Computers, computers and more computers....

Well, so far we've installed about 125 computers and I don't know how many printers and various other devices in more than 30 locations around the city.

Some of the venues we have networked together for live television video feeds, photo sharing for the news room and media folks, etc.

One cool thing you might not know: Almost all of the "convention" images you see on the stage screens during sessions are only a few hours or even minutes old! Our crew of photographers drop off their memory cards (and head back out) and a crack staff of photo editors sift through the thousands of images and sort, tag, catalog and archive them. As they're doing that the "show producers" downstairs have people selecting from those images to use in the production of the session as it's happening!
It's possible you could see a picture of yourself walking down FFA Way on the way to the session...during that session!

Ah technology...aint it great!
