Post by: Sean Chen on February 02, 2014, 08:05:10 PM

Hello, can you guys please recommend a good company in to go with for a 1500 people indoor 4-day conference in Chicago area in a 220' x 150' x 27' tall warehouse?

Audio needs:
Keynote speeches
Contemporary Christian live band in between

Light needs:
House light is very noisy, need to bring in stage lighting setup on trusses

I would appreciate your recommendation. Thanks.
