Live in Venice
At first sight, staging a conference in Venice is a daunting proposition! Why? Because it’s Venice and there are no roads! So how did we transport our set, stage and equipment to the Hilton Molino Stucky for a Global Financial Services Tax Directors’ conference? Fortunately the Venetians have had over a thousand years to get used to this sort of thing and our lorry simply drove onto a large barge and was shipped to the hotel, where it moored alongside. Shiver me timbers! Here it was unloaded in 35 degrees of sunshine. Nessun problema!
The conference took place on June 8th to 10th and the theme was Emerging Tax Issues from Global Realignment. We provided an attendee registration website, set design, lighting, sound, projection, video recording and on-site editing. The audience participated using our new voting system.
In November we return to the same hotel for a larger event for the same Client.
Ship ahoy!
