The band is currently touring in support of its fourth release - simply entitled Paramore - representing the first fullJength album and tour they've undertaken since the departure ofguitaristJosh Farro and his brother, drummer ZacFarro. "It hasn't been an easy break," says tavis Bing, Paramore's monitor engineer since 2009. That said, both he and front of house engineer Eddie Mapp had noth- ing but good things to say about the atmosphere on the road when talking with me from Denver, roughly two weeks into the North American leg of the tour.

In the past, they’ve done some amazing shows, but this is more sophisticated and artistic.” Braun found inspiration in the world of art. The video cubes that are such a striking feature of the design, he says, “came out of an industrial architectural sculpture in an Amsterdam building. I was fascinated by the way it jux - taposed light and shape in lines and cubes and boxes.

Dabei geht es uns um die Überlegung, ob Peter Blach (Foto: AktivMedia) und wie aktuelle Technologien und Anwen- BGV D8 D8Plus BGV C1 dungen im Experience Marketing jetzt schon eine Rolle spielen beziehungsweise welche Bedeutung ihnen in Zukunft zukommt. Dabei dreht es sich nicht ausschließlich um Traglasten 125 kg – 2500 kg Digitalisierungsthemen, die natürlich einen großen Raum einnehmen. Auch analoge Entwicklungen können wichtig sein. Wir sehen das also eher grundsätzlich. Man muss sich unserer Ansicht nach stärker damit beschäftigen, wie sich die Anforderungen in der Kommunikation verändern und wie sich Player und Protagonisten im Experience Marketing darauf einstellen. Welche Aufgaben müssen beispielsweise Eventagenturen oder Veranstaltungsplaner in fünf Jahren übernehmen und was ist dafür erforderlich? Wie müssen sich die Marketingabteilungen in den Unternehmen auf zukünftige Herausforderungen vorbereiten und welche Tools sollten sie für die Planung und Umsetzung einsetzen? Was bedeuten die Buzzwords Digitales Eventmanagement, VR, AR, 5G, IoT, Cyber Security, Cloud, Voting, Booking, Streaming, Gamifica- tion, Hybrid, Bots, KI, Robotik, Blockchain und Smart Ticketing für die Livekommunikation? Beim Round Table in der Schweiz haben wir bereits darüber dis- kutiert und werden das bei unseren nächsten Round Tables in Abu Dhabi, Toulouse und Monaco fortsetzen – immer mit dem Ziel, ge- meinsam über digitale Entwicklungen und analoge Chancen für den Event-Markt nachzudenken und die Umsetzung für eigene Projekte und Business-Modelle auszuloten.

  • THE MICK 57.Pmd
    THE MICK 555777 The Class Of 2011 ...people like to bemoan the state of music, reminding any affable furniture around them that things were much better when they were young. (This only confuses furniture, who have no concept of age.) The truth is that everything changes and evolves. Everything can be of interest, and a year that saw as many great records as the ones decorating this cover qualifies as a vintage experience. There are plenty more exciting concoctions inside, so if you missed any of these noirish beauties during 2011 prepare yourself for an illuminating journey.
