We partnered with Big Lots to produce daily general sessions and other elements for “My Big Lots,” the national retailer’s 2016 annual managers conference.

In addition to supporting keynote presentations, MC/entertainment components, holiday initiatives, training and awards, we utilized LED lighting tiles to provide versatile, easy and visually-appealing stage looks and message support. A dimensional interpretation of the Big Lots exclamation point served as the centerpiece of the set.

For Big Lots, the post-event follow up is as crucial to the success of its fourth quarter as the event itself. Immediately following the conference, managers receive a “meeting in a box” containing DVDs, handouts and other materials from the event to help them share news, training and motivation with their employees. The Bartha team edited video, designed print collateral and duplicated DVDs included in the box.

We returned to the Nutter Arena on The Wright State campus to produce and stage the Campaign Gala celebrating the fundraising campaign’s success. Like the campaign, the Gala featured transformed spaces for a reception and dinner program featuring Tom Hanks and Broadway style musical performances by students from the Wright State University theater department.

For the past 29 years, the YWCA of Columbus has chosen a select few women who’ve made extraordinary contributions to their families, workplaces, and communities – and honored them as Women of Achievement. They are celebrated at a very popular luncheon gathering in the heart of Downtown Columbus.  

The YWCA chose to partner with Bartha for the 2014 event – to which we brought a new level of creativity, highlighting the accomplishments of the current class of honorees while honoring the long history of service the YWCA has provided to Columbus with striking visual effects and theme implementation.

What we provided:

  • creative consultation
  • set/stage design & fabrication
  • lighting & sound design
  • professional show staff & direction
  • production management
  • HD image magnification
  • venue & labor management

The Ohio State University turned to Bartha to create and produce the Anne and Woody Hayes Tribute Event, scheduled just one day after what would have been Woody’s 100th birthday. In addition to the scenic design and technical support we provided, we also created a series of videos from nearly 40 years of former players, associates and friends of Woody and Anne which prompted both laughter and tears from the audience. The Anne and Woody Hayes Tribute Event was a huge success. Fans were touched. And those who’d never met the Hayeses got to know them and their role in the Ohio State story.
