2024 EPN Leadership Symposium Focused on Partnerships in Production
EPN Members and Vendor Partners recently gathered in northern New Jersey for their 2024 Leadership Symposium, themed Partnerships in Production.
Every year, the Event Production Network invests in its members to ensure that they meet a North American standard of AV excellence.
More than 120 live-event production professionals enjoyed a variety of education and networking opportunities over four days, including tracks for New Business Development, Account Management, Finance Management and Executives. Sessions were tailored for these tracks as well as a series of talks on AI by Bucky Dodd of Clear Kinetic.
Fifteen leading vendors and technology providers joined the event as Diamond Partners with tabletop displays and delivered presentations on their latest technology and service solutions. Thank you to Diamond Partners AV Franklin, Nationwide, IntelliEvent, Christie, Elation, Roland, Quest Events, Shure, Panasonic, AV Gear, NFP, ROE, Obsidian, EAW and Theatrixx.
In the spirit of mutual collaboration and an understanding of raising the bar for one, raises the bar for all in the Network, the local EPN member company in metropolitan NYC, Michael Andrews Audio Visual, hosted a tour of its offices and warehouse to share their best practices and procedures.
EPN’s Leadership Symposium strengthens several important areas that challenge the live-events industry in today’ marketplace:
Professional Development: All AV team members will interact, at some point, with meeting planners, their speakers and their audiences. Besides teaching the technical aspects, EPN also reinforces the softer side of the business, which includes different forms of communications that can take any event to the next level.
North American Support: EPN builds camaraderie during events like its Leadership Symposium, which leads to more collaboration, less expense and better outcomes for meeting planners and event organizers who utilize a member or multiple members of the Network.
Together, the network creates 30,000 memorable experiences annually with the latest AV technology that transforms any event into an experience.
- The Event Production Network (EPN) provides meeting planners and event organizers with peace of mind as experienced AV partners, who are current on the latest event technology trends.
- As an invite-only organization, EPN has established the industry’s highest standard, which each member must match or exceed. The benchmarks include quality equipment, unmatched technical knowledge and ethical business practices.
- EPN members—which have been strategically selected throughout the North American continent—share time, talent and solutions with other members to ensure that everyone succeeds. Event organizers can leverage the nationwide reach of the network’s member companies.
- Collectively, EPN members invest in continuous improvement through new training and shared best practices.
