Wesleyan Assurance Society 2011 Conference & Awards

Responding to the client’s brief, TechPro were delighted to provide the creative and technical services for a multi-layered event. Being held at the International Convention Centre in Birmingham, the event day was essentially two very different shows. The main conference held during the day and then followed by a Gala Awards Dinner in the evening, which would recognise Wesleyan staff achievements. The event took place in two separate halls within the venue and to compliment each hall, entirely different Stage and Set backdrops were designed.

Installed in Hall 1 for the conference event was a 14m High Definition wide screen, rigged and flown off the in-house fly bars. The screen surround being of a timber construction and then covered in smart black material, this gave the screen a cinematic feel, suiting perfectly the stage and venue’s auditorium. Keynote graphics were designed for speaker support content, with additional live camera PIP’s and VT inserts from IMAC computers. A two screen Barco Encore wide screen system was used to process and switch all of the video content.

Attractive Corporate Banners were lit by LED lighting and Martin moving lighting was also used to create atmosphere for conference speaker introductions.

For the Audio aspect, the In-house D&B PA system was utilised with TechPro providing wired and wireless microphones.
