John Vadino can be called a visionary. His dream for The Production Network began 18 years ago when he started the company with his business partner Richard Moore. Both had been making their mark individually in the theatrical arts when they decided to collaborate as a team in the corporate environment. TPN grew from a two-man shop to 87 full time employees creating corporate and special events, exhibits, displays and museum installations throughout the world. TPN currently
produces more than 500 events a year.
As President and CEO of TPN, John Vadino leads an extraordinary team of passionate and creative individuals experienced and trusted in their fields. John's enthusiasm is compelling. He inspires everyone he meets. He diligently keeps up with the newest technology and world trends, and does his homework with every client. He learns every detail about their business, the essence of their product and strategic marketing goals. His strength is in bringing people together with his conceptual thinking, on-target messaging and brand-focused creative ideas. His passion is contagious for developing inspirational marketing and promotional concepts. He enhances clients' products through creative events, exhibits, environments and unique promotional initiatives.
One of TPN's greater achievements has been to be at the start of Microsoft's entry into corporate America in 1984 and to be continuously positioned as their exclusive production management company for their high level production events. Microsoft is a company known for cutting edge, over-the-top, better-than-the-competition solutions for their front page audience experiences. To maintain the exclusive services for this industry leader in innovative, live event production is an extraordinary achievement and demonstrates John's commitment to creativity and customer service.
