One of the most critical and popular aspects of my business, Spark Media Solutions, is live event reporting and production, where I, backed by my team, attend conferences and trade shows and report on the event from the editorial viewpoint of the client.
If my client is interested in a subject that happens to be the subject of a conference, then they want to be a participant in that conversation. They can do that through live event reporting. Depending on how you approach the reporting, that editorial voice can take the form of either being at the center of discussion, a voice on that topic, or that of a moderator who acts as a hub for all information on that topic.
By attending live industry events, one of my clients, Tripwire, an IT security company, did an excellent job making their presence felt across the security industry. This is the story of how Tripwire and Spark Media Solutions worked together to build relations and content with and for the leading voices in the security industry.

In retrospect, what do you think about Mark Hale, Ortsbo and Intertainement media?
I ask since you seem to have been involved in this event (interviews)
(question about way back in the Guiness event in spring of 2011)
Yes, Ortsbo is one of my clients and I shot interviews at Ortsbo's Kiss Live and Global event. Mark was there. He's a bright guy.
The first shot of John Savage in the film is so nice it feels like it's coming from a different, better quality production. Generally throughout LE PORTE DEL SILENZIO there are moments which stick out and hint at what could have
Kiss my vote goodbye Bammy!
