‘The Main Event – Sound & Vision for Winter Olympics and World Expo Opening Ceremonies’, is a panel discussion presided over by Integrate’s guest of honor, Bruce Jackson. Bruce was Audio Director for both events, and has years of enormo-events experience under his belt.

Productions such as Olympics and Expo Opening Ceremonies provide unique case studies. With so much at stake and with the whole world watching, the productions are lavish, using state-of-the-art gear and with the sort of redundancy levels you’re unlikely to find outside a NASA Shuttle launch. Still, with the entire world oo’ing and ah’ing at the spectacle, things don’t always go to plan, as witnessed by the Sydney Olympics cauldron cliffhanger…

Bruce has pulled together a panel replete with some amazing creative and technical brains. The panellists include:

Chris Kennedy, Norwest Productions: The Norwest supremo has seen his jet-setting PA inventory hop from one big international event to the next. Chris brings his experience in supplying large-scale sound to the panel.

Peter Milne, The Electric Canvas: The Electric Canvas is a world leader in large-scale projection projects and Peter Milne will share his considerable expertise in how to meet the technical challenges of turning a huge space into a ‘big screen’.

Nick Newey, David Atkins Enterprises (DAE): DAE is synonymous with big events like Olympic opening and closing ceremonies. Nick Newey will provide an insight into the technical challenges and logistics of pulling off ‘best Games ever’ grand flourishes.

Integrate is super-excited to have The Main Event dream team convene for this session. Doubtlessly Boris Johnston will be along to gets some tips for 2012.

This session will held on Wednesday the 25th August at 12:45pm – 2:15pm in The Headroom.

Cost: $11.00
