As you might expect with an event that spans most of the time zones, and many of our ETC corporate offices, it took a small army to pull it all together. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at what planning and executing a 24-hour event from ETC looks like. **CUE 2022 by the numbers:** - 42 sessions - 6 languages - 15 Source 4WRD Color adapter winners - 242 questions answered live - 1 global challenge from VP of Marketing, David Lincecum If you didn’t get a chance to hear David Lincecum encourage us all to become a more sustainable entertainment industry, we highly encourage you to watch the video here!   Speaking of videos, many, many, (many) hours of filming and editing go into an event like this. Here are just a few images from the weeks leading up to CUE 2022. ![](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/videoediting-cue-350x250.jpg?width=350&height=250&name=videoediting-cue-350x250.jpg) Editing from home ![](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/editing_cue__videos-350x250.jpg?width=350&height=250&name=editing_cue__videos-350x250.jpg) Cats make the best directors ![](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/mazo_cue_-350x250.jpg?width=350&height=250&name=mazo_cue_-350x250.jpg) In the studio ![CUE 2022 video](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/mazo2cue-350x250.jpg?width=350&height=250&name=mazo2cue-350x250.jpg) Filming our keynote   As you can imagine, a CUE 2022 crew loose in the headquarters building overnight gets a little goofy and strange things are bound to happen. Here you’ll see just a few of the inanimate objects that received googly eye updates during the event. ![CUE eyes](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/gogglyeyecue-350x250.jpg?width=350&name=gogglyeyecue-350x250.jpg) ![More CUE eyes](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/marketingroom_cue_-350x250.jpg?width=350&name=marketingroom_cue_-350x250.jpg) ![CUE 2022 checklist](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/CUEchecklist-263x350.jpg?width=250&name=CUEchecklist-263x350.jpg) Checking off each of the 42 sessions as they complete!

She takes advantage of the limited warm months in Wisconsin by participating in outdoor activities like camping, paddle boarding, kayaking, and riding waterslides. She has several gardens that she swears she’ll be able to keep up with someday. And she enjoys stretchy things like new socks, yoga, and taffy. She writes a lot, she reads a lot and she plays with her kids a lot. #### You may also like [![](https://blog.etcconnect.com/hubfs/CUElogo.x600.jpg)](https://blog.etcconnect.com/cue-2025) [FEATURED](https://blog.etcconnect.com/tag/featured) ### [CUE 2025 - GO!](https://blog.etcconnect.com/cue-2025) By [Rachel Frederick](https://blog.etcconnect.com/author/rachel-frederick) 8-May-2025 It’s ETC’s 50th anniversary year, and we’re inviting you to join us for the event of the summer!
