Trimex as Technical Director of the 2024 European Election Night
For the third time running, Trimex proudly took on the role of Technical Director for the European Election Night event, held at the European Parliament’s Hemicycle. Partnering with DB Video and Nimbler, we collaborated with DG-Comm to transform this iconic venue into an exceptional media space designed for a memorable election night.
The Hemicycle was reimagined to accommodate both public and private broadcasters. We built 60 standup positions on three levels of Layher floors, creating a powerful setup where each position conveyed the energy of being live from the European Parliament. To enhance the experience, we installed an expansive, high-resolution LED videowall at the front of the Hemicycle, offering an immersive and dynamic backdrop displaying real-time data, EU-focused clips, and more.
One of the biggest challenges we faced was turning the creative designs of Xavier Nijssen and Dimitri Beyaert into a feasible and secure setup within the Hemicycle’s structural limits. With precision work alongside Stageco Belgium, we crafted millimeter-accurate structures to perfectly fit the space while adhering to the strict load requirements.
Our reliable power plant, built in collaboration with The Powershop, provided over 4000kVA of backup-powered electricity for all technology inside and outside the Parliament. The event’s technical success was the result of seamless teamwork with outstanding partners:
With meticulous planning and teamwork, the 2024 European Election Night became an unforgettable event, broadcasting the vibrant heart of European democracy.
