ENCORE CREATES A VISUAL SPECTACULAR AT THE QHA AWARDS
The Queensland Hotels Association (QHA) held their Awards for Excellence Gala Presentation on 8 October 2018 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, engaging long-term partner, Encore Event Technologies to delight the 1,100 guests.
Encore were tasked with creating the atmosphere of a modern summer sun-soaked beer garden, indoors. This was achieved through combining an impressive custom stage set, unique multimedia, engaging digital services and stunning creative styling.
Guests were welcomed by lush turf running through a traditional timber arbour dressed in Edison bulb drops and fresh greenery with QHA branding.
With the stage being the focal point for the awards, Encore created a unique custom set which included a 5.7m projection circle along with two large rounded projection screens either side. The full projection surface totalled 26.5m wide x 5.7m high, while 6m delay screens positioned in the back half of the room ensured full room coverage.
“Having worked on the QHA Awards for many years, the challenge is always how to outdo the previous years’ event.
“Our client had a clear vision for this year’s awards and I’m proud to say our team exceeded their expectations,” commented Stacey Buckley, Event Manager – Encore Event Technologies.
Two winding, foliage trusses framed either side of the stage while oversized curved circular trusses covered with foliage and beautiful festoon lighting, hung over the stage and dance floor.
Continuing the styling, a stunning ceiling feature complete with oversized hanging foliage and Edison bulb drops caught guests’ eyes and was perfectly positioned above the second awards presentation area.
Along with incorporating creative and production services, Encore also provided live digital technology via Event Feed social integration. The skin design of the social media feed was also designed to complement the overall theme to complete the experience.
Encore’s latest edition, the Disguise media server, ensured the announcement of the awards ran smoothly, managing 196 cues, live multi-camera switching, audio stings and entertainment tracks. All of this was pre-programmed the week before the event by Encore’s Head of Production Andrew Priddle and Technical Director Tim Stewart.
Kelly-Anne Mott, Events and Partnerships Officer from Queensland Hotels Association was thrilled with Encore’s work.
“We are absolutely delighted with how spectacular the event was. Encore once again delivered, from the custom circular screen and stage set, to the stunning furniture and styling, to the content and digital services.
“Another superb event that addressed our brief beautifully: a modern Queensland beer garden,” said Ms Mott.
