Problem: A Complex Venue Layout

As part of Herbalife’s 35th anniversary conference in St. Louis in July, producer Sterling Engagements located a venue that would represent cost savings from the company’s original selection.

Rather than locate the stage out of the way, Sterling set up a stage that incorporated the staircase as a dramatic backdrop.
