One could not help but notice that the U2 360 Tour is in Winnipeg this Sunday. Early this week a huge convoy moved into the parking lot at Canad Inn Stadium.
They have been hard at work setting up what I'm sure will be a very impressive stage. It is amazing the amount of work it takes to design and build the set, never mind the organization and work that it takes to set up in every city of the tour.
While the U2 tour is far removed from the corporate boardroom, they do have much in common. The audience in both environments expect to be able to clearly hear and see the presentation. The PowerPoint presentation and videoconference needs to happen as quickly and smoothly as Bono and the boys put on their extravaganza.
I remember TV commercials that were 1 minute long before the advent of MTV and newspapers had articles that were long. The expectations are much different today. Everyone demands that the visuals are bright and crisp. The audio must be clear. Transitions must be quick and flawless.
The boardroom and training facility audiovisual system has to be well designed, user-friendly and perform on demand just like my expectations for a spectacle that U2's 360 Tour will bring to Winnipeg this weekend.
Here is a time lapse video of the same stage being set up.
