| Managing Change in a Technology-Driven Industry
What I Learned, the Hard Way
Presented by Josh Weisberg, President, WorldStage
Josh Weisberg admits to being part of the audio, video and lighting technology business for nearly 40 years, much of that time as the President of Scharff Weisberg and now WorldStage. Starting in 1980 with a small company located in Times Square, WorldStage now has offices in multiple cities and over 150 employees supporting challenging projects all over the world. During his tenure Weisberg has learned what works and what doesnt, when it comes to running a complex, high-technology business in the very dynamic event industry, and will be sharing the important things hes learned, sometimes the hard way. Disrupting the AV Staging World
Experimental Technologies Push the Staging Envelope
Presented by Matt Ward, Chief Technologist at WorldStage
A merry romp through a garden of disassembled LCD panels and incorrectly applied video processing. Matt Ward, the Chief Technologist at WorldStage, will discuss some examples over the past couple decades where doing things differently yielded outsize results. Matt Ward founded Tekamaki (now part of WorldStage) and co-founded Element Labs, the first company to successfully establish itself at the intersection of lighting and video. Tekamaki focused on testing the limits of available technology and tackling complicated display problems. Element Labs products won awards at PLASA, Lightfair, and LDI. The company released a series of products that defined entirely new segments in the LED market including Versa TILE, Versa TUBE, Stealth, and Cobra. This session will dig deep into Wards personal approach to technology with examples of projects featuring custom hardware or atypical applications of off-the-shelf hardware.
