NEW BUSINESS SET FROM GMC

We just returned from a great show for the National Association of Electrical Distributors at the Marriott Marco Island Hotel and Resort in Marco Island, Florida. We built a new business set for the show that was especially appropriate for the attendees at NAED.  It incorporates an all-LED oriented lighting system that fit perfectly into the association's "going green" initiatives. These AV screen surrounds have been designed to work with 9' x 12' or 10.5' x 14' screens. The LED lighting system allows the set to become any color imaginable - or any combination of colors. Fox Network's economic commentator STUART VARNEY was the keynote speaker at the opening general session. Varney's presentation on the state of the world economy was extremely insightful, although we did not get to hear his closing thoughts on the positive outlook for the economy...just as he started to talk about the potential for change and improvement in our economy under the Obama administration, the power all over Marco Island went out and the ballroom was plunged into total darkness and silence. The irony of this happening at a meeting of electrical distributors and manufacturers was not lost on the attendees. Apparently, a repairman working on the main power lines to the island accidentally touched the lines with his bucket truck. The result was a total blackout of all power on the island for nearly 10 minutes. It was a weird feeling being in a totally dark ballroom with 400 puzzled attendees. 


Here is one of the wraps with violet lighting.


The LED lighting system allows the lighting director to create a multitude of looks to fit any theme or color combination.


This is the look we used during the "green electrical products" presentation.


Fox News host Stuart Varney was the keynote speaker.
