⚡️ FEDC 2018 - Gene Crawford
summary
Runs a decade‑long regional conference with a tight, practical playbook: 200 tickets hits the sweet spot for speaker–attendee mixing; flexible scheduling absorbs variable talk lengths; an epic power outage took an hour but audio and stage crew keep things alive. Emphasis lands on producing real connections, using an audience‑speaker submission process that surfaces new talent, choosing a pro theater for sound, and keeping logistics simple so events scale without breaking.
