Specified by Jay Holem, president of Rock Quarry Productions, the modular video panels interlocked to form a 16ft long by 10ft tall rectangular wall projecting live video content and graphics. The all-day event featured Tyra Banks as keynote speaker, seminars, panel discussions and musical performances by Robin Thicke, Anthony Hamilton, and Wale among others. Since 1994, Women's Empowerment enhances the lives of African-American women by addressing issues that specifically affect their health, relationship and overall lifestyle.
"The Chauvet MVP modular video panels shined through as always," Holem said. "We actually had to dim them down not to overpower everything else, which is a wonderful problem to have compared to projection systems of the past.
"We had a 3 a.m. load-in with only four hours to get everything in the air with bands arriving at 7 a.m.," Holem said. "The MVP system goes together so quickly that we had the entire rig flown easily on schedule."
