Conferences |Meetings |Presentations | Awards Ceremonies
We delivered the complete technical production for a corporate awards ceremony, followed by live music for the after party.
Working from the client’s brief, our team managed the project from initial design and technical planning through to installation and live operation. The production brought together staging, LED screens, digital content, live video, sound, lighting and rigging, supported throughout by our technical crew.
The Brief
The brief was to create a high-impact awards environment that looked polished in the room and on camera, while also working practically for a busy awards programme.
With a large number of awards being presented, speed and stage flow were key considerations. The design needed to allow winners to leave the main presentation area, have their photographs taken and clear the stage efficiently, without interrupting the flow of the ceremony. The room also needed to transition from the formal awards presentation into live music for the after-party.
Design & Pre-Production
The project began well before arriving on site.
Our team produced 3D CAD drawings and technical designs to plan the stage, screens, lighting, rigging and production areas within the venue.
We worked directly with the venue throughout the planning process, coordinating the technical requirements and ensuring the complete production could be installed safely and efficiently.
Key elements included:
Full 3D CAD and technical design
Venue liaison and production planning
Rigging design and coordination
Stage and screen positioning
Lighting design
Audio and video planning
Crew and technical logistics
Stage Design & Award Flow
The stage was designed around both presentation and practicality. Stage wings were incorporated specifically to improve the flow of award winners, creating dedicated areas for photography away from the main presentation position. This meant that while photographs were being taken, the next award could continue on stage an important part of keeping a large awards programme moving smoothly.
LED Screens & Digital Branding
Rather than relying heavily on traditional printed backdrops, we created a digital-led solution for the event branding.
Four vertical LED totems formed the centrepiece of the stage design, displaying company branding and event graphics throughout the ceremony.
Two further 3.5m x 2m LED video walls were positioned to the left and right of the stage, giving guests across the room a clear view of the awards content and live action.
Using LED also gave the client far greater flexibility to change content throughout the event without needing multiple physical printed sets.
Live Video & Camera Relay
Our video team managed the live content displayed across the LED screens throughout the awards. A wireless roaming camera moved around the venue, capturing presenters, award winners and entertainment, with the live feed relayed to the two large LED video walls.
Awards graphics and other event content were also integrated into the screen system, creating a coordinated visual experience across the room.
Sound Throughout the Venue
We supplied and operated the complete sound system for both the awards ceremony and the live music that followed.
Alongside the main PA system, delay speakers were positioned further down the room to maintain clear, even audio coverage throughout the venue.
This ensured speeches, presentations, awards announcements and live music could be heard clearly wherever guests were seated.
Lighting & Rigging
Our team provided the complete lighting and rigging package for the production. The lighting design was developed to give the stage a strong visual presence during the awards while providing the flexibility required when the event moved into live entertainment afterwards.
The technical installation included the necessary overhead rigging and lighting infrastructure, installed and operated by our experienced production team.
Live Music & After-Party
Once the awards ceremony concluded, the technical production transitioned into the evening’s live music entertainment.
By designing the sound, lighting and stage infrastructure around both parts of the event from the outset, the room could move smoothly from a formal corporate awards environment into the after-party without requiring a major technical changeover.
Technical Crew
The event was supported throughout by our on-site technical and production team, including:
Sound engineers
Lighting technicians
Video technicians
Lighting designers
Rigging and installation crew
Production and technical support
Delivered from Design to Show
From the first CAD drawings and venue liaison through to installation, operation and final show delivery, the entire technical production was coordinated by our team.
By combining staging, LED, digital branding, live video, professional audio, lighting, rigging and experienced technicians, we created one integrated production keeping a busy awards ceremony running smoothly before transitioning the venue into live entertainment for the after party.
