Doha, Qatar (Live) Cotton Bowl Stadium & Fair Park Dallas, TX Topline 3.17.11 review for

iconic cause + music event • • •

What is the strategic purpose and outcome of this endeavor – the “prize”?

Create an unmatchable platform from which to speak to the World on the value of education, the gift that generates personal, societal, economic, and political benefits for a lifetime. Raise record-setting contributions to charities supporting education, health and hunger relief to meet the World’s hunger in mind and body.

Engage four billion viewers and fans worldwide, while earning a place in history for setting the standard for this type of global event.

• • •

Why should artists and sponsors be excited and inspired by this?

This global event will span distance, time, and cultures with music, the universal language that connects us all. Continued coverage over the event’s full three days, from the opening ceremony to the close, will showcase a sponsor’s purpose, products and philosophy. The World will see, as it happens, the defining moment of a generation’s global movement toward awareness, tolerance, and cooperation.

What are the imperatives for this to occur?

This is not a competitive event similar to winning a bid for the Olympic Games or World Cup, but rather a fight against the tyranny of the clock and calendar.

Competition is for the attention of those whose participation will generate its success – the artists and producers. This confidence will be gained when they see commitment of financial and intellectual resources sufficient to carry the event through to a successful completion. For that, the Primary Sponsor must be “all in … to the end.” Artists, producers, managers, and executive producers will leave their egos at home and focus on the success of the larger event. Contracts with producers, venues, artists, and media must be in place in time to organize and schedule the details of all artists’ performances and special events. Advanced RFID ticketing and social media outreach systems will be tested and fine tuned in two smaller events in the run-up to this event in 2015.

What is the strategy?

• • • • • • • The Executive Production team has: Long-standing strategic relationships within the music and entertainment sector; Deep experience in mega-event production including the original “Live Aid”, “Live Earth”, “Live 8”, and “Woodstock ’99”; A novel RFID ticketing system and related social media marketing system; Relationships and ongoing discussions with American Express, MySpace, E-Checks, and major insurers; Commitments from major vendors at the event’s largest venue, Fair Park in Dallas; Current outreach to over 250,000 Twitter followers and growing fast; and Relationships with key government representatives in London, Rio de Janeiro, and Dallas. These already substantial assets will be integrated into five production “blocks” with central coordination to orchestrate the event.

What are the operational aspects and implementation model?

Five of the World’s most experienced event producers, one of its top business strategists, and two dozen marquee acts have joined the team. Individual live venues – Doha, London, Johannesburg, Rio de Janeiro, and Dallas – will be handled as “blocks,” with individual senior producers handling each one. Integration of performances will be managed at a central media studio.

Special events crossing multiple venues or time zones will be coordinated by the central production team.

Event will follow a 60-minute “production wheel.” Conceptually, rather than put on a single 12-hour concert, production teams will put on a series of 12 one-hour concerts, each with same schedule template. Transitions will occur at the same minute within each hour so those at each venue will know where they are on “the wheel.”

iconic cause + music event • • • • • • • Largest laser and fireworks shows ever produced.

Largest ever walkathon across the US – from Dallas to New York in 4 months – terminating at Times Square on Christmas Day, televised on “Good Morning America.” Primary Sponsor’s logo illuminated in fireworks visible and televised from International Space Station.

Live concert begins in city of Primary Sponsor in the Middle East and ends in Dallas, followed by beginning of walkathon to New York City. Many of world’s top musicians and artists will perform live in city where event begins in Middle East. Some will “bookend,” i.e. play both there and in Dallas.
