Lights…Camera…Action!

Meet Ricky Kirshner and Mark Squier, the former a veteran of major entertainment productions – like Super Bowl half-time shows and the Rose Parade – and every Democratic Convention since 1996, the latter a Party adviser brought on to spearhead the strategic communications behind the program.

They made their debut on this blog last fall, but they’re back in today’s edition of the Rocky Mountain News.

Both are hard at work preparing an engaging, interactive four-day event that will put our nominee on the path to victory in November. For example, design plans for the stage and podium were finished in February, in anticipation of construction that will begin the week of July 7th and convert the Pepsi Center from sports arena to Convention hall.

And while production plans are kept tightly under wraps, Kirshner and Squier say the Convention won’t be. They want the four-day event to be as interactive as possible. "We're looking for ways to bring down the walls," Kirshner said.
