Our industry has seen yet another impressive year, with new technology and unique approaches to festivals, concerts and events. Grand structures standing as tall as multi-story buildings and as wide as a football field have become the norm nowadays, as well as the continued (and customized) use of mobile staging. Elaborate video displays and lighting arrangements are present at almost every festival. Event planners and promoters have also become more streamlined in the digital age that we live in, finding answers online through shared content, blogs and social media. What has not changed however, is the work ethic and dedication of the crews behind every show and event that takes place. Excuse the cliché, but we wouldn’t be here without them.
