SEAS Backstage

Join us for a Dadventure with a third of the Peters Family! Our host Troy Peters has a conversation with his kids, delving into their perspective on events, and experiences. Running through a recent rip to Disney World from the anticipation of adventure, through actually experiencing it.

Kids can teach us so much if we just take the time to listen. We hope you enjoy this family episode as much as we did!

In July, SEAS was honored to host our annual Summer Camp event in partnership with The WOMEN IN SECURITY Documentary. The event was immensely successful and served as a backdrop for Resilient Features to film a variety of scenes for this important upcoming documentary.


While we cannot share the entire event, as much of the footage is being reserved for the documentary, we did want share a panel led by our CXO Troy Peters. This panel was focused on event security and featured a variety of high profile people from throughout the security industry. Be sure to tune in and hear from Andrea Chedas, Mindy Pretzman, Karen Gispanski, Danielle Weddepohl and Michael Gips.


We want to express a huge thank you to each of our panelist, The WOMEN IN SECURITY Documentary and Resilient Features. Without all of you this event wouldn't have happened and we are beyond grateful for having been a part of this production.

Welcome to the 1-Year anniversary of SEAS Backstage! This episode is a highlight real of the best of our inaugural year in podcasting.

We've met some amazing people, learned a lot and gained many listeners.

This episode is a thank you to everyone who tunes in and joins us on our adventure!

In the latest episode of SEAS Backstage, Yinka Freeman delves into the pivotal role of technology in the event industry, offering insights from her perspective as an event planner and producer.

The pandemic rapidly introduced new technologies to our industry. Instead of fearing these changes, Yinka embraced them, dedicating herself to learning about the latest tech innovations and finding ways to leverage them to enhance her events.

Live events need serious project management as there is little room for error.  Whether it’s working with the client, unions, managing logistics, hiring freelancers, sourcing equipment, and putting on a live event with no “second takes” it’s all got to come together perfectly.

When event budgets are in the millions the focus on every little detail increases and the job skill needs to match.  This level of project management needs to be at the top of their game and we will work together in this collaborative and engaging talk to call out major milestones from expected deliverables and timing, site visits and production meetings, diagrams and 3D renderings, crew management and sourcing, trucking and logistics.  

Once we have the outline and skill set called out we’ll introduce discussions around working on major televised sporting events or conferences with high-level global leaders on the international stage and the security and management that goes along with all of this.

Zack and Troy elucidate the relationship of the In-House AV company and the venue and offer practical insights and strategies for maximizing your utilization of what they offer. 
 
Remember, if the venue for your upcoming event has In-House AV requirements, that does not mean we can't still help you. You can, and should utilize your AV partner to help navigate the contractual requirements. From assisting with on-site visits to offering specific experiences with your particular venue, our goal is to ensure you get the price and service you deserve.

Crafting the perfect RFP isn't just about checking boxes or line items – it's all about storytelling. Painting a vivid picture of your vision and expectations is key to helping your AV partner understand the goals of your event
