Despite the forecasts of doom and gloom all around, events, production and communication experts, R&B Group, have just completed a very successful conference project for the Chartered Institute of Housing.The event, held in Harrogate in June, represents one of the largest gatherings of housing professionals in Europe, as they come together to debate and discuss the very real issues faced by the sector.
During the week thousands of delegates, presenters, exhibitors and visitors descend on the Harrogate International Centre.
To facilitate the audio-visual aspects of the conference, R&B provide a team of 30 engineers who work closely with the event organisers, Ocean Media Group and the venue technical staff.
2010 was the 9th year that R&B have provided support for this event, which is always a highlight of the year.
Project Manager and Director of R&B looks forward to this project each year and commented: “This year saw some significant changes to the event, brought about through budget implications and a constant drive to innovate. We introduced a live Twitter feed to the projection screen in the main auditorium which gave another channel of communication for delegates, presenters, media and of course, CIH staff.”
As well as AV support in 5 conference rooms, R&B Group also supplied numerous plasma screens to exhibition stands and produced a daily in-house/web TV programme, reporting on the breaking news from presenters, and interviews with the key movers and shakers in the sector.
The 3 day conference culminated in a session with the new housing minister, Rt. Hon. Grant Shapps MP, which saw him receive a clear message from delegates about their priorities for the new government.
