AV is the unsung hero, often because they're behind the scenes, but where would events be without AV?

πŸ˜” Reliance on imagination
Hundreds of paper copies of information or reliance on delegates envisioning the same thing.

πŸ˜– Difficulty hearing
Keynotes shout at the top of their lungs to be heard at the back. No music to set the vibe of the awards ceremony.

πŸ™„ Missing speeches
If you want to be a part of the event, you have to be at the event. No more live event streaming, on-demand viewing or virtual events.

😢 Emotionless ambience
White LED lights shine down on everyone, depriving the room of ambience and excitement.

AV is an outstanding integral sector in the events industry.

On 19th January 2024, we're hosting the first AV Freelancer Awards, created by our very own AV partner, JacobsMassey AV Specialists! The awards evening will celebrate those behind the scenes who create seamless event experiences daily. πŸ‘πŸ‘

One of the main factors when choosing a venue for a conference is the AV facilities πŸ”Š

You don't want to have the guests sitting at the very back unable to see or hear what is going on or they will just leave!

What are we doing to ensure this won't happen at your event:
πŸ‘‰ Invested over Β£250,000 in AV equipment and tech
πŸ‘‰ Working with our AV partner Jacobs Massey
πŸ‘‰ Providing an AV technician on the day of the event

Time and time again we're told just how much clients love the quality of our digital displays 🀩

Guests deserve a clear view from wherever they are sat. Congress Hall's 18ft drop-down screen and two 85" Plasma screens ensure a picture-perfect view whether you are hosting a conference, exhibition, or awards ceremony.

"Year on year, it’s extremely difficult for us to find a venue that’s individual and unique, situated in the West End and able to cope with our IT requirements – we needed over 60 wireless LAN connections at the same time – and for us Congress Centre is a hidden gem...Congress Centre ticked every box – so much so that we’ve already booked it again for next year."

Why location is key when picking your venue πŸ”‘

You wouldn’t choose a venue that isn’t accessible via public transport or it limits the number of attendees!

Congress Centre is located just a three-minute walk from Tottenham Court Road station, and with Oxford Street, Covent Garden and London’s West End nearby, there's plenty to do when the event has finished.
