Aztec Event Services will be providing creative and technical support at Grand Designs Live 2013, 4-12 May, ExCeL, London with a suite of audiovisual services and equipment designed to increase visitor engagement and participation at Britain’s leading contemporary home show.
Aztec will be filming in the ECO home feature area prior to the show’s opening, and editing the footage with a voice over for playback on iPads using a bespoke app that guides visitors through the salient features and technologies of the exhibit.
EventIgnite, the conference and exhibition application, is being deployed by Aztec to create a local twittersphere for use in the “Ask an Expert” feature on the show floor. Here it will be combined with a live moderation facility to allow the streaming of tweets onto one of three 42″ LED screens. Tweets will be moderated and selected for relevance, and the questions will be answered live by the experts in attendance.
In addition, Aztec will be providing, installing and supporting all the traditional AV equipment for Grand Designs Live, including the staging, lighting, PAs, displays and projection systems.
Leo Speck, sales director at Aztec, was looking forward to the event, “It’s quite exciting to be deploying EventIgnite at a major show, the social media functionality really lends itself to this application. We know that a live, moderated, twitter feed is a great tool for getting people involved, and the added capabilities we get through EventIgnite should amplify the effect.”
Nathan Garnett, event director at Media 10, was clear why Aztec was selected as official AV supplier to Grand Designs Live 2013, “Aztec has proven ultra-reliable over the years and we get great support from Leo and Ash, who feel like part of the team on Grand Designs Live. We have an enormous amount of feature content at Grand Designs Live, and so our chosen AV partner is one of our most important contractors.”
