Live Design International
Announces A New Educational Event :
To attract discerning concert goers who expect immersive environments , festival producers are turning to entertainment technology to create once-in-a-lifetime experiences with speed and flexibility during set-up and strike , in environments that were not built for performances . To provide event producers with the tools they need , Live Design International ( LDI ) is launching a special event , LDI : Live Outside , which combines demos and training , in real-time , of a concert stage set-up in a non-permanent location . This includes educational opportunities on technology and products you need to produce dynamic and fully immersive events .
Taking place in the silver parking lot in the front of the Las Vegas Convention Center , Live Outside is dedicated to the design , technology , and safety considerations for outdoor events and festivals in a non-permanent concert setting . The non-profit association , Event Safety Alliance ( ESA ), has teamed up with LDI to present a series of four , one-hour sessions covering the essentials of safety , evacuation , and important weather decisions . Live Outside and the ESA sessions are open and free to all LDI attendees .
Jim Digby , Chairman of the Board of Directors of the ESA said , “ The Event Safety Alliance is thrilled to be involved in this exciting new addition to LDI . LDI has long recognized the importance of safety within live entertainment , and has been a leader in promoting training and technologies that make our industry safer . We ’ re looking forward to bringing the ESA ’ s message of ‘ Life Safety First ’ to Live Outside as we examine several critical issues impacting outdoor events worldwide .”

Weather Decision Support : Making the Seemingly Impossible Call Possible Friday October 21 , 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
When it comes to weather , today ’ s event producers and supply chain providers can no longer rely on “ luck ”. Having an effective and executable severe weather action plan is quickly becoming an industry expectation and a legal duty of care . Technology innovators guided by a robust subject matter expert group are providing tools and learning opportunities that simplify the process of creating a “ showgo ” decision matrix , while augmenting currently utilized now-casting tools with specialized forecasting services has become the new gold standard to which we should all aspire .
Speakers : Dr . Kevin Kloesel , university meteorologist , OU Office of Emergency Preparedness ; Dr . John Scala , past president of the National Weather Association and first weather analyst at the Weather Channel .
