Australia - TDC (Technical Direction Company) took home the Best Technical Achievement Award for their work on Vivid Sydney 2022 at the Australian Event Awards 2022 held in-person aboard The Jackson luxury superyacht in Darling Harbour, Sydney on 23 November 2022.
The Australian Event Awards recognise the entire events industry, fostering continued excellence and innovation. Not only did TDC take home Best Technical Achievement, but the company was a National Nominee for Best Achievement in Marketing or Communication and TDC LiveView real-time out-of-home city-wide digital signage and monitoring system was a National Nominee for Best Innovation, New Product or New Service. This is the second year TDC has been shortlisted a National Nominee at the Australian Event Awards and this year was their first win.
Judges of the Australian Event Awards said: “The innovation and delivery by TDC to enhance this event was first class. The new laser technologies really lifted the colour and resolution of the displays this year and it’s fabulous to hear that this has been achieved with a reduction in energy consumption. The technical achievements were multiple and excellent. Congratulations on a fabulous event.”
For Vivid Sydney 2022, TDC delivered the largest ever quantity of technology. This included large-scale laser projection mapping, LED screens, wayfinding and super-powered custom-built media server technology for over 27 visual installations and projection artworks across Sydney.
“For 11 years, TDC has worked with Destination NSW to bring Vivid Sydney to life. It’s an evolving production and we are continually innovating,” said Michael Hassett, founder and managing director at TDC.
Thirty TDC crew worked tirelessly on every technical detail starting with concept through to completion. “Every TDC team member enjoys a rewarding experience because they care about creating a remarkable event each year. The Australian Event Award is an important award and recognition of our work. We were amongst a great lineup of shortlisted nominees and award winners,” said Michael Hassett.
