FUTR at London’s Business Design Centre
UK - Technical event specialists Light Fantastic Production Services partnered with FUTR Summit to produce its recent event at London’s Business Design Centre.
Billed as Europe's only annual summit focused on fresh thinking and progressive change in the future of retail, marketing and commerce, FUTR brings together a diverse mixture of international brands and retailers.
Featuring over 200 guest speakers, this high-profile event required planning and delivery of a comprehensive audio, video, scenic and technical support solution, to create the perfect environment in which to welcome both presenters and delegates.
Keeping the main stage presentations crystal clear within the venue’s bright central atrium, LFPS deployed their new Panasonic RZ 12K laser projectors.
In tandem with a main stage auditorium, the company also created a pair of ancillary stages. Located on the venue’s lower level surrounded by highly reflective glass on all sides, these secondary stages presented a number of acoustic challenges requiring a cautious approach to the design and installation of the audio system. With the sound taken care of LFPS designed a further two stage sets featuring large format branding, with inset 98” LED displays for added visual impact.
To assist in the smooth running of the event, LFPS also handled all content management, liaising with the large roster of guest speakers, providing them the opportunity to preview and amend their presentations prior to taking the stage. In facilitating this, LFPS installed a networked solution between all technical areas throughout the venue.
Rob Myer, managing director at LFPS says: “The bright, airy feel of the Business Design Centre lends itself perfectly to staging an event such as FUTR. It’s been a pleasure to work with the team to assist in the delivery of such a forward-thinking event.”
