Midori Connolly
C.E.O. & chief AVGirl, Pulse Staging & Events, San Diego, 35
Claim to fame: Connolly produced the industry’s first set of guidelines for sustainable audiovisual staging and co-chaired the audiovisual committee for the new APEX/ASTM Environmentally Sustainable Meeting Standards. She is recognized as a leader on the topic of “green A.V.,” traveling the world speaking and hosting hands-on tech labs.
Style signature: “I like to bring a little femme into the A.V./tech world. I call it ‘gic,’ a combination of geek and chic.” Connolly is now developing a line of AVGirl products—audiovisual accessories such as power strips and cord locks in a variety of bright colors.
Quick tip: Recycle batteries used at events. “They contribute about 88 percent of the total mercury and 50 percent of the cadmium in the municipal solid-waste stream.”
Major life goal: To compete as a professional athlete. “Sport as of yet undeclared.”
