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

[Richard John Archer]

Scott,

I don’t design but have been doing events with the same company for almost 30 years.  I was a TD in regional theatre for 20 and, of course, I’ve been here at Cornell for almost 40 years…with some obvious overlap or I’d  have to be about 110 years old.
Let me know if I can help.   If you want, I can send you more info off list and even some pretty pictures.   Never really spent much time in St Louis. USITT sounds like a great reason to visit.

Greetings all,
I'm putting together a panel to discuss the differences between design for a theater show and an event. Looking for panelist with experience in both.

Description
Designing for corporate live events is almost the same as theater except for all the differences. This session will introduce design concepts and, more importantly, technical methods used in live events produced at convention centers, hotel ballrooms, etc. Also rigging needs.

Learning Objectives
Participants will learn:
Differences between theater and corporate event design.
Specifying equipment needed for a "bare walls" rental space.
Lighting Director, Lighting Designer, Lighting Programmer, L1, L2, Master Electrician; what do all these folk do?

Thanks,
