Celebrating Juneteenth: A Reflection on Freedom and Unity

As an event company, we understand the power of bringing people together to share stories, celebrate milestones, and foster a sense of community.

Juneteenth marks the emancipation of enslaved African Americans and serves as a reminder of the ongoing journey towards equality and unity. Located just miles away from the shores of Galveston, the birthplace of Juneteenth, we proudly celebrate this day.

We honor the resilience and achievements of the African American community and remain committed to promoting diversity and inclusion. Join us in celebrating freedom and striving for a more inclusive future.

Encouraging the next generation of filmmakers…

We’re excited to share that Timothy Thomson, one of our Creative Directors, continues to bring his passion and expertise to the next generation of storytellers as a judge for the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Young Filmmakers Festival!

Since 2016, Tim has volunteered to assess young students’ work in narrative, documentaries, digital animation, and traditional animation categories. Last week, he judged the 2024 State Round for those who have successfully made it past the opening and semi-rounds.

Reflecting on the evolution of filmmaking education, Tim notes, “Back in the 80s, high schools didn’t offer much video production or filmmaking in their curriculum or in UIL competitions. It’s an honor to use my years of experience to encourage young students as they try out and master these disciplines.”

Tim adds, “It’s amazing to see the quality of some of the submissions be on par with videos produced by seasoned professionals.”

Psst. Sneak Peek Alert...

Just like that, the 2024 Rodeo Houston Cook Off weekend has come to a close.

For 6 years straight, we've been the creative force behind the Houston First Corporation cookoff tent – designing, producing, and fabricating.

Here's a glimpse of this year's design, can you guess which iconic Houston music venue inspired the concept?

It's officially rodeo season, Happy Go Texan Day! Drop a 🤠 in the comments if you're headed to the cook off this weekend.

This is just too much sometimes... 😮

In a good way, of course! Receiving feedback like this from our clients always strikes a chord with us. It's more than just words; it's a testament to the passion and dedication we put into every project.

There's a special kind of challenge in 'elevating the experience while staying within budget,' and it's one we relish:

1️⃣ We collaborate closely with our clients
2️⃣ We understand their vision and constraints
3️⃣ We bring that vision to life within the agreed parameters

Creativity doesn't have to be expensive. Innovation doesn't always mean going overboard with the budget. It's about smart decisions, strategic planning, and a relentless focus on the client's objectives.

"You were so responsive to all our requests and so helpful in the run up to the program..."

Our goal is always to be more than just a service provider. We strive to be a partner, a team member, someone you can count on not just to do the job, but to be there every step of the way.

That's a wrap! We're reflecting on the incredible journey of 2024...

Seeing how our collaborative efforts with CoreLogic came to life in Austin is inspiring. At Staging Solutions, we were thrilled to be part of this dynamic for the insurance and restoration industry.

Our goal was simple yet ambitious: to elevate the CoreLogic vision into an immersive experience. Through general session stage design, event production, and custom fabrication, we ensured the environment matched the quality of the content and discussion.

Watching everyone at the event engage within the environment we helped create was terrific. It's not just about the tech or the design but how it helps people connect and learn.

Together, we didn't just build an event; we crafted an experience that resonated with CoreLogic's ethos of Building Tomorrow Together.

Thank you, CoreLogic and Kimberly Rivers, for entrusting us with the canvas to bring your vision to life.

We believe in the transformative power of experiences—that's why we not only create events but also passionately participate in them.

We recently concluded our All Employee Summit, where we come together to collaborate, share insights, and delve into what makes us thrive as a team. And of course, a chance to take a silly picture!

Shoutout to our guest speaker, Glenn Taylor, who led us through workshops designed to build daily habits that align with our company’s mission, vision, and values.

As we step into 2024, we carry with us the lessons learned and the communal spirit from this summit, ready to elevate the experiences we craft for our clients.

The Power of Moments: Crafting Lasting Impressions and Meaningful Impacts

Our mission is to craft experiences that engage audiences and bring value to brands. But what does that really mean? It means that with every event we produce, we ensure there is a dynamic impression and a long-term impact.

The Impression

We thrive on the energy of experiences. The energy of the crowd, the awe in their eyes, the shared moments of laughter and applause – these are the impressions that ignite our spirits.

Every event or experience marks the beginning of a journey.

The Impact

The value of an event extends far beyond its initial impression. It's more than a momentary thrill; it's the ripple effect from the initial spark.

Our events don't just create moments; they build relationships, fuel growth and shape the future.

🚴‍♂️ Building More Than Bikes: Staging Solutions Team at the 22nd Annual Bike Build Event 🚴‍♀️

This holiday season, the elves had some extra help...

The Staging Solutions team at the George R. Brown joined hands with HoustonFirst employees and various organizations for a heartwarming cause at the Convention Center. 🎄✨

We were thrilled to participate in the 22nd Annual Bike Building event, assembling bicycles for Child Advocates. It's not just about building bikes; it is about constructing dreams and bringing smiles to the faces of children in our community. 🚲🎁

Since 2004, this event has been a beacon of hope, and we're proud to contribute to its legacy. With over a thousand bikes and helmets donated over the years, it's more than just a number – it's the lives touched and futures brightened. 🌟

A massive shoutout to our team for their hard work and dedication. In moments like these, we see the power of teamwork and the impact of giving back. Together, we're making a difference, one bike at a time!

Reflecting on another stellar User Group Meeting for NextGen Healthcare...

As we look back on the incredible week, we are proud to have played a pivotal role in bringing this event to life. Held from November 29 to December 2, 2023, at Rosen Shingle Creek in Orlando, Florida, the event marked a significant milestone in healthcare innovation and community building.

Event Highlights:
- Expert-led Learning: UGM 23 provided an unparalleled opportunity for 1:1 hands-on training, allowing attendees to dive deep into NextGen's latest solutions.
- Inspirational Sessions: The Opening General Session and Excellence in Healthcare Awards showcased thought leadership and celebrated achievements in the healthcare sector.
- Engaging Networking: From the vibrant opening reception in the EXPO Hall to the lively Friday networking event, UGM 23 facilitated meaningful connections among nearly 2,000 healthcare professionals.
- Focus on Innovation: The spotlight on AI advancements and the latest healthcare technology solutions offered a glimpse into the future of healthcare.

Our Role:
At Staging Solutions, we were thrilled to contribute our expertise in event and experiential marketing to ensure that every aspect of UGM 23 resonated with professionalism and innovation. Our goal was to create an environment that facilitated learning and networking and inspired and energized every participant.

Looking Forward:
As we wrap up UGM 23, we're excited about future collaborations and the continued journey toward better healthcare outcomes. This event has once again reinforced our commitment to delivering exceptional experiences that drive engagement and foster community.

Thank you, NextGen Healthcare, for entrusting us with your vision. Here's to many more successful events!

We’re still buzzing from the electrifying atmosphere at the Honeywell Festival, where we had the joy of crafting a slice of home with Pepsi's Dig In campaign!

The Pepsi Dig In campaign is an initiative dedicated to uplifting Black-owned restaurants by driving $100 million in sales over the next five years, fostering community, and celebrating the diversity and creativity of Black culinary talents.

We transformed a corner of the festival grounds into a nostalgic cook-out setting with a charming miniature house, a welcoming porch, and a classic swing. Our bespoke design invited guests to step into a scene ripe for memory-making.

The Dig In "Reunion House" was a hub of connection and joy, from photo ops on the porch swing to fun-filled yard games. Our fabrication and installation teams brought Pepsi’s vision to life, creating more than just a space— we crafted an experience. 🌟

Swipe through the moments captured! Each smile and shared laugh around the grill is a story of the community coming together.

Thanksgiving, much like a grand event day, is a whirlwind of excitement and preparation!

Just think about it: You've got a dedicated team (your family and friends), all hands on deck, fine-tuning the details for an unforgettable experience. The kitchen becomes your backstage, the dining table your main stage, and the turkey – your star performer! 🍗✨

You plan, you coordinate, and you give your all to create an atmosphere that leaves everyone in awe. It's like setting up the perfect stage with all the lighting, sound, and visuals ready to dazzle your audience.

Then comes the big moment, that golden hour when you unveil your masterpiece – Thanksgiving dinner! The room fills with excitement, chatter, and the anticipation of a delicious experience. Cheers to the showstopper moment! 🥂

And as everyone gathers around the table, laughter and conversations fill the air, creating memories that will last a lifetime. Just like an event, it's the people, the connections, and the shared experiences that make it truly magical.

This Thanksgiving, we're grateful for the wonderful events we get to create, and for the shared moments that bring joy to our hearts. From our Staging Solutions family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving!
