Krishner spoke about the technicalities behind the Convention plattform which included the following: logistics, lighting, audio, stage hands, and technicle facilities. Krishner stated "budgeting was a fundamental part of the process in which my experience in economics aided me in that process." Krishner gave us a little insight as to the logistical details of planning and building together a team that he trusts. Krishner stated "Hard work applies to all jobs regardless of industry and should be recognized." The information Krishner provided was helpful in terms of understanding the interaction between the DNCC and the DNC Production team in organizing and coordinating the platform for the 2012 DNC.
