The Forum is meant to bring members together regarding everything from design and programming for lighting, multimedia, audio, to new technologies, to working in other countries, to sharing tricks of the trade, and leveraging each other's knowledge and experiences.
CAST president Gil Densham explains, "We want the forum to focus on the important issues; the collaboration of creativity + artistry + technology, from the design process to execution to wildly successful projects. This is not at all limited to large-scale projects. On the contrary, it's the everyday productions with smaller budgets that often present the most interesting challenges which require brainstorming leading to clever solutions. The forum will be the place where industry pros can share advice and experience."
Andrew Gordon, CAST - marketing & business development, states, "If the pre-launch is any indication, we are pleased to launch The Forum as the place to go for people in the know and who want to know. We believe it will quickly take on a life of its own."
