Can You Hear Red? - Technology, Color and Sound
Technology takes us on unchartered creative journeys. We are no different than the explorers and discoverers from the 1400s to the 1600s, where navigators of ships including the Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria used maps and compasses to direct their sails and take them to unexplored territory. We sit at our ‘cockpits’, our workstations, a park bench, the beach, and we launch into space - cyber space. |

Shedding "Light" on Venue Site Inspections
Conducting a site inspection can be a complex process for meeting and event planners, and a key element to consider is often overlooked, the physical environment of the function space itself. An important environmental factor in choosing a site is lighting, both the lighting system capabilities as well as ambient (natural) light. There are questions that need to be addressed in the meeting design stage to ensure a facility will pass the site inspection.
