Debrief, 07.03.08, Marie Hogg, Hayley Sheridan, Fabian Pfortmüller

Feedback NEF

• Excellent job, good staff
• Was excellent to have radio mics from them
• Nice stage setting: worked well with having the speakers not centred, only 1 screen
• Very good feedback for lightning in evening
• Suits of Wise Technicians looked cheap
• Some people found music stings in evening cheesy
• Google Earth didnt work without music, first time was without music
• Was unfortunate that we never received proofs for stage design & gobos
• Very smooth transition when Jo the show caller had to leave

Feedback from Wise for NEF

• Everything was very last minute: minute by minute, specification for music etc
• Dress rehearsal should be a REAL run-through like on the next day including music, google earth, microphone changes etc, that would allow much a smoother transition
• Was problematic that we always forgot to brief the hosts of the breaks and had to search for them during the session
• Worked out with hand mics for panelists, next year maybe with lapels (clip mics)
• Maybe do speaker briefings in ballroom?
• Speakers often didnt turn up in time at the speaker briefing, needs to be communicated very clearly
• Tonys interface -> text was too small to read on plasma screen
• Was not a comfortable space for the distiller team to sit at the same table as Tony and Wise. -> Have seperate table for them.

Open Tasks

• Marie sends rough edit of audio reccordings on dvd until end of next week
• Marie sends over the remaining 3 lightboxes
• Marie checks the invoice and sends it over
