Columbus, Ohio - Each year, YWCA Columbus honors a select group of women with the Women of Achievement Award. This award recognizes women who are working to build a truly inclusive community, and honors their extraordinary contributions to family, philanthropy and business.
Over the past decade, LIVE! Technologies has been the YMCA’s “turnkey” event staging and production company

for the premier awards luncheon honoring these inspirational women.
LIVE! Technologies designs and constructs dynamic and visually motivating sets to compliment the message of the YWCA.

“As LIVE!’s relationship with the YWCA grows each year, we view each Women of Achievement luncheon as a new opportunity to showcase the latest in our innovative creative services and state-of-the-art equipment.”
- Shawn Loevenguth, VP of Rental Production

This year, LIVE! transformed the Greater Columbus Convention Center into a multi-media showcase with Dataton WATCHOUT Display Software. Six custom screens defined the stage, and displayed custom graphics and visual elements that told each woman’s personal story of achievement. Video projection equipment provided Image Magnification and video playback for the live audience.
LIVE! Technologies Creative Services department produced over 50 minutes of original programming for the event, including: three-minute video biographies of each honoree and YWCA program videos.
Additionally, an extensive lighting package was utilized for visual effects, as well as for television broadcast. Audio was professionally designed for optimum speech clarity throughout the hall, and feeds were sent to the mobile television truck provided by ONN.
LIVE! Technologies takes pride in providing the staging, audio-visual and creative solutions for the YWCA’s most auspicious event.
