Schenk will lead the group's West Coast operations while Johnston leads the East. "Assumption of Bill's responsibilities by Joe and Anne will be a natural transition for us," says Michael Tomkin, president of PRG. "Each is intimately familiar with the operations of the group. Each also has unique expertise that will help the group's clients capitalize on important new trends in the evolution of entertainment technology."
As President of PRG's Nevada operations, Schenk has overseen some of the Integrated Solutions Group's most important projects in Las Vegas, including the Masquerade in the Sky at the Rio, Star Trek at the Hilton, EFX at the MGM Grand, the Conservatory at the Bellagio, the Fremont Street Experience, the Cirque du Soleil shows O and Mystère, new entertainment elements at the Fashion Show Mall, and attractions currently under development at the Wynn Las Vegas resort. Schenk has over 26 years of experience directing the installation and operation of showrooms and special attractions.
As PRG's vice-president of Image Systems, Johnston helps direct the deployment of several specialized PRG technologies, including large format projection systems, LED lighting systems, and Mbox, a new image server technology available exclusively through PRG.
