to a couple resources that we discuss during the show:
