We have recently returned from a 6-day-long Financial Services Tax Leaders conference in Rome. The event was held at the Rome Cavalieri Waldorf Astoria which has the largest and most modern meeting facilities of any luxury 5* hotel in Europe.
Over 170 delegates were in attendance with 22 of our technical crew on site to rig, build and provide support for the duration of the event. We sent one 45ft artic lorry full of technical equipment and one 26 tonne lorry containing the set and stage from the UK.
The main set was 25m wide by 5.5m tall. We front-projected on to 3 screens – the middle screen being a blended super-wide, using two projectors, that measured 8.5m wide.
As we often do for this kind of event, we produced an onsite edited video that closes the conference with highlights from the duration of the event. Due to the formatting of the screens, we actually ended up producing the closing video in two different aspect ratios – for the centre and outer screens – and synchronised them using the AV playback equipment.
