This week on Tech Star Tuesday, we’re heading to Las Vegas to highlight Evan Thomas, a laser professional whose journey into the industry came from an unexpected turn of events. Today, he continues to help create memorable experiences for audiences and clients through live event production.
For Evan, lasers weren’t part of the original plan, and here we are:
“6 years and I didn’t it picked me! I had lost my career as a product specialist for BMW because of Covid and I fell into lasers through some friends I made on Instagram”
What began as a difficult career transition eventually opened the door to a completely new opportunity!
A Defining Career Moment
Over the years, there have been many productions and events. However, one experience continues to stand out above the rest.
“Drake Wireless festival”
Being part of an event of that scale remains a major milestone and a proud moment in his career.
Making Every Event Count
Whether it’s a concert, corporate gathering, or special event, the goal remains the same.
“Creating not Just impactful but iconic moments for clients and audience”
That mindset helps guide every production. At the same time, it reflects the passion that goes into creating experiences people remember long after the event is over.
Words of Advice for the Next Generation
The live event industry can be challenging. Problems arise. Plans change. And sometimes the solution takes time to find.
That’s why perseverance is one of the most important skills to develop.
“Go with your gut and exhaust every option before you give up, the answer is there just push towards finding it!”
It’s advice that applies both inside and outside the production world.
Most Recent Event
Most recently, Evan was part of the Philips Conoco Awards Reception, helping support an event focused on recognition, celebration, and professional production.
Each event brings a different challenge. And each production offers another opportunity to create something meaningful.
From an unexpected introduction to lasers to working on major productions, Evan Thomas continues to build a career centered around creativity, determination, and experience. His story serves as a reminder that sometimes the best opportunities are the ones you never see coming!
