Instagram took USITT 2017 by storm when we announced a contest full of hashtags, photos, and Amazon gift cards. USITT attendees used the hashtag #myusitt2017 to take some super creative photos of sessions, Stage Expo, and all things St. Louis.
At the end of each Conference day, two winners were selected by our marketing team which resulted in six winners and a collection of unique photos that will keep the memory of USITT 2017 alive.
The winners shared their thoughts:

“I am a stage manager and one of the things that stood out to me was hearing other people ‘define’ stage management in different ways. There were so many varying opinions and viewpoints.” –Christina Woolard
