Jim Draper Video 2016-2017 Highlights
Jim Draper
As we head head towards the end of 2017 (already?!), I've found time to comment on some productions over the last couple of years - starting with some metrics:
Where in the world
HOW MANY TIMES
Silicon Valley -- 27
San Francisco -- 10
Las Vegas -- 10
So Cal -- 6
Out of state: Chicago, Austin, Orlando (2), NYC, Hawaii (OK, that was a vacation), Tokyo, Seattle, Dallas and Vegas (which gets its own piece of the pie).
I find it crazy that I was in San Francisco as much as Las Vegas but that's where they fit many of the shows with five-figure attendance.
The solid tech industry - Adobe, Amazon, Cisco, Citrix, Google, Oracle, Salesforce and others - made up the bulk of productions. Here are some of the memorable ones during 2016-2017:
TenCue's production of an Opening experience for corporate event. Unedited - as it happened!
For World Stage on Milken Institute's Global Conference. George W had some interesting comments about his presidency - occasionally in self deprecating way.
