January saw the team working on the Porsche exhibit and Cayenne SUV introduction at the Los Angeles Auto Show, on behalf of Jack Morton Productions. Intel had a huge arena show for several thousand of its sales and marketing personnel, produced by John Halloran Associates, while Kaleidoscope Productions oversaw the Glaxo Smith Kline business meeting in Phoenix; both relying on NED for lighting design services. In the spirit of the auto show season, NED designed the lighting for the Infiniti 2003 New Product Announcement Show at Dana Point, California, working with producers Maritz Performance Improvement.
In February, Intel conducted a Developers Forum in San Jose, again produced by John Halloran Associates and lit by the NED team. Glaxo Smith Kline continued their busy year with three more business meetings and banquets. March saw Tetlow and the NED associates designing the lighting for a new summer show in Branson, Missouri, for return client Shoji Tabuchi, and yet another Glaxo Smith Kline launch in Hollywood, Florida. The busy trend in the pharmaceutical industry continued with a large Pfizer Pharmaceutical launch in Orlando, Florida for MJM Creative. Looking forward to April, the NED team will be lighting the IBM Golden Circle Awards in Kona, Hawaii, for producers Strategic Events, the Pepsi national sales meeting in Las Vegas, and wrapping up the 2003 auto show season with a General Motors Special Event at the New York Auto Show.
