So the year is nearly finished, and we would like to thank all our clients, suppliers and freelance staff for such a great year. Swooshed has seen many changes throughout this year and is now more strongly positioned to assist clients in all production aspects whether it be just a simple PowerPoint presentation, a corporate video or a full blown conference.

We finished the year off with a conference and exhibition at Harrogate International Centre. This was a 2 day conference with 34 exhibitors for the insurance industry. It was a fantastic challenge and we split the team to deal with both elements of the event. Mike Lindsay organised the exhibition and James Fickling directed the conference. Both sides of this event went extremely smoothly and were problem free. The exhibition was received very well by the delegates and all the exhibitors were happy with the running of this event.

“A mixture of shell scheme stands and custom space’s worked really well in this venue. The main issues that I had to organise were the limited build time and the low ceiling in this exhibition hall. But with careful planning all these problems were overcome, oh and all the snow that we had did not help!”

Says MD Mike Lindsay.

Swooshed also provided exhibitors with all technical and furniture requirements as well as onsite support during the event..

In the auditorium, Director James Fickling organised all the technical aspects and the running of the conference. Providing the client with a slick and highly polished show was the main brief. Designing a stage that extended onto the existing Harrogate International Centre stage, allowing the speakers to get closer to the delegates was one main feature of the conference. Also following the client brief to keep the stage design within their event theme. MD James Fickling said,

“this conference was all about image. To achieve this the main projection screen was a key aspect, so we resorted to an 8 metre wide screen with 40 thousand lumens of HD projection to make the image bright and crisp! We also used the Barco Encore system to provide moving picture in picture which makes a massive difference on a screen this size”

The conference was closed by the high profile guest speaker Sir Ranulph Fiennes.

Pictures of this event will be in the gallery soon.

Finally we would like to wish you all a

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
