Conference & Stage Expo
Smooth Sailing to Milwaukee
Ron Procopio Stage Expo Manager
Landing in Milwaukee is a beautiful experience. The vast lake stretches out beneath the plane. Far off in the distance, Chicago is visible, letting us know exactly how small a world we live in. Stepping off the plane, we are ready to conduct USITT business and finalize the plans for the 2013 Annual Conference & Stage Expo.
The Conference & Stage Expo is just nine weeks away at the newly renamed Delta Center. The Conference Committee reunited to solidify room locations, special event plans, and schedules, and begin to talk about 2014. This year’s Conference is expansive, over-flowing into the two adjacent hotel facilities for meetings and receptions.
Equally as robust is the Stage Expo. The floor has grown 30 percent and features new organizations and some companies returning as long-time friends. Companies like Graftobian, Genie, iWeiss, and RCF are joined by many long-time supporting companies like Electronic Theatre Controls (ETC), BMI Supply, Ben Nye, and James Thomas Engineering. Stage Expo is truly the only location to find all the products and services to create a complete production experience.
Make sure to visit the special exhibit and new Innovation Gallery & Stage while at the show. This year features the return of Tech Expo, the Cover the Walls exhibit, the Rose Brand Design Challenge, seven special exhibits from various facets of the industry, and many more exciting events at the USITT Booth & Marketplace.
Join us March 20 to 23 in Milwaukee to learn about the newest innovations in your discipline, network with colleagues from around the world, and check out the newest products and services on the Stage Expo floor!
