The first column for this week is a first-hand look into how Pilgrimage 2021 was produced in Rocky Mount, North Carolina. From content and audio to streaming and rigging, Jacob Blount walks readers through the tech and AV solutions that powered the annual conference. Jacob hopes his tips will help you decide what products and tools you can use for future client events — both in person and virtual.

That’s a wrap on 2021 for all you HOW pros and fans out there. I can’t wait to see you next year, and I hope you have a restful, fun and safe transition into 2022. Happy New Year!
