Their biggest room of the year, produced live.

[ The problem ]

PwC runs a flagship annual conference for its people and partners. It has to look and run like PwC: a polished main stage, presenters carried on a large LED screen and image-magnification side screens so every seat sees the speaker and the slides, and remote contributors brought in without a seam. Backlight produces it, across consecutive years.

[ What we did ]
  1. 01Built the main stage and content system: a large LED backdrop and image-magnification side screens so every seat had the speaker and the slides.
  2. 02Ran multi-camera coverage from a vision-mixing gallery, cutting the room to screen in real time.
  3. 03Brought remote speakers in over a hybrid feed, mixed into the same show.
  4. 04Handled the stage design and technical build end to end.
  5. 05On the most recent conference, advised replacing the venue's installed AV with a purpose-built rig, so the room's dynamics were designed rather than inherited.
  6. 06Built the content system to match: an eight-by-three-metre main screen with two one-by-three-metre side screens, driven from Resolume on dedicated cards matched to the walls' native resolution.
  7. 07Produced the Voice of God announcements for every segment, and lit the room to carry the shifts between them.
[ Outcome ]

PwC's annual conference runs as one produced show: the room, the big-screen content and the remote speakers, all cut live by one team, across consecutive conferences. Four years of them now, across two venues.
