CONCEPT
Through sketches and renderings, Staging Resources will present to you a creative and unique look for your event. We can provide everything from a simple pipe and drape backdrop, to a full-blown custom designed hard set. Staging Resources will partner with you or you can utilize our in house graphics team to support and create your PowerPoint Graphics. As part of the concept stage we will suggest just about anything. How about indoor Fireworks? Laserlights? Live talent? Theatrics? We have everything you need to blast your audience out of their seats, and keep them talking long after the meeting has ended. Finally, we will help you determine your event's needs and establish a budget. At Staging Resources, we understand that every project varies in size, scope and budget, so we handle each and every event with the attention that it deserves.

DESIGN
We Utilize the latest CAD/CAM software to establish and maintain a design objective for all technical elements of your event. We develop custom floor plans and schematics depicting the theme of your show, derived from client meetings as well as hotel or venue site evaluations, show and room limitations, electrical specifications, and a host of other minute details. After a stage/scenery concept is determined, we will base our final design on the project's scope, budget, audience size, venue details and the key elements of lighting design, sound reinforcement and video & computer projection. All of the components necessary to meet your event's budget and design requirements are determined at this time.

SCENIC DESIGN
Main stage is the focal point of any event and a well designed scenic environment will certainly impress and win over your audience. Our design team will create a perfect scenic surrounding that will clearly promote your message, theme and ideas in a beautiful and artistic manner. We utilize either custom built or modular flexible set components and combine that with 3 dimensional signage to accentuate the final look. Let us help take your event to the next level with your own original custom scenic stage design.

LIGHTING DESIGN
Key to any well-designed stage is lighting. Lighting the presenter on stage is our first priority in addition to a general stage wash and backlighting for video. This conventional stage lighting system can be augmented with state-of-the-art computer-controlled "intelligent lighting" that will accent the stage environment and enhance your presentation.

SOUND REINFORCEMENT
Audio is another often overlooked area that we take very seriously. From basic public address needs to hi-fidelity sound reinforcement utilizing the latest in audio technology, we deliver "sound" audio. Whether it's a single presenter in a meeting room, or a band in an audience filled auditorium, you can count on us to make it "sound right". Also, we are one of the only companies in the Chicago area that can provide infrared translation equipment for international events that require multiple language interpretation.

VIDEO & COMPUTER PROJECTION
DLP and LCD technologies dominate the projection industry today, and at Staging Resources we provide both. Computer and video images are two very different sources that need to be projected seamlessly on screen and using our Folsom Research ScreenPros, we are able to accomplish just that. In addition we can provide the latest in image blending technology with the Folsom Research BlendPros.
