One rule I've always lived by: users should never be more than three clicks away from what they need. It’s inspired by Apple's design philosophy, but it applies perfectly to control systems. 

Not every corporate space needs a complex control system. Sometimes a smaller solution is exactly what you need - saving money, reducing complexity, and actually working better for you and your space.  Let's explore why less can definitely be more. 

When dozens of systems need to work together, having the right approach is crucial. Whether you're running a theme park or a large venue, these proven methods help create reliable, efficient, and user-friendly control solutions.  

When different control systems work together effectively, it transforms how we manage complex venues. From theme parks to large entertainment spaces, connecting these systems creates better ways to monitor, control, and maintain the entire operation.

Behind every seamless show or attraction lies a complex web of technology. When everything works perfectly, guests never notice the dozens of systems operating together.  

In the years I’ve spent developing and implementing show control systems, one thing has become abundantly clear: the best systems are the ones no one ever notices. 

Last week's Immersive Experience Network Summit showed just how far interactive entertainment has come - and more importantly, where it's heading.

We did 72,000 steps. That's what my watch told me after four days at the IAAPA Expo. Eight miles a day of walking, networking, and discovering. IAAPA is packed with inspiring people and creative energy.
