A man with curly dark hair, seen from behind and lit in blue-toned light, stands in the center of a large room reading from a piece of paper held in his hand. He faces a seated audience of conference attendees wearing name badges, arranged in a wide circle around him in what appears to be a converted theater or hall with ornate architectural columns and a stage with lighting rigs in the background. Papers, phones, and bags are scattered among the seated participants, who watch and listen attentively.
A group of people are in a bar that is well lit, standing speaking with one another across diverse tables.
