USITT21 – VIRTUALLY ANYWHERE – MARCH 8-12, 2021
Syracuse Scenery & Stage Lighting Co., Inc. recently exhibited at the USITT 21 – Virtually Anywhere Stage Expo – at the 61st Annual USITT Conference. Syracuse Scenery booth staff enjoyed chatting with numerous visitors at our virtual booth, but we are looking forward to next year’s conference where we hope we can chat face to face once again. The highlight of our booth for attendees has traditionally been the “running of the bags” to procure velour tote bags, one of the “swag” items we give away each year. This year, the big hit at our virtual booth was the SSSLBAG NEWS video, which provided a history of our velour tote bags and pot-holders. If you would like to check out the video, it is available for a limited time. Be sure to watch it all the way to the end to find out how you can get a Collector’s Edition of the 2020 -2021 Velour Bag!
#WeMakeEvents – September 1, 2020
#WeMakeEvents is an international movement to highlight that the live events sector urgently needs support from local governments to survive the Covid-19 pandemic. The focus is to get government initiatives to help the industry back to work while providing support until it can fully return to work. On September 1, 2020, #WeMakeEvents North America lit up more than 2,000 performance venues, iconic structures, and residences in red in over 75 cities and towns across the United States to raise public and media awareness in support of the live events sector.
