From 2016 - 2020, GLG produced the Idaho Technology Council Hall of Fame Event, an annual gathering at the Boise Convention Centre to celebrate the people and companies of Idaho who are powering technology innovation. Our effort was spearheaded by Tim Garrigan, GLG co-founder and executive producer of the shows. I was in charge of the creative effort, which involved coming up with the event themes, show graphics and animation, keynote presentations, marketing collateral, and marque videos. The creative team featured ACD Graeme Hanson, creative strategist Shya Scanlon, senior copywriter Greg Oberst, and art directors Richard Merz, Trevor Corbin, Matty Harper. Attendance and buzz grew every year, not to mention the creative scope, and was a blast to work on. Our five years of supporting the event culminated with a highly successful 90-minute virtual event in October 2020. Many thanks to Tim, ITC president Jay Larson, and the entire team at the Idaho Technology Council.

Each year, the event kicked off with an opening video that introduced the theme and set the stage for the evening’s program. Here’s the intro from 2018, when NFL Hall-of-Fame quarterback Steve Young was the keynote speaker. The video played on a large screen behind the stage at 3240 x 1080.
