Stagevision Wins Gold for Best General Session Stage at 2023 Event Marketer Awards
We're thrilled to announce that Stagevision has been awarded Gold in the Design category for Best General Session Stage at the prestigious 2023 Event Marketer Experience Design and Technology Awards. This award celebrates our work with Pure Storage at their Pure//Accelerate training conference, where we transformed a general session stage into a dynamic, immersive experience that left attendees captivated and inspired.
A Vision Brought to Life
Staging an event for Pure Storage was a unique opportunity to take an unexpected subject like data storage and bring it to life in a compelling, futuristic way. Drawing inspiration from iconic sci-fi films like Tron, we designed the stage to feel electric and forward-thinking—reflecting the innovation Pure Storage brings to the industry. Attendees were greeted with two towering, floor-to-ceiling LED walls that framed the room, surrounded by an intricate lighting grid of 110 truss pieces and 192 LED panels, all synchronized to deliver a visually stunning experience.
The session’s visual experience was amplified by eight custom 3D video backgrounds, carefully crafted to align with the session’s thematic storytelling. This attention to detail wasn’t just aesthetic; it was instrumental in setting an energized tone for the entire event, engaging audiences from the moment they stepped into the room.
Seamless, Immersive Content Delivery
Achieving a flawless on-stage experience required more than just eye-catching visuals. Our team worked closely with Pure Storage to ensure seamless transitions across multimedia presentations. By match-framing set visuals and video playback to presentation slides, we eliminated any visual disruptions, keeping attendees engaged and in sync with each transition. This smooth content flow wasn’t just for live attendees; a top-tier broadcast setup ensured that virtual attendees experienced the same high production quality, thanks to a team of three camera operators and a jib operator delivering a premium, TV-quality broadcast.
Flawless Attention to Detail
Great design is in the details, and we left no stone unturned. From wireless headset microphones meticulously matched to presenters' skin tones to lighting calibrated for every complexion, every element of the production was crafted to enhance and flatter. The effort extended to the audio experience, where we installed a specialized speaker package to maintain balanced sound pressure throughout the venue, providing crystal-clear audio for every attendee.
Creating an Award-Winning Experience
This award is a testament to the collaborative innovation between Stagevision and Pure Storage, as well as our dedication to creating impactful experiences that elevate the standard for live events. At Stagevision, we believe every detail counts, and we’re honored to see our work recognized on such an esteemed platform.
Thank you to Event Marketer and the Experience Design and Technology Awards for this honor. And a special thank you to Pure Storage for trusting us with their vision—we’re already looking forward to creating more unforgettable experiences together!
