Andy Reichwald – will give a behind the scenes peek at producing TV events for mainstream sports to the X-Games and everything in-between

Join the Silicon Mountain Group Monday, February 13, 2012. 6-8 pm at Tahoe Donner's Pizza on the Hill at 11509 Northwoods Blvd for a vibrant talk about the frenetic, ever evolving, technology driven sports television industry.

Andy, a 24-year industry insider, will give us a peek at the ‘controlled chaos’ that goes on behind the scenes while producing a live event. He’ll share the scope of preparation and the radical impact technology has had over the last 10 years on his industry. “What the viewer at home sees and what goes on in the production truck to make that happen are two very different things” says Andy.

This talk will leave you with a new sense of how technology and sports are inseparable.

Before and after the discussion, there will also be time for networking with other technology people who live and work in the Tahoe-Truckee region.

The meeting will take place at Tahoe Donner's Pizza on the Hill at 11509 Northwoods Blvd. A $5 fee includes pizza, salad, and soft drinks. Silicon Mountain Group – A local networking group of technology professionals, entrepreneurs and virtuals that hosts a monthly meeting from 6-8 pm on the 2nd Monday of every month.
