Virtual Annual Meeting
Visit Phoenix hosts an annual meeting aimed to inform members of the travel and tourism community on the latest happening of the market. In 2020, we were faced with the unique challenge of presenting this typically in-person program virtually. Our goal was to re-engage and re-ignite the members of the community after a tumultuous six months for the industry and provide information to help get their businesses on the road to recovery.
Complete Event Production
The Visit Phoenix meeting is quite the feat in Phoenix so as the first virtual annual meeting, all the bells and whistles needed to be pulled out. The Orpheum Theater is a historic theater in the Downtown Phoenix area with an exquisite opera hall fit for the occasion. After securing the venue, we communicated with Visit Phoenix on all expectations for the show. Our director then took over calling the shots switching from pre-recorded videos, to presenters and panelists both virtual and physically on set along with controlling the audio and lighting of the theater.
Audio Visual Services
With this being a fully virtual event, all of our attendees joined in live to watch the program. Several of our presenters were in-person with a few online. With the help of one of our 4K cameras mounted on a 24' jib arm, we were able to capture the CEO of Visit Phoenix walking through the aisles of the theatre to open the show. He addressed the effect of COVID-19 and how Phoenix is prepared to rise and flourish as we come out of the situation while also taking the precautions to protect the community. The show then switched to a panel with five panelists speaking on Phoenix marketing and brand campaigns promoting travel for both leisure and business. The show also included a panel of four where two panelists joined virtually, each shown on their own vertical LED panel giving the feeling that they were in the room.
