In this episode of GatherGeeks, David Adler, C.E.O. of BizBash, and Beth Kormanik, editor in chief of BizBash, sit down with Bruce Allan Kurtz, managing director of New York’s Gotham Hall, and architect Richard Bloch, who oversaw the recent transformation of the famed Ziegfeld theater into an elegant ballroom and event space.

They also discuss the inherent design challenges of large spaces, how to add character to a ballroom, the importance of lighting and sound design, and what should be in the back-of-house space.
