UVLD was proud to partner with the exceptional team at Corporate Magic to light up the 100th anniversary celebration of United Way of Metropolitan Dallas this past fall.

Held at Fair Park, the event spanned multiple venues, with UVLD providing a robust onsite team to support four of them, including a headliner concert at the Cotton Bowl with Janet Jackson and Blake Shelton.

Led by lighting designer Jeff Nellis, the design team included David Rees, Thomas Pendergrass, and Sieun Ye. Special thanks, as always, to our outstanding electricians: Bill Hopkins, Mike Covino, Johnny Washam, Mark Maiocco, Eric Yee, Drew Scott, Russ Matoes, and Andrew Kress. Equipment was provided by our partners at Live Events and Clearwing.

Very special thanks to Jim Kirk and the entire Corporate Magic team, and executive producer Chris Laue.

It was an unforgettable celebration, and we’re honored to have been part of it. Here’s to the next 100 years of this remarkable organization!

What a week in Las Vegas. 🎰✨

UVLD’s Greg Cohen and David Rees had the best time working alongside some of our favorite collaborators — executive producers Karen McGetrick and Steve Coleman, show caller Alice Perlmutter, technical directors Erik Hendricks and Jake Siekman, and a crew of absolute rockstars including the very camera-friendly Johnny Washam and Tim Donovan.

The NDA stays locked, but smiling faces are fair game. 😊

When road family meets home family, the total is WAY more than the sum of the parts. Many thanks to Matt Webb and his wife Rose for hosting this UVLD extravaganza at their home in Texas, bringing together the lighting teams from Prestonwood’s The Gift of Christmas and from the United Way 100 year celebration, both in production concurrently earlier this month in the Dallas area. To say Matt’s BBQ was better than anything on the Texas top 10 would not be an exaggeration! Too many people in this photo to name, but call outs to the UVLD members in attendance: Matt Webb, Greg Norgeot, Jeff Nellis, David Rees, David Seitz, Sam Swagert, and Sieun Ye. From our families to your families, wishing a warm and peaceful holiday season to all!

What. A. Team! UVLD partnered with LEO Events this fall on a sprawling multi-venue, multi-room event—eight fully produced stages, and we were thrilled to be there. We can’t share event pictures, but UVLD loves a night at a mid-level family friendly restaurant. Here at an extravaganza of wings and apps are our designers Greg Cohen, Matt Webb, Rob Cangemi, Helena Magee, Jeff Nellis, Matthew Piercy, Sam Swagert, Abby Wells, and Sieun Ye, along with a true powerhouse of an electrician lineup: Glenn Bowman, Pete Cambell, John Cambell, Brian Davies, Dave Favorita, Bill Hopkins, Mark Nead, Jeff Quinn, Robert Reichling, Sal Restuccia, and Johnny Washam. We were honored to bring our A-Team to this A-Level event produced by LEO.

For the past decade, UVLD has partnered with Webb to evolve the doTERRA International Convention into an emotionally charged live experience, with an arena General Session and engaging Product Experience. This year, due to construction, the General Session moved from the arena into a vast convention space, presenting a new creative and technical challenge: preserve the scale and excitement of an arena production while crafting an immersive and personal experience for 7,500 attendees. This began even before the opening production number, with intentional and dramatic lighting in the hallways leading to the GS. The result redefined what a corporate event can be: arena-level impact reimagined for a new environment and powered by the artistry of Paul Sharwell’s lighting design.

UVLD’s David Rees brought fun, immersive, and museum quality lighting to doTERRA’s Product Experience, partnering with doTerra to share their story through light. Precisely lit product exhibits and experiential areas built by 360 Scenery transformed the Salt Palace’s exhibit halls into an inviting and educational environment, with focus on their product line and wellness initiatives.

Huge gratitude to Webb executive producer Natalie Peay, producer Molly Korzep in the General Session, and producers McKenzie Warren and Kolby Brown in the Product Experience. Webb technical directors Michael Shields and Trevor Handley absolutely killed it as always, and a special shout out to Trevor Handley for fantastic video creation in the Product Experience.

And, of course, we couldn’t do it without our world-class electrics team. Chris Nye, Heath Goodwin, and Darius Knight in the General Session, with the Product Expo installation headed by Dave Haar, Jeramy Morin, Chris Wright, and Damon Hartmeier.

Thanks again to the whole Webb team for your ongoing and valued partnership!

We were honored to join LEO Events this August in lighting the Fred W. Smith Memorial at FedExForum in Memphis. Sieun Ye led the design, along with production electrician Andrew De Meo, and gear from Rob Charnetski at Christie Lites. The event was produced by Scott Quaid. Honoring the life of FedEx founder and former CEO Fred W. Smith, the event was a fitting farewell for a man whose vision shaped modern shipping.

Congratulations to our own Kevin Lawson for garnering his seventh Prime Time Emmy nomination, this time as a Lighting Director for the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony!

In addition to his enormous breadth of lighting design experience ranging from Broadway to broadcast television to high end corporate work, Kevin also teaches lighting design and technology at the University Of Cincinnati. We’re proud to have him on our UVLD team!
