Chalk and Cheese

What a busy month and events that cover the spectrum of live event work.

Our month started in Barcelona with the conclusion of Technically Directing the delivery of 750sqm of double height exhibition booth including a grid truss roofing structure, offices with air conditioning, architectural lighting, hospitality and demonstration pods, audio visual support and telecommunications for Ivory.

During a staff briefing one of the intern students collapsed, I was called upon to give first aid being the registered first aid first point of contact on our Exhibition Stand. The revived young man was cared for until the Pavilion Doctor arrived on scene, it is important not to let anyone give the patient tablets or drugs without knowing the cause of the collapse – dehydration the culprit – a lack of water. Having taken the St Johns Ambulance First Aid course I felt confident to deal with the situation.

Onto Switzerland to the Genève Motor show for Invent Technically Directing the press launch of a new engine for the Q50 Eau Rouge Concept car. I love this type of work, huge images, great sound tracks, the hub hub of the press scrum.

Then onto Guildford to Produce a staff meeting for 850 for a Financial Services company, again, large screen projection and a voting system for information gathering and valuable feedback.

Working on leading events in the Technology and Automotive sectors is fantastic. To see what the industry is offering in terms of display technology, design and delivery is so valuable for staying current with ideas and being able to see just what works and sometimes what does not.

April – oddly a blank canvas – I wonder what is just round the corner?
