HIMSS 2025 - General Session: A1 | Audio Engineer

Mar 2025 | The Venetian, Las Vegas, NV

​

  • The Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS) event was the largest General Session i've operated as an A1 to date, with close to 6,000 people in attendance.

  • I used EAW’s Anna Audio System, allowing me to create tailored ‘full room’ and ‘half room’ coverage designs with custom tuning presets. The system's real-time adjustments through EAW’s 'Resolution' program ensured seamless execution without the need for physical reconfigurations during set changes. 

  • The event was a success and the client gave a big shout out to everyone involved including the production staff and crew.

PPAI 2025 - General Session: A1 | Audio Engineer

Jan 2025 | Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino, Las Vegas, NV

​​

  • A1 for the PPAI 2025 General Session, the promotional product industry's largest and longest-running trade show.

  • Sound was dB Technologies T8's LCR mono arrays.

  • A gameshow called "The Pitch" was fused into the production which was a fun twist for the audience. A lot of complex playback and stinger sound effect cues were necessary to capture that true game show feel.

  • Turnout and end results were amazing, client was ecstatic.
