CAST Group of Toronto, Canada is preparing for TSE 2013, The Special Event show coming 16-18 January 2013 at McCormick Place in Chicago, Illinois. CAST will be exhibiting in booth 400 and will be showing the all-new Vivien 2013, released in December 2012.

Vivien 2013 is the most comprehensive sales, catering, planning, and designing graphic application software designed and built by CAST (makers of WYSIWYG) that produces 2D plans and 3D event presentations with photo-real event renderings for the full spectrum of event professionals who work in the special events and meetings industry. The company says Vivien 2013 is fast, intuitive, and easy-to-use so even users with average computer literacy are not intimidated.

Vivien uses several wizards that make complex/repetitive tasks fast and easy, simulates ambient and special event lighting (including the potential impact of full weather and time-of-day conditions), delivers a CGI [a picture] today of tomorrow's event, as well as seating assignments. Its deliverables also include easily executed layout options plus event resources lists and meal data for front-line sales, design, and catering. With a Library boasting tens of thousands of proprietary and manufacturer-specific objects and textures, and the ability to import external files in a variety of formats (including Google SketchUp), the company says individual or multiple users from all areas in an organization can become more professional, more productive, and more profitable. With precise, powerful visuals, Vivien helps to win customers and then to deliver exactly what they expected.

TSE is the world's largest tradeshow and conference for event professionals and the company notes TSE should "prove to be a perfect showcase for Vivien." This year will mark the show's first appearance at McCormick Place in Chicago and in the Midwest. In addition, TSE is also taking steps forward to transform itself into a participatory event with attendees and exhibitors leading the way.

"I can't wait for TSE, I'm thrilled to debut the new Vivien," says Jim Hutchison, product manager for Vivien, "We're very excited to bring Vivien 2013's game changing new features to this year's TSE. Chicago is going to love Vivien 2013."

See CAST at PLASA Focus: Orlando, May 15-16.
