Spectators participating at a sports car event Astonishing the cloud crowd

Our client, an influential technology leader agrees with us that a corporate conference should surprise and delight. So, when we suggested they defy expectations and keep the audience on the edge of their seats, they said, sounds great, surprise us! We transform their annual event into a theater experience that attendees look forward to because they’re excited to see how far it’ll go this time. Whether it’s on-stage pyrotechnics, an executive’s zipline entrance, or a marching band that parades onstage unannounced, it’s an adventure that attendees encounter when they least expect it, each time, every time. That lets our client prove you can convey a message and astonish at the same time—in fact, it’s more memorable when you do.

What we offer

Business theater. This is not your father’s slide deck. Not only will you deliver notable celebrities and pundits, you’ll challenge your audience to think innovatively (and keep talking about it long after the curtain closes).

Sticky messaging. In a world where people are constantly being marketed to, you need to be unforgettable. With our help, your message will be extraordinary and stay fresh, even with today’s information overload.

Changed behavior. To help your audience free their thinking, you need to make them feel something dramatically different. We’ll surprise them, delight them, and help them think outside the ordinary so they bring back solution stories that keep teams inspired.

A four people talking about world safety summit Driving the experience for driverless vehicle developers

When you put engineers, city planners, and computer wizards who’re developing tomorrow’s driverless vehicles under one roof, you need an event that rules the road. That’s exactly how we helped the thinkers behind this pioneering organization. With a successful event in the rearview mirror from the year prior and expectations for the event to keep growing, they wanted to ensure everything would continue to operate like a well-oiled machine. A challenge like that puts us in overdrive. We strategized logistics, guided the speakers towards clear take-away messages, and produced videos that communicated messages with levity to keep the event moving. All of which lead to a marketing map the client can use down the road. Next year, they’ve asked us to go even farther.

What we offer

The big picture. We assist clients in shaping general sessions so the elements complement each other achieve the greatest impact on the audience.

A smooth ride. We interview your keynote speakers and panelists to facilitate and enhance their interaction to ensure clear and meaningful audience “take-away” messages from the presenters.

Caught on camera. We can capture all your seminars, speakers and break-out sessions on video and produce exhilarating “event highlights” videos to show the pulse of your conference to anyone who missed it—and entice next year’s attendees.

A two women performing circus Obstacles, what obstacles?

Sometimes a client wants an event that at first blush seems inconceivable. With over 30 years of experience, nothing is impossible for our team. We were asked to produce an exotic experience in the Caribbean with all the bells and whistles: food, beverages, cocktails, dancing and a live band. The only hitch was that the client wanted a large party on a small sand spit only accessible by boat. So we worked with them to build a stage on pilings over a placid lagoon, with lights, musicians, dinner—the whole enchilada. Needless to say, everyone loved this solution.

What we offer
Innovation in design and production. We look at everything from a different angle and offer the engineering, creativity and passion to produce extraordinary affairs.
Safety first. You’ll find us big on innovation but also expert when it comes to keeping our clients protected. Count on us to assess risk and build in safeguards. The results are spectacular.
Loads of experience. We’ve literally been there, done that, with decades of expertise gleaned from producing thousands of events like clockwork. We’ll find ways to make your best ideas happen.

A camera making a video for four people in front of the stage Getting down to business

Live webcasting for analyst meetings or employee All-Hands meetings may look easy yet it’s actually complex. For these events, we skip the glitz and focus on reliability, simplicity, crystal-clear messaging, flawless audio and video quality, and seamless connectivity. Usually the content is highly confidential so we work hand-in-hand with a webcast provider that can guarantee a secure network. Although we’re producing a live event, we design for the webcast audience first and foremost so everyone’s engaged and on the same page. Straight-up facts presented with dexterity and total reliability.

What we offer
Behind the scenes mastery. It takes precision producing to make sure an employee in Seoul is seeing the same slide as one in Silicon Valley. We pull that off with scrupulous planning and rigorous storyboarding to ensure in-sync production.
On point. The intent is to produce a meeting (even when they’re an all-day broadcast) that is engaging and professional without being splashy or excessive. We do that by providing technical perfection backstage and meticulous camerawork at the live venue.
Video excellence. Often a client requests that we package videos post-webcast that convey specialized information for internal purposes or their YouTube channel. Our postproduction team can assemble myriad narratives after the event so you get more than a one-off webcast.

When you’re producing a conference for the world’s GPU pioneer, every pixel counts. Blazing fast solutions require visual structures that bend along impossible curves, all designed to satisfy the attendees who’ve seen it all and built it all. When given the chance to marry up-to-the-second video engineering with technical genius and ultra-pro, corner-to-corner projection, we make it happen for our client. That’s why we’ve been asked back time and time again. Because each time, every year, we help them display the most breathtaking visuals you’ve ever seen outside of a state of the art movie theatre.

What we offer

Tenacity. If you’re looking for perfection, our technical engineers will build it. We’re proud to bring our very best to meet the most demanding video engineering production challenges and know we’ve nailed it when we hear 3,500 people collectively gasp.

Technical expertise. We’re not just builders. We understand resolution, compression, and AI algorithms. At a product launch or tech demo, consider us your genie.

Crystal clear. For clients that create the technology that makes things like ultra-high resolution 3D possible, a minuscule loss of pixel count, even on a 110 x 20-foot screen, simply isn’t acceptable. They turn to us to ensure their work is laser crisp. You can, too.
