Conference & Corporate Event Production in Belfast and Northern Ireland
Sound, lighting, LED video walls and experienced technical crew for events across Belfast and Northern Ireland.
Frequently asked questions
-
A PA system sized to the room, lectern and wireless microphones, lapel or headset microphones for presenters, an LED video wall or projection, presentation playback with confidence monitors facing the stage, stage lighting, staging and lectern, a named production manager and the technical crew the setup requires.
Quoted separately, and shown as separate lines rather than folded into a single figure: streaming and recording, camera operators, additional breakout rooms, custom set builds and any content production.
-
Crew, on every conference. We do not drop equipment off and leave you to run it. Depending on the setup that means an audio engineer, a video operator running the presentations, lighting and stage crew, and a production manager coordinating the day. The person operating your conference is one of the people who built it that morning.
-
From boardroom sessions of 50 delegates to more than 1,200 across two stages. Recent examples: almost 400 delegates across three rooms at Gemba Summit 2025 in Titanic Belfast, over 500 guests at the NI Chamber Annual Lunch 2026, also at Titanic Belfast, and 1,200+ delegates across two fully produced stages at the NI Chamber Festival of Business 2026 in St George's Market. We deliver more than 300 events a year, so the answer to "have you done one this size" is usually yes.
-
Yes. We supply cameras, camera operators, a vision mix, a stream feed for remote delegates and session recordings for use afterwards. We stream regularly, including the Hack the Isles Live Final at Campbell College Belfast, where we handled streaming alongside full production and power.
Streaming depends on the venue's internet.

Frequently asked questions
-
We plan the whole programme as one build rather than as separate rooms quoted individually. Before the event we agree which rooms carry a dedicated technician, which are set to run unattended, where the roaming technician is based, how presentations reach each room, and what happens when a session overruns.
We ran three rooms at Titanic Belfast for almost 400 delegates at Gemba Summit 2025, the main room plus breakout setups at Galgorm Resort for NI Chamber Momentum 2026, and dual LED walls with breakout presentation setups and digital delegate timers at Meet the Buyer 2025.
-
We take it. We test every deck on the machine that will actually run it, including embedded video and audio, and we cue slides from our machine with an operator so the presenter is not driving an unfamiliar laptop. Confidence monitors face the stage so they can see the current slide without turning round.
Collecting decks the day before makes for a calmer morning, and we will chase them if you want us to. But late decks are normal at every conference we deliver, and we plan for them rather than treating them as an exception.
-
Yes, where the schedule allows it. We build early, run every presentation through the system, check microphone levels with the actual presenters where they are available, and walk the running order with whoever is chairing.
-
For a single-room conference of around 200 delegates, typically half a day. Multi-room conferences and larger LED builds usually need the full day before, or an overnight window.
Short windows are workable when the venue allows it, and we regularly build overnight when a Belfast hotel only releases the room the evening before.
-
Speech intelligibility is the single most common conference AV failure and it is mostly a design problem, not an equipment problem. We size and position the system for the specific room, allowing for ceiling height, hard surfaces and how the audience is seated, then set levels in the room rather than assuming a standard configuration.
Rooms with high ceilings, glass or bare walls need more care. We have delivered in St George's Market and the Whitla Hall at Queen's, which are both acoustically demanding spaces.

Frequently asked questions
-
Yes. AGMs have their own requirements: clear audio for questions from the floor, presentation playback for the accounts and reports, confidence monitors for the board, and a professional look that reflects the organisation in front of its members. We produced the Visit Belfast AGM 2025 at the Europa Hotel with a 6m LED video wall, lighting, staging and microphones, and the NI Chamber AGM 2025 at Queen's University Belfast.
-
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. We keep the layout, the show file and the build detail from one year to the next, so the second year starts from a working setup rather than a blank page. That holds even when the venue changes, which for membership organisations it often does.
Susan Cummings, Event Manager at NI Chamber of Commerce, has described every event we have worked on for them as seamless. That is a multi-event relationship across several venues rather than a single job.
-
In-house AV is convenient and already in the building. It is usually the right answer for a straightforward meeting with a screen and a couple of microphones.
An external production company makes more sense when the event carries reputational weight, when you need a specific look rather than the venue's standard setup, when there are multiple rooms or a complex running order, or when you want the same team and the same standard across venues year after year. It is also worth checking the in-house AV terms before you sign the venue contract, because some venues restrict external suppliers or charge to allow them, and that is much easier to negotiate before signing than after.
We are happy to talk it through even if you end up using the venue's team.

Yes, across Northern Ireland. Recent conferences outside the city include NI Chamber Momentum 2026 and the Fenergo Leadership Summit at Galgorm Resort in Ballymena, Meet the Buyer 2025 at Kingfisher Estate in Templepatrick, the Fermanagh and Omagh Tourism Conference at Glenpark Estate, and East Border Region's 50th anniversary symposium at Canal Court Hotel in Newry. Travel is built into the quote from the start.
