We’re 2 weeks out from kickoff of FIFA World Cup 26™ Los Angeles. This week, Josh shares one thing he always brings to show site: a D20 dice, a simple way to break the ice and connect with people during long production days.

He also talks about one of the biggest realities of working in LA: time. In a region where traffic and distance can shift quickly, building extra travel time into your schedule can make all the difference.

And if you’re looking for a classic LA spot to check out, Josh recommends the Original Tommy’s, a local landmark featured in countless films over the years

We’re 3 weeks out from kickoff in Los Angeles. This week, Brian, Senior Project Manager, talks about one of his show site essentials: cables, cables, and more cables.

He also shares insight on the importance of knowing what else is happening in the area during major event seasons — because traffic, venue activity, and overlapping events can all impact ex*****on in Southern California.

And if you’re looking to explore a bit while you’re here, Brian recommends checking out Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach.

We’re 4 weeks out from FIFA World Cup 26™ Los Angeles. This week, John Bevan, Project Manager at VCI Events, talks about the importance of staying connected on site and planning labor early, especially during busy event seasons.

When productions ramp up across LA, preparation and communication become even more important.

John also shares a few of his favorite local spots: Aikan Sushi & Ramen, Pho 79, and Tacos Los Cholos.

We’re 5 weeks out from kickoff of the FIFA World Cup 26™ Los Angeles. This week, Jeff Webb talks about one of the biggest misconceptions when planning events in Southern California: assuming everything is “just in LA.”

LA is a big market, and distance, traffic, and regional logistics can shape your entire event plan if you’re not prepared.

Jeff also shares one thing he won’t go to a show site without: North Creek Smokehouse Jerky.

And if you’re looking for a local spot to check out, he recommends Seabutter in Orange County.

We’re 6 weeks out from kickoff in Los Angeles. If you’re planning events for the FIFA World Cup 26™ Los Angeles, logistics matter — especially in a city known for tight load-ins, one-way streets, and limited space.

This week, we’re hearing from Ben Smith, Labor Coordinator at VCI Events, on one of the realities of producing events in LA: navigating tight spaces, one-way streets, and complex load-in areas.

And if you’re looking for somewhere good to eat, don’t miss Wurstküche, one of Ben’s favorite local spots.

Shout-out to the crew working behind the curtain to make it all happen.

So much of a successful event comes down to the people the audience never sees, the ones testing, adjusting, troubleshooting, and making sure every detail is ready before showtime.

Their work may happen behind the scenes, but its impact is felt everywhere.

It was great to be part of the Dremio Iceberg Summit in San Francisco.

Iceberg Summit brings together data engineers, architects, platform leaders, and core contributors for two days of workshops, technical sessions, and real-world insights around Apache Iceberg.

From the main stage to several breakout rooms, we were glad to support an event centered on innovation, connection, and the future of open data technologies.
