CLEVELAND, OH- GhostLight Chairwoman and CEO, Deb Smythe Hermann was awarded Event Producer of the Year, 2012 by Event Solutions magazine. Event Solutions magazine, the leader in event industry news and information, held its Spotlight Awards ceremony in the Palace Ballroom of Caesars Palace on February 28, 2012 to honor the top names in the event world. Event Solutions magazine Spotlight Awards are an annual awards presentation dedicated to recognizing the best and the brightest event professionals in the nation. The awards are presented in a variety of categories and honor both individuals and companies for their body of work in the previous year.
The 2012 Spotlight Awards were presented in conjunction with new cutting edge technology.
Via pixel mapping, the Palace Ballroom was transformed into a lush red-curtained stage with three large viewing screens and Art Deco detailing. Within this theatrical environment, an emcee interfaced with the projections - helping define the flow and structure of the awards ceremony, including an opening operatic act and the projection of award categories and nominees and transitional backgrounds. "The video projection mapping was so cool!" reminisced Ms. Hermann, "GhostLight Principal, David Shimp, is trained in this media projection and we are excited to offer it as a service in 2012."
