I use the main cue list to change color on the scenery as different people take the stage. I will light the set in different manners to try and create a separate scene for each speaker. On the next faders, I put intensity cues that will automatically light each podium. Sometimes an unannounced person will appear, or a scheduled guest speaker will walk to the wrong podium. You must light them immediately.
