Collaboration You Can Feel

If you were with us in Columbus for Amplify A|E|C, you felt it—the hum that happens when talented people point their energy in the same direction. As Executive Producer and Creative Director for the main stage, I had the privilege of watching collaboration turn into momentum in real time: five live shows in three days, each with its own arc, its own voice, and its own heartbeat.

What you didn’t see on stage is just as important. In the weeks leading up to the conference, our teams gathered for virtual table reads—line by line, beat by beat—refining stories so they landed with clarity and care. On site, we held live rehearsals for all five programs, walking through timing, transitions, and those tiny moments that make a show feel effortless. I also stepped into the booth to record voiceover—threading segments, smoothing transitions, and keeping the audience oriented from first cue to final bow. None of it was accidental. It was collaboration—disciplined, joyful, human.
