Transform your event with AV
If someone said ‘event AV’ to you, you’d probably think about mics and big screens. But there is so much more to audio-visual than that.
It can enhance the look and feel of your event, offer an unparalleled delegate experience, and even boost engagement.
Last week, the stage at the Elgar Concert Hall in The Bramall dazzled for the University’s Annual Meeting, with a huge high-impact LED screen, which drew every eye and created a cinema-like experience.
“The clarity and brightness of the LED screen took the event to another level compared to a traditional projection setup“, said Stuart Panrucker, Events Assistant for the University’s Stakeholder Relations Team. “The Bramall technical team worked hard to showcase our work in an original and exciting way.”
Of course, not every event an academic conference doesn’t need all the AV bells and whistles that a larger-scale performance or award ceremony might do. So, it’s important to consider exactly what you want to achieve with your event before choosing the right AV for you.
With years of experience tech expertise, our AV team can help you get started, offering you the right level of support for your event and budget. Here are just three ways you can bring your event to life with us at the University of Birmingham.
Be seen and heard
The main purpose of AV is to help you successfully present your content to the audience. Whether you’re hosting a glittering awards ceremony or a multi-sessional conference, you’ll want to ensure you, your presenters and your speakers are heard loud and clear. We can help you do just that with:
- Speaker support to help them feel confident on the day.
- The right mics, including fixed and radio, depending on your event type.
- Sound engineer support, including lectern set-up, to ensure everything’s at the right volume.
- Lighting packages to help enhance your space and present yourself in a good light.
- Throwable mics and more to help boost audience engagement.
