This was a rare event project. I had no pre-production work until I got onsite. It was almost like a blind date partly because of their strict NDA. Agency J provided project briefing to me and another producer from Singapore when we arrived in Hong Kong. Both of us were speaker support managers for a keynote session. I was quite impressed with all the resources and documentation Agency J prepared for us. They were very experienced in hiring an international crew.
I can’t talk about the event itself, but I was impressed with a dozen British crew who was very diligent, polite and seasoned. Agency J even hired one of stage managers all the way from Mexico. One of many things I learned from this project was that you get hired based on whom you know, instead of where you live.
