Speakers

Troy's background was well established in motion picture production working with Paramount Studios, Disney, and Lions Gate Films before migrating to association show management where he joined a team managing the association’s event needs at over a dozen annual events across the globe.

Holding city-wide conferences with upwards of 20,000 attendees with daily general sessions, awards programs, and breakouts he quickly grew frustrated with not being able to keep up with the changes in audio, video, lighting, and staging design.  In 2010 he expanded his knowledge of live event AV technology by becoming a Certified Technology Specialist with the Audio Visual & Integrated Experience Association (AVIXA) so he would be able to help the association be a more proactive player and properly design the ultimate attendee experience.  

Realizing his love was producing technology-forward events of all sizes and for all organizations he was hired with Video West, a national production company designing events for national associations, corporations and agencies including The State Department, the Clinton Foundation, LUSH Cosmetics, and supporting high-profile events for the PGA, NFL, and NCAA across North America.

Now with SEAS Productions, based in San Diego, California, Troy is continuing to push his company, his clients, and the industry to embrace storytelling and technology.  An active speaker, volunteer, and the current President of the Professional Convention Management Association (PCMA) Southwest & Pacific Chapter.

When not volunteering, presenting one of his talks, or working as Chief Experience Officer for SEAS Productions, he immerses himself in cooking, traveling, golf, and generally enjoying life with his wife and 11-year-old twins.
