Senior Presentation Designer Collin Herko AKA “Herk” joins the ‘cast to discuss his recent onsite event experience in Nashville for one of our favorite clients.

This included everything from live site edits to how a big conference process goes down with AV design, teleprompters and more.

With the event being in Nashville and Collin being a former Nashvillian, we also talked about the history and influence of “Hatch Show Print” style that the client specifically wanted to incorporate into this project.

As Collin emphasizes, it’s one thing to design a beautiful slide on your 15 inch desktop—it’s a whole different experience to see it on the big screen at an event helping bring the story to life.

This is an episode for: presentation designers, anyone that works events and Music City lovers.
