Reflecting on the challenges event planners face, especially after the shake-ups of the past few years, Seth discusses the pitfalls of applying lean manufacturing principles to live events. He also speaks on the vital role of expertise and partnership in AV planning and why a reliable, consultative AV team can make all the difference.
