About the event:
ISBA’s popular annual conference brought together many of the independent education sector’s leading experts offering topical updates for schools plus networking opportunities. With an exhibition of over 170 professional advisers and companies dedicated to providing high-quality services to the education sector.
Held over two and a half days, the event welcomes more than 500 bursars and senior management staff from independent schools every year. As the business managers of schools, they are the key decision-makers in sourcing their school’s services and supplies.
Brief:
Building on the success of their relationship with the ISBA, Showcase was asked to design a modern main stage set using technology to highlight and enhance the event space. They also provided AV support for the exhibitors and provided technical support and solutions for the four breakout spaces – whilst capturing all content via a camera crew and editing live onsite for use as CPD for attendees via the client website portal.
Solution:
Main Plenary: Showcase provided a large 2.6mm LED screen sat on a custom-built stage to display content/background layer/videos and sponsor collateral. This room also held 500 delegates and an audio and lighting solution was provided. The four breakout rooms consisted of projectors and screens along with audio systems and operated by Showcase technicians. The project and account management team were onsite for the duration to ensure a smooth delivery. The six-strong camera team including an editor captured the content of the stages and edited live onsite. The main stage and breakout spaces used a selection of boutique furniture from the Showcase range.
Delivery: For this event Showcase provided 20 onsite staff, 2 x 26T lorries, a Project and Account Manager, plus a video camera team and on-site editors.
The event consisted of a one-day build and a 2.5-day live event.
