After the keynote, many people marched from the Cary Grant Theater to the Barbra Streisand Scoring Stage for the CAS's annual event, slightly retitled this year as "Parade of Carts … and Bags." The format was also changed slightly. This year, there was a smaller number of carts and bags shown by invited guests, each of whom worked in different areas of film and television. The guests ranged from bag setups for documentary and reality to large carts used for major feature films. Production sound mixer and CAS Board member Peter Devlin CAS was the host and moderator for the program. The guests were Devendra Cleary CAS, Veronica Kahn CAS, Dan Kelly, Scott Marshall, Gene Martin, Marcus Contreras, and Alex Altman. The crowd listened intently as they explained their choices of gear and why it worked for the genres that they were doing. There were a number of questions from the audience, which was made up of not only production mixers, but also folks who work in post-production. They found the lively discussion relevant and informative. The audience itself was a "Who's Who" of mixers, including living legends Jeff Wexler CAS, former CAS President Mark Ulano CAS, and Jim Tanenbaum CAS. The event was long enough for people to network at the end of the session.
