Chip Haas is the technical director for the department of the-

community who, beyond developing and implementing
the solutions to their own production challenges, took
the time to write up the information so that it might
be shared with others. Of the 17 juried entries accepted
by the Tech Expo Committee for inclusion in the 2017
Theatre Technology Exhibit, five were selected by a
panel of adjudicators during the conference to be featured in TD&T.
I would like to offer my deep appreciation to the
members of the Tech Expo Committee who, while
keeping up with their own busy lives and looming deadlines, found the time to select, edit, and organize the
exhibition. Also, I would like to send a big thank you to
the adjudicators who were willing to look at and evaluate the Tech Expo displays during the conference. Finally, I need to thank all who submitted entries to the
16 biennial Tech Expos. You have helped to create an
invaluable resource for the theater community.
Cheers to you all.
