General Manager

Unless you are one of Active's vendors, you may not know him by name or face, but if Active has produced a show for you and everything went smoothly you better believe that Steve Zaug was a big part of that. He is Active's  secret weapon, the silent but lethal force that keeps Active's operation running smoothly. For the last 8 years, Steve has been apart of the Active team. Steve has learned the business from the bottom up and now is responsible for day to day operations of this production power house. With that pressure on his shoulders, it's amazing that we have a picture of him smiling! Thanks for all you do Steve, YOU DA' MAN!!

If you have been reading the industry publications you may have read about the various ways Active has implemented GREEN practices into our operation. Now we are partnering with EnviroExpo USA to bring the first environmental expo to  Atlanta.  Enviro Expo will descend upon Atlanta and is sure to be a real treat for the entire family! Over 250 booths, games, speakers, demonstrations and organizations will come together to show the public real solutions to Green living. Active Production and Design is proud to be a sponsor for what will be an incredible event that will help raise GREEN awareness locally and nationally. 

 
 
FYI...
 
In this crazy business you are going to work some long days and nights. If your health and strength are not up to par, you are not going to last. You know it and we know it. That is why Active has initiated "Get Active", a company sponsored program in which Active staff is able to work out at Atlanta Krav Maga and Fitness. This awesome workout combines martial arts, fitness and self defense. And it's so fun! Active is taking the initiative to make sure that our team is always fit enough to go that extra mile for you. We invite you to do the same. Visit www.atlantakravmaga.com to see how this great way of working out can give you that extra energy you need to get through that next event. For the next month, if you tell them Active sent you, you'll receive a special promotional offer. Go ahead, GET ACTIVE!

Advice From A Real Pro...
Special Event cover
 
If you are looking to break into the special events industry and you are not quite sure how,  just ask the experts. In the May issue of Special Events Magazine's, ISES PAGES,  Bill Steigerwald, CSEP looks to answer the age old question: "How do you break into event management?" Experts from various segments of the industry give their advice to anyone looking to get their foot in the door. In the article  Matt Clouser states,
"In this industry, it's about showing and proving, and volunteering is probably the best way to get your foot in the door." Look for more advice from Matt and other experts in the upcoming issue. You never know, this can be just the advice you need to help you  get a job at a  major production company like Active...(but not  my job, it's taken!:-)
 
 
Active Set's The Stage For a MEC of Global Proportions...
 
  mec
For the 4th consecutive year, the Georgia Chapter of Meeting Planners Internationalcalled on Active Production and Design to produce its Meetings Exploration Conference.  "Become Global" was this years theme for the 2 day conference hosted by the Cobb Galleria on April 15 & 16. Attendees were treated to an array of seminars and sessions where they could sharpen their skills as well as get inspired.  The much anticipated networking event, The Gathering, hosted by the Cobb Energy Centre was a sell out success! Guests ate  delicious foods, "sipped" libations and danced to some  cool music and entertainment. Proceeds from The Gathering benefits the Atlanta Community Food Bank.

They Said It Couldn't  Be Done...
 
But Active did it!!
 
Right after supporting The Special Event in Atlanta, GA in January, Active was called upon to give the same awesome production service to the Fabulous Showcase Event in February! This was the first joint venture of Event Solutions and Catersource. Active was part of a massive event team that took over 100,000 sq feet of raw space at the World Market Pavillion in Las Vegas and transformed it into a "sinful playground" of entertainment and networking. The Active crew worked around the clock to make sure the event went off without a hitch...who sleeps in Vegas anyway??
 
 
We'll see you next year!! Viva Las Vegas!

 
Active  On The Edge...
 
GREENDAY
Active Production and Design was so proud to be a part of Atlanta's first annual Green Day Fest! We hope everyone came out to Underground Atlanta on April 27th from 11am-6pm and enjoyed the live bands, "Green" Exhibitors, food vendors, hybrid cars and  the best part, (besides Active being a sponsor)...it was free!
