The Brief: Full Technical Production for an Awards Event
For an awards ceremony, the technical production has to do more than provide equipment. It needs to support the full flow of the event, from guest arrival and opening remarks through to award announcements, entertainment and closing moments.
The client required a professional setup that would:
Display branded event visuals clearly across the room
Provide reliable speech reinforcement for presenters
Support live music and event audio
Create a clean stage area for presentations and awards
Add atmosphere through lighting
Ensure smooth operation throughout the event
Fit sensitively within the character of Titanic Hotel Belfast
AXL supplied a full event production package including audio, microphones, lighting, visuals, staging, lectern, laptops, video control and technical crew. The quotation specified Titanic Hotel Belfast as the event location, with the rental period running on Wednesday 6 May 2026 from 09:00 to 23:00.
The Venue: Titanic Hotel Belfast
Titanic Hotel Belfast is a distinctive venue with architectural character, high ceilings and a strong sense of occasion. For this event, the room layout needed to accommodate round-table dining, a stage area, live performance space and clear views of the event branding.
The production approach used multiple LED screen, positioned taking the architecture of the space into account, to create visibility from different areas of the room. This was particularly important for an awards event, where guests need to see sponsor branding, event graphics, award categories and speaker content without relying on one central display.
The lighting design also played an important role. Blue uplighting complemented the event’s cyber-themed branding and helped frame the stage area while enhancing the venue’s existing architectural features.
Technical Production Services Delivered
AXL provided a complete technical package for the NI Cyber Community Awards, combining visuals, sound, lighting and staging into one coordinated production.
LED Screens for Corporate Events
A key feature of the setup was the use of three 2m x 2m high-resolution 2.9mm LED video walls. These screens provided bright, sharp branded visuals across the room, helping the event identity remain visible from multiple audience positions.
The LED package also included supporting infrastructure and control equipment, including a Novastar VX600 controller, a PixelHue P10 4K video switcher, HDMI connectivity, power distribution, stacking systems, stage weights and LED wall accessories.
For corporate awards events, LED screens are especially effective because they provide high brightness, strong contrast and a premium visual finish. In this case, the screens reinforced the NI Cyber branding throughout the event and created a consistent visual backdrop for speeches, entertainment and awards moments.
AV Production for Awards Ceremonies
The visual system was supported by show control equipment, including laptops, a professional clicker and video switching. This gave the event team flexibility to manage presentation content and branded graphics smoothly during the programme.
The quoted visual package included a MicroCue Professional Clicker and two Lenovo i5 laptops, supporting presentation control and content playback for the event.
This type of AV production for awards ceremonies is essential because timing, visibility and reliability directly affect the audience experience. When speakers, award announcements and branded content are supported properly, the event feels more polished and easier for guests to follow.
Event Lighting and Sound Belfast
AXL supplied a professional PA system for speech, music and event audio. The audio package included EV EKX-12P active loudspeakers, and a Behringer X32 digital audio mixing console.
The microphone package included a JTS gooseneck lectern microphone, a Sennheiser G3 EW100 4-way rack and three Sennheiser e835 handheld G3 microphones.
This ensured presenters could be heard clearly across the room, while also supporting event flexibility for announcements, awards handovers and live elements.
For lighting, AXL supplied 12x RGBWA+UV LED PAR uplighters, four Chauvet EVE F-160 ZQ RGBW LED Fresnels with zoom and a 16-channel DMX controller.
The lighting created atmosphere, highlighted the stage area and added colour consistency with the event’s blue cyber-themed visuals.
Staging for Awards Nights
The stage design needed to provide a defined performance and presentation area while keeping the room open and accessible for guests.
AXL supplied Revostage 2m x 1m staging decks to raise the LED walls, 1000mm legs and a black tempered glass lectern.
The lectern created a clean focal point for speakers, while the raised stage helped improve visibility for the audience. This is particularly important for staging for awards nights, where guests need to see presenters, winners and key moments from across the room.
Event Delivery and On-Site Crew
The production schedule required a same-day setup, operation and de-rig. AXL provided crew for delivery, installation, technical operation and de-rig across the event day.
The quotation included two additional crew for delivery, installation and de-rig from 09:00 to 14:00, plus two audiovisual technicians for delivery, setup, operation and de-rig from 11:00 to 23:00.
This ensured the event had technical support not only for installation, but also for live operation throughout the awards programme. For professional event production, this is often the difference between equipment hire and a properly managed event experience.
Visual and Technical Impact
The completed production created a strong, cohesive event environment. The LED screens provided a high-impact branded backdrop, while the lighting helped shape the atmosphere of the room. The PA system and microphones supported clear communication, and the staging gave speakers and performers a professional platform.
From the event photos, the production achieved three important outcomes:
1. Strong Brand Presence
The NI Cyber Community Awards branding was displayed prominently across multiple LED screens, making the event identity visible from the stage, dining area and wider room.
2. Professional Room Transformation
The combination of LED screens, blue lighting, staging and lectern helped transform the venue into a polished awards environment while respecting the architecture of Titanic Hotel Belfast.
3. Clear Audience Experience
With multiple display positions, appropriate PA coverage and a defined stage area, guests could follow the event comfortably from around the room.
