This award-winning talk takes the understanding of producing, directing, and stage management to another level as together, we look for inspiration for your next event.  

Whether in-person, virtual, or hybrid, the show caller or stage manager is responsible for designing an audio-visual multimedia experience that can have dozens or even hundreds of moving parts. From managing the onstage talent to the technical know-how, you’ll learn how to engage in the best possible way with your onsite AV Team from the engineers, show producers, stage managers, and even the audience, to design and execute the perfect experiential live event. 

This session will use real-world examples from recent events including presidential summits, major televised sporting events, and corporate engagements, as well as more intimate, but highly produced audience experiences.  By working together, we will talk through how to build a show flow, anticipate challenges, manage timelines, and learn how to bring together your team behind the scenes. 

This is the perfect session for a seasoned event manager or team lead looking to better understand or even take on some stage management responsibilities, or someone interested in production and looking for a path to design, and direct their own events.
