N-TUTORR, National Conference & Showcase
On April 17, 2024, the N-TUTORR Programme hosted the National Conference & Showcase for Fellowships & Student Champions at Croke Park’s Hogan Suite and online. This high-profile event highlighted the impact of 130 Fellowship Staff/Student Projects and showcased the significant benefits of the Student Champion scheme for students and partner institutions at both national and international levels.
The conference featured keynote addresses from Professor Liz Thomas and Dr. Katriona O’Sullivan, offering insights into student engagement and educational transformation. However, the true highlight of the event was the N-TUTORR Fellows and Champions, who actively contributed through Lightning Talks, Interactive Projects, and Digital Poster Displays, bringing their innovative work and experiences to life.
Value Delivered
AVCOM delivered exceptional value to Inspired Events at the N-TUTORR National Conference & Showcase by combining strategic planning, innovative design, and flawless execution. Our collaborative approach began with an in-depth consultation that transformed the event vision into a fully realised, branded concept. By integrating technical resource allocation, creative event design, and proactive setup and rehearsals, we ensured every detail was meticulously aligned with the client’s objectives. AVCOM’s comprehensive support enhanced the event experience and optimised budget efficiency and operational excellence.
- Project Planning
With just four weeks to go before the event, AVCOM engaged in an in-depth consultation with the event planner to understand the vision and objectives fully. The pre-production team collaborated closely with both the event planner and the Meetings & Events team to transform this vision into a branded, fully realised concept. This meticulous planning process ensured seamless alignment on all event elements, from technical resource allocation to branding execution. Additional solutions were identified and integrated, enhancing the experience and budget efficiency. - Event Design
AVCOM’s Design Team played a key role in shaping the event’s visual identity, working closely with the event planner to develop an innovative and cohesive event design. This included staging layouts, branded props, LED banner designs, and iPoster support, ensuring a unified event aesthetic. By frontloading strategic ideation and meticulous planning, AVCOM provided a well-structured design framework that ensured a smooth transition to execution, maintaining consistency and impact. - Event Setup and Rehearsal
A dedicated 10-person AVCOM team, led by an experienced Production Manager, was on-site the day before the event to oversee a meticulously planned setup across all-conference, learning, and activation areas. This proactive approach ensured a seamless technical and logistical foundation. Comprehensive rehearsals refined camera framing, slide transitions, walk-up music, and lighting levels. Presenters also had the opportunity to rehearse on stage, working closely with AVCOM’s technical team to ensure flawless execution on the event day. - Media Solutions, Displays & Branding
AVCOM provided a seamless managed media solution, ensuring flawless presentations and video playback across multiple projection screens. Discreet remote cameras captured keynote speeches and panel discussions, delivering a broadcast-quality experience for in-person and online audiences.
To reinforce event branding, truss-rigged sustainable LED banners framed the stage and main screen while LED lighting – integrated with the venue’s systems – enhanced the ambience with dynamic mood shifts and spotlight moments.
More than 20 interactive touchscreen totems transformed the foyer into an immersive digital poster exhibition, allowing attendees to explore content at their own pace. Additionally, strategically placed sustainable digital iPosters provided wayfinding, agenda QR codes, and branded touchpoints, eliminating the need for printed materials and supporting the event’s sustainability goals.
