Cenero
A luncheon paying tribute to President Bill Clinton and much of the staff during his presidency was held at the Museum of American Jewish History for around 500 attendees. The event began with networking and food, followed by a speech from President Clinton, and con- cluded with a meet and greet with the former President of the United States.
“Daniel Love of In Your Service Events and I had a prior relationship through MPI, which made working together a breeze,” said Cameron Wicks, account representative - show solutions for Cenero. “We were able to put all of our focus on putting together a successful
event, while effortless managing all requirements and expectations. In Your Service Events took care of all food and aesthetic requirements while Cenero handled everything audio-visual.”
One surprising aspect of this event was the nature of security involved, he noted. “We were warned that the Secret Service may choose to dismiss mem- bers of our crew from the venue, or order equipment to be removed or relo- cated without any prior warning,” noted Wicks. “That required us to have con- tingency plans for all elements… we developed contingency plans regarding how we could bring in additional, quali- fied crew members, on who would oper- ate what equipment, and what we would do to make the event happen if for any reason we had to change the equipment setup or event flow on short notice.”
Wicks said that Cenero had to make this event very memorable by using the baseline “tools of the trade,” which took discussion and pre-planning and required every- thing to be perfect from setup until the last guest stepped out of the space.
Cenero also served in partnership for a three-day event during the DNC that took place at the Center for Architecture and Design, which is part of the American Institute of Architects in Philadelphia.
This event was organized and hosted by a combination of lobbying firms, event planning firms and corporations. Throughout the three days there were panel discussions with high profile peo- ple that included politicians, activists and celebrities, as well as speeches and film screenings.
“The audience for these events ranged between 75 and 100 people,” observed Wicks. “The event had a very ‘come and go’ atmosphere, as it was meant to host these forums, but also to serve as place to rest, charge devices and grab a bite during the DNC.”
Cenero serves as the exclusive AV provider for the Center for Architecture and Design, and also managed the design and installation of all audio-visual and conferencing solutions for the cen- ter. For this particular event, there were five main technical elements provided through Cenero: live audio, video, web- casting/livestreaming, lighting and video production.
“Many of the speakers at the event were civil rights leaders,” noted Wicks. “In particular, there were people who marched with Dr. Martin Luther King and some who knew civil rights activist Medgar Evers. To see them speak about the obstacles they faced and the change they affected was inspiring.”
