Cirque Mechanics – Gantry Bike
The Gantry Bike allows for an up close and intimate viewing experience. Two drivers pedal and maneuver the twenty foot high truss structure through the festival crowds while an aerialist swings and spins suspended high above the audience, her height controlled by a third driver on the vertical pedal unit. A contortionist twists a top the 10′ high round Plexiglas table. An acrobat climbs and balances on the Chinese pole and a juggler throws and manipulates his props on the front lower platform, inches from the audience members. The moving mechanical Gantry Bike offers a theatrical circus experience, lighting fixtures and sound speakers are strategically placed to play original music and provide spot lights for night time performances.

BrightBox offers secure charging stations that enable event guests to stash and recharge their phones. Event attendees simply swipe a credit card to open a chamber, plug their phone in to charge it, and then leave to dine, see entertainment and so on while the phone is charging. Swiping the same card later lets the guest retrieve the phone. The stations charge virtually all phones–Android, iPhone, Blackberry and more–quickly, the manufacturer says, and the system never accesses any data on the phone. Venues using the stations can increase guest satisfaction and drive social media about the event.
This lounge provides guests with comfortable seating and outlets so that you can recharge your tablets and phones.

People write a message on their hands or arms. The power of these photos have taken off. This could be a cool thing to do at the start of an event, then show it all compiled near the end.
