"We can all get on with doing whatever we need to do, with 100% confidence in the AV.

We just leave that to the experts."

We liaised with Kelly Walden, event organiser and also the MC for the day prior to the event. Kelly professed honestly, “I’m not brave enough to do something like this without you guys being here!” Once we had a detailed overview of the conference and its audio-visual requirements, we got down to business.

Our Hire & Operations Team met twice to ensure that they had covered all bases and we followed procedures to the letter. Our technicians arrived the morning of the event and set up the equipment: two projectors running onto two screens to cater for the shape of the room, a sound system, lectern, stage monitor, lapel mics for the presenters and a number of wireless mics for the audience to use when asking questions.

Our operator for the event arrived and briefly chatted to each presenter about their needs, ensuring that their presentations would run smoothly.

In the words of Kelly again: "We can all get on with doing whatever we need to do, with 100% confidence in the AV. We just leave that to the experts."

Both days went without a hitch and the parting words from one of our Men in Black Shirts: “I know it has been a good day when the audience don’t know I was there,” – Brian McDougall, Operator.

With that Kelly the MC went home for a wine and the operator handed over to more men in black shirts to whisk away the equipment back to base.
