THE CALL

In a nutshell, CrimeCon is an immersive, weekend-long event dedicated to all things true crime and mystery. For their 2nd ever event, Red Seat Ventures brought in Pinpoint as their creative and production partners. Taking place at the Gaylord Opry in Nashville, TN, we were given a set budget and tasked with killing it… in regards to designing, staffing, and producing an amazing convention for 5,000 true crime lovers.

OUR RESPONSE

True crime enthusiasts together can easily find the how in a spooky case and are often more interested in the why. That helped us land on ‘What’s Your Motive?’ as our convention theme. To lure people in, we had them scribble down what brought them to CrimeCon on sticky notes and add them to one great wall which evoked an interrogation room. While people jotted down their motives, we oversaw 17 general sessions, 56 breakout sessions, 1 happy hour, 1 offsite where a live podcast was recorded, and 1 grizzly crime scene replica. Pinpoint also partnered with sponsors Oxygen and WGN to create two immersive activations. The case is closed on this CrimeCon so you’ll have to excuse us while we go analyze our own motives as to why we love creating events this awesome.
