Live Nation | Interactive Venue Network (IVN)

Live Nation contracted Almer/Blank to develop the IVN display head, an application built in Flash that controls all of the displays (from the large on-stage projections, to the smaller LCDs by the concession stands) at all of Live Nation's 50 domestic concert venues.

The IVN features full-screen, full-motion, broadcast quality video, as well as other content like upcoming show schedules and images. Concert-goers can interact with the IVN using cellular phones, sending text messages and pictures, as well as to participate in polls during the show.

Almer/Blank also created an advanced Flash-based Content Management System (CMS) for the IVN, allowing Live Nation venue managers around North America to control the content that is displayed on all projections and displays at their venues.
