December Education Program - Show Calling and Stage Management for Live Events

With attention spans shorter than ever and audiences both in-person and remote or a combination or both, it’s critical to understand stage management and show calling. During this session we’ll review case studies of national and global events to help you develop the tools needed to direct your production team to deliver that perfect audience experience.

Learning Outcomes:

● The ONE mission critical piece of the live project is having active redundancies in place and ready to go. Hot backups and and rehearsed “what if’s” mean you will be set up for success even when challenges arise.

Speaker: Troy J. Peters, CTS. Chief Experience Officer, SEAS Productions

Troy began in motion picture production working with 20^th Century Fox, Paramount, and Disney in the late nineties before migrating to association show management with the Society for Optics & Photonics in Washington State where he was part of a team managing a dozen events from 500 to well over 20,000 attendees across the Unites States, Canada, and Europe.

With his innate understanding of what it takes to design complete audience experiences interlaced with the demands of the event life cycle he has continues to share his knowledge as a speaker, a board member, and a mentor to others in the industry.  As the Chief Experience Officer with SEAS Productions Troy is guiding the company to embrace change, step outside their comfort zone and immerse marketing and client relations as one and the same by sharing the “secret sauce” that makes their company unique in the audio visual and production space.

When not working, Troy enjoys playing golf, reading, traveling, cooking, and searching for new adventures with his wife and ten-year old twins.
