Thrilled to have worked as a Production Assistant with ABCD & Company at this year’s National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) Annual Conference at the Georgia World Congress Center Authority! In my role, I served as the lead stagehand on the Main Stage, collaborating closely with the production team to set up for high-profile sessions featuring government officials like Stacey Abrams, musical performances, and the Awards Gala. I had the opportunity to lead a small team in staging and technical setup, ensuring smooth transitions and a high-caliber experience for all attendees. Grateful for the chance to expand my production skills with NMSDC and looking forward to supporting this incredible event again next year!

Earlier this week, we successfully wrapped up two incredible days at the 2024 National Minority Supplier Development Council (NMSDC) Annual Conference & Exchange, where we had the honor of hosting the Headshot Lounge Experience for up to 400 attendees that signed up for headshots, at the Georgia World Congress Center Authority! ?? A huge thank you to the organizing agency and the team at ABCD & Company for trusting PWG Lens to deliver on this vision. It was an absolute pleasure working alongside Jared Wilson and Nargiza Seyfitten, whose collaboration and partnership made everything possible. Special thanks to all the 400+ conference attendees who stopped by and made the Headshot Lounge such a success—we enjoyed capturing your energy and helping you put your best foot forward with a fresh new instant headshot! And of course, I couldn’t be prouder of the PWG Lens team (Shanah & O'Dane). As always, teamwork makes the dream work, and this wouldn’t have been possible without the dedication and hard work they put in to ensure everything ran seamlessly from start to finish. Looking forward to #NMSDC2025! ???????? #PWGLens #NMSDC2024 #HeadshotLounge #CorporatePhotography #ProfessionalHeadshots #Headshots #HeadshotPhotographer #CorporateEvent #EventPhotography
