Our Client, provide some of the world’s most advanced, technology-led defence, aerospace and security solutions with a skilled workforce of 93,100 people in around 40 countries. They chose Beagle Create to produce their annual leadership conference and the first following some exciting restructuring and acquisitions.
There would be multiple days of presentations with detailed slides and bold videos all closed with an awards ceremony. They wanted something impactful that didn’t give their delegates presentation fatigue and brought this yearly event back with a bang.
Held at The Grove Hotel – London’s Country Estate, we were challenged with transforming the event space so that 200 delegates could all see the slides and video content. We designed a solution which not only delivered uncompromised views for every delegate but cut through the abundance of natural light flooding into the amber suite.
A 22-metre (roughly the length of two London busses) high-res super widescreen LED video wall was installed. It included three straight sections of LED, all linked with curved sections cunningly molded behind the pillars. Everyone could see everything, with ease – mission accomplished.
Since this event was their 1st business anniversary as the new Digital Intelligence brand, they were open to rethinking the format of their awards evening and Beagle Create offered up an experience of how things might flow better for them and deliver a better experience to their guests.
After a long day and a large meal, we wanted to bring the energy levels up, ready for the awards ceremony so we commissioned a 5-piece LED drumming flashmob to perform. They were not only loud, visually stunning and slightly strange to look at, but interacted with the audience and closed their act to a huge round of applause.
Eightfold.ai are a Californian company leading the way in Artificial Intelligence HR software with their Talent Intelligence Platform. We were tasked with producing a conference for them held at Shangri La in The Shard, London.
As current and potential clients would be attending, they wanted a high-end feel with slick production to emulate their larger events held in the US.
This event was created with the objective of bringing together the best in HR and Recruitment from across Europe. The day would include speeches from industry thought leaders and networking. Eightfold.ai would also use this opportunity to educate about using AI in HR and win new business.
Working in one of the tallest buildings in Europe, especially one with such a distinctive shape and in one of the most expensive cities in Europe, every square foot is used and storage space is incredibly limited.
Being on the 34th floor, we didn’t have the option of returning any cases or materials to our vans. This had to be considered when designing the space and choosing the equipment we would use. With the venue’s booking the night before we couldn’t set up that evening, and an 8am start time left us with no room for error. The space was also booked after the show finished, leaving us just two hours to have all the stage, set and equipment gone before the next guests arrived.
With Eightfold.ai being an internationally based company, we wanted to provide a warm welcome to the UK and a flawless experience. Late night video calls and responses were essential during planning to work with differing time zones.
We also had to ensure there was no ambiguity with setup and equipment due to subtle industry terminology differences.
Our client wanted a widescreen LED video wall that could be seen by all 400 of their conference attendees. Despite the space being tight we delivered an impactful and memorable event for everyone.
Our client approached us to create their annual company conference. The first company wide, in-person conference after Covid restrictions were lifted. This was a large conference about the company’s performance, strategy and direction.
The aim of the event was to communicate directly with all of their team and look forward to their goals and projections for the coming year, before celebrating in the evening with a festival-themed party. This 400-attendee conference involved presentations, panel talks and Q&A sessions. To achieve this, they needed a large (14 metre) LED video wall erected at the venue, Wyboston Lakes in Bedfordshire.
The venue was fantastic but with so many attendees, we were presented with various challenges: fitting everyone in, fitting the equipment in alongside the attendees and, crucially, making sure everyone could see the stage and screen. Put simply, we had a lot we needed to achieve and little space to achieve it in!
To remedy this, we made plenty of site visits prior to the event to scope out the space. Using our visualisation software, we could plan out the spacing of the room to the millimetre. Limited power supply at the venue meant we opted for all-LED stage lights so that we could run the entire set up from local 13amp power sockets. For the fourteen metre LED video wall we used a one-metre-deep ground support that maximised floor space. We also introduced curved edges to the stage to create a walkway for guests to use where there would have otherwise been dead space.
