Large Screens Provided for Teamsters Convention
Working with Ricky Kirshner Productions, CSSI built the set for the recent Quadrennial Teamsters Convention held at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas. Senior Project Manager Ken Zommer coordinated the fabrication of the set and managed the installation process along with CSSI Carpenter Joe Strange.

The set, which was installed in three days, included six large screen surrounds. Four of the screens were hung around the conference hall and two were placed on stage. Videos with live coverage of the event and information and images regarding the Teamsters were projected on the screens, so all of the 10,000 participants could view the action.

Other scenic elements included an automated podium that could be quickly adjusted to any individual's height at the touch of a button. Final touches included hardwall skirting for the 120'-wide dias and two giant Teamsters logos.

This was a particularly special project for the crews involved, as it used the same production team that produced the 2000 Democratic National Convention in Los Angeles. Along with Producer Ricky Kirshner and CSSI Project Manager Ken Zommer, other team members included Art Director Rene Lagler, Staging Supervisor John Bradley, Lighting Director Bobby Dickenson, and Sound Designer Patrick Baltzel.
