Meeting
and event planners have enough to do without the added
concerns of evolving presentation and staging technologies. Will the PowerPoint work this time? What the heck is a "gobo"? Noticing this happening repeatedly we decided to provide tools that assist you, the planner, in areas
such as audio, video, lighting, and staging. These tips and tools
are
free to download and distribute, we hope you pass along where you found them. From time to time we will update
and add tools as technologies evolve. For questions, clarification
or to suggest a tool you'd like to see, please email us at info@ldsystems.com. |
