2012 Democratic National Convention

The Challenge:

An event like a national political convention requires a massive commitment of planning and execution to provide a dynamic impact for the host city. Conder Flag was selected by two groups to provide the management of project components and the expertise to print and install a wide variety of graphics, signage and banners throughout the city.

The Solution:

For more than 9 months, the Conder team worked with the DNC 2012 Host Committee as it mapped out plans to promote Charlotte to a national audience and to welcome visitors to the convention. All custom street banners and venue graphics were produced in conjunction with Wray Ward, using the Host Committee’s branded logo. This included hundreds of feature pieces at public sites such as the airport, Time Warner Cable Arena, uptown’s public streets and Charlotte’s light rail public transit.

Additionally, Conder worked as team members with Hargrove, the national firm that was responsible for all public venues that the DNC occupied during the four day event. With stringent deadlines and limited security access, Conder staff produced graphics for building identification, transportation graphics, and entry features for both the convention site and Bank of America Stadium in record time.
