Multisport World 2008: March 30, 2008
The event that I did yesterday is one of the largest events for me each year – it’s a tradeshow for runners, swimmers and cyclists presented by Sun Multisport Events. This was my fifth year doing this event – for the first three years, the shows took place at Regis College in Weston MA, but the show outgrew the facility and so it’s now held at the spacious Zesiger Center at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. More than 3,000 attendees packed the show floor to meet with over 100 exhibitors. For me, the work was mostly logistical – I was providing sound equipment for the tradeshow floor as well as in the seminar rooms. I was also responsible for all of the announcements during the show. The event was a huge success for all of the exhibitors, and the sound throughout the gym was crystal clear as well as cable-free. Using my Sennheiser wireless systems, I was able to send the audio from my console to a number of remote speakers placed around the show floor.
Next year’s event is still in the planning stages, but I’m sure I’ll be back! I’m also running the sound for Sun Multisport’s other races this year, in July and August. Stay tuned!
