Conferences and new staff

ADT have selected Startech to produce 6 conferences throughout September and October across the country.

With the conferences taking place at 5 venues over the space of three weeks, including 2 on the same day, a lot of planning has taken place to ensure no detail is over looked. The conferences in Daventry, Reading and Crewe have each been individually designed whilst at the same time trying to minimise changeovers in between each event.

This mainly has it's biggest impact on the set we can use and to overcome this, Startech's newest member of staff, Richard McAllister, has taken on this challenge and as well as taking set from the warehouse has been building tailor made pieces on site.

Richard has joined the team at what is proving to be an exciting time with conferences nationwide as well as preparing for all that Bonfire night and Christmas will have in store for us.

Walk like an Egyptian

Startech were very proud to have produced the recent British Egyptian Society Conference, Education: The Best Investment for the Future. The conference was held simultaneously in London and Cairo, with presentations and speakers in both venues broadcasting across two continents.

Startech provided staff and equipment in London at the Brunei Gallery whilst Roy was in Cairo ensuring that the Egyptian end of the conference was running smoothly.

Two screens and a full set were installed in London to ensure delegates could see the presentations and presenters whether they were in London or Cairo.

Startech's team worked through the night in London to ensure everything was ready for the conference to begin on time on the Tuesday morning and when the live connection to Cairo was made all the planning was worth it as the conference went without a hitch.
