Congratulations to our own Kevin Lawson for garnering his seventh Prime Time Emmy nomination, this time as a Lighting Director for the 2024 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony!  Collaborating often with lighting designer Allen Branton, Kevin is no stranger to the Emmy’s, having won the prize in 2022 for the same roll. In addition to his enormous breadth of lighting design experience ranging from Broadway to broadcast television to high end corporate work, Kevin also teaches lighting design and technology at the University Of Cincinnati. We’re proud to have him on our UVLD team!

It’s hard to put into words how much this show means to us. Walmart Associates Week is always a highlight of our year—and Associates Week 2025 was no exception. We’re honored to light up Fayetteville alongside such an extraordinary team. ⚡️

• 22 days onsite
• 4 essential meetings
• 20 unforgettable acts

From Jimmy Fallon’s opening laughs to powerhouse sets by The Killers, Noah Kahan, Camila Cabello, Post Malone, and Meghan Trainor, the Bud Walton and Barnhill Arenas never looked better. 🎤🎸

UVLD’s Greg Cohen and Matt Webb led the arena design, with Matthew Piercy crafting the Wednesday concerts and Sam Swagert guiding the International Meeting. 💡

We’re deeply grateful to David Kenyon and the entire team at LEO Events—led by executive producers Kelly Hunt, Amelia Seaton, and Sara Orzech—for bringing us on board and creating an environment where everyone can do their best work. Technical Director Steve Barrett kept everything humming, with Sam Moergen expertly managing the headliner performances.

Our production electricians, led by Pete Campbell and joined by Bill Moore and John Campbell, made sure every cue landed exactly right.

Massive thanks to Upstaging—Steve Wojda’s incredible crew of Joby Benoit, David George, Abby Johnson, Nina Pebeahsy, and Matt Rodewald delivered flawless support. 🔧🚛

In 2018 UVLD’s Paul Sharwell worked with a new producer at WEBB who was just starting to find her voice in the industry. Even then, Meggan Pingree’s drive, creativity, and passion stood out. Since then, UVLD and Meggan have brought the energy and the wow-factor to countless events.
 
In March, UVLD was happy to work with Meggan as EP for Domopalooza 2025, where innovation met entertainment in the most unforgettable way. The program included dynamic opening numbers, corporate presentations, demos, and inspiring guest presenters. 
 
In the evenings the atmosphere lit up – literally – with themed parties, including the 10th birthday of Domopalooza – and electrifying performances by four incredible bands, including Styx and T-Pain.
 
Thanks to everyone, especially WEBB and the Domo events team, who let us join their party.
Huge thanks to Technical Director Trevor Handley, Production Electrician Bill McGarvin, and Christie Lites for a terrific gear package.
