Value Delivered

AVCOM’s engagement commenced just one month before the event, starting with an in-depth consultation between the in-house account manager and the client to understand the vision and scope thoroughly. The outcome was an immersive, flawless event that not only met our client’s objectives but exceeded expectations, leaving a lasting impression on all attendees.

  • Comprehensive Project Planning: The pre-production team worked closely with the venue’s Meetings & Events team to meticulously translate their vision into a comprehensive concept. This collaboration ensured perfect alignment on all event aspects and the precise allocation of technical resources and equipment. Additional solutions were proposed and seamlessly integrated into the plan, resulting in a refined and confirmed budget that set the foundation for a successful event.
  • Detailed Event Setup and Rehearsal: A five-person AVCOM team was on-site the day before the event to set up and conduct comprehensive tests. This preparation ensured that the following morning’s client rehearsal went smoothly. Camera framing, slide transitions, and walk-up music were fine-tuned during rehearsals, while lighting levels and stage setups were finalised. Presenters had the opportunity to practice their presentations on stage, working closely with the technical team to ensure perfection.
  • Managed Media Solutions: AVCOM provided a managed media solution that guaranteed seamless presentations and video displays across multiple projection screens. Discreet remote cameras captured every moment, including dynamic panel discussions, ensuring a broadcast-quality experience for the audience. LED lighting, in conjunction with the venue’s inbuilt systems, added to the event’s ambience, creating mood shifts and spotlight moments for presenters.
  • Engaging Lunchtime Entertainment: To enhance the attendees’ experience, AVCOM supported the “Singers for Hire,” which performed during lunch. These performers, disguised as catering staff, provided surprise entertainment that kept the energy high during the break.
  • Networking Opportunities at the Evening Reception: The event concluded with an evening reception, offering attendees additional time to network and engage in discussions, further enriching the conference experience.
