[SML] USITT panel; Theater vs. Corporate events. Same but not

[Dan Ayers]

Scott

Just catching up on the list,

Currently I'm managing events for a University where I have Ballrooms,
Meeting Rooms, Stadiums/Arena, a 1,800 seat proscenium theater. My team and
I are responsible for over 4,500 annual events between all the spaces. I
would describe us as mostly corporate AV though we do have an 1,800 seat
proscenium theater and we do some fun stuff in our arena as well. And then
there's my years as a Union Stagehand as well as both Graduate and
Undergraduate theater work.  You're familiar with my sales and design work
I did for a few years in the middle.

If I can help please let me know.
