I am very excited to be part of an interactive session taking place in just over a week at The Special Event in Nashville, Event Design 'eh where we will bring together a fabulous group of Canadian event designers to talk about our perspectives on design, collaboration and do this all with visual mediums that are designed to spark discussion.
Lars Erickson is the Director of Business Development for Special Event Rentals, a leader in the Alberta special event rental marketplace with facilities in Edmonton, Calgary and Red Deer, and a selection of product suiting each market and many thoughtful designers. At last year's TSE I had the opportunity as a roving report for Meetings Podcast to have a great discussion with Lars on his philosophy, eye to partnership and Canadian design, which sparked this idea for a session. To hear this interview, click here.
I asked Lars to tell us a little about what this session will bring to those who choose to attend next week, and here is what he said.
Q1. Can you
tell us briefly about your current role and involvement in the design process?
LE : As a rental company, Special Event Rentals provides the building blocks
of event design. I work with planners to ensure we have the right inventory to
create the designs they dream up.
Q2. Beyond
our ubiquitous Mountie, what is one thing you consider “Canadian” when we
talk about event design?LE: Maples, Mountains and Snow… but more important is our willingness to
embrace our environment.
Q3. If you
were giving special event participants one reason to attend our session,
what would you say?LE: Collaboration is key with all events. Come and see how we work together
in Canada.
Well, he said it! All of us are pumped up and making sure you have an experience where you walk away with useful tips and ideas you can use the minute you return home, about design, collaboration and selling design. It is going to be great!
