Friday, December 11th, 2009

When the television networks think TCA Press Tour these days, they think of SenovvA. Dave Taylor has been instrumental to this event for well over twenty years and his involvement dates back to 1981. SenovvA provides everything for this semi-annual, many day event from “soup to nuts,” including: production management, high definition video systems, projection and LED displays, one way and two way satellite and fiber remotes, full audio reinforcement including countless musical performances, full broadcast level lighting and design, staging and drapery, even the carpet! This event takes over a complete hotel and we wire the many meeting rooms into one integrated video system. Our solutions have to be flexible enough to service the varying needs of over twenty-five presenting networks and no two tours are ever the same.

Ann Cowan, Sr. VP, Communications and Marketing for CTAM, put it simply, “You guys are amazing. Thanks for everything!”

SenovvA’s Mark West was brought in to produce events where the technology supports the meeting, engaging participants without overwhelming the meeting space.

Our services include production design, video and sound equipment, video production, technicians and technical management for each event.
