Awards Event

The AV Basics for a Good Awards Event

Sound System

A good, intelligable sound system eliminates guest frustration (and the house PA may not be adequate)

Lighting

Good lighting is important so the people on the stage can be seen clearly

Stage

A stage or platform helps all guests have a clear view of the event

Rehearsal

A rehearsal or run-thru will calm nerves, smooth out kinks, and  make sure equipment is functioning as expected

A large screen and platform for a large group

A large screen, an appropriate sound system and a speaker platform all help to improve the experience for attendees.

Lighting, rehearsal and platform

The right lighting can positively enhance your event. And, a rehearsal can make sure it all runs smoothly.

Options to Overcome Venue Obstacles

 

Use IMAG to Keep the Audience Engaged

There is nothing more frustrating for attendees than to be in the back of the room and not be able to hear or see what is going on. If you are in a large room with a lot of guests, “Image Magnification” also know as “IMAG can be used to make sure everyone speaking and receiving an award is seen clearly on the large video screen, all the way to the back of the room.

Image Magnification helps engage audience

Image Magnification, or IMAG, ensures that everyone can see the speaker on large screens or TVs.


TVs Can Be Just What's Needed

If space is tight, or if seats have a poor or obstructed view due to columns or an unusual shape to the room, TVs can be your answer! A combination of a projector with a large screen and a large TV may be the best solution. 

TVs can help with poor visability

TVs can be used in tight places or in combination with a large screen to overcome poor viewing situations.
