What goes into delivering 11 individual events over 7 venues and 10 separate event spaces in just 6 days? Military style logistics coordination, copious coffee consumption, a couple of all-nighters and planning, planning, planning. The result? Event Magic at its best.

Working with dream partner, International Productions for the conference extravaganza; that had up to 800 guests at any given time. Sessions featured custom designed and built TV Studio set, 2 plenaries, 5 awards events, a welcome cocktail function as well as a gala dinner finale. Not to mention the theatrics, live performances from the likes of Guy Sebastian and celebrities guest speakers such as Barry Humphries.

For a such extraordinary event, we needed an equally extraordinary team; we had over 50 AV staff and 130 crew movements to coordinate and manage. This ensured the success of the event, so we could deliver on time and on budget.

When International Productions’ brainchild and our technical direction collide, you have a feast for the senses. Using a 12K pixel wide uninterrupted blend with a staggering 7 x Barco HDX Flex projectors, Barco E2 and Dataton Watchout 6 to visually wrap and transform one of Sydney’s newest and hottest venues – The Venue Alexandria.

Both the pre-function space and the Ballroom became an immersive experience, complementing the night’s run order. From the awards and keynote speakers formalities to live performance and DJ set. Incorporating subtle and precise Lighting design, DMX real-time flashing wrist bands, hidden band stages, audio solutions and full technical management. This was another example of the growing trend that corporate conferences can be WOW.

OzHarvest’s fifith annual Think.Eat.Save events kicked off last week around the country – an annual campaign to raise awareness around global and local food waste and its impacts. Not only some lucky Aussies got to sample a free yummy lunch but also to understand and learn how we can reduce food waste at home and save precious food, time and money. All these have positive impacts in the Aussie home but also within community.

We are proud as always to provide OzHarvest with all technical services and support for the Sydney’s Think.Eat.Save in Martin Place. Where the lunch time crowd gathered for winter warming soups made from rescued produce and prepared by the Chefs of ARIA, Rockpool, Restaurant Hubert and The Star. There were also cooking demonstrations from Masterchef’s Justine Schofield and author and nutritionist Jessica Sepel.

Nothing brings top Australian CEOs and Chefs together like OzHarvest’s CEO CookOff. CEO CookOff 2017 was no different. Matt Moran (ARIA), Neil Perry (Rockpool), Guillaume Brahimi (Bistro Guillaume) and Peter Gilmore (Quay) were amongst the 40 celebrity chefs, who provided supreme culinary guidance to designated teams of 125 CEOs. Together, they were able to feed over 1000 vulnerable guests with a gourmet three course meals. All of which was prepared from rescued produce.

Entertainment for the night was headlined by Aussie legend, Jimmy Barnes while Rove McManus and Sam Frost were the MCs.

OzHarvest was also able to raise nearly $1.7 million, a tremendous effort that will allow them to deliver 3.4 million meals to 900 charities across Australia.

We were the proud partner creating vision and draping.

RTX Sydney is a gaming and internet culture event hosted by Rooster Teeth. And was one of our more technically challenging events. We were responsible for all technical production for the two-day event with a live audience of 7000+ and two separate live streams to reach the virtual audiences. We made sure no one missed on anything from the 4 different, live event spaces. On site, the show crew consisted of 20+ operators all working across audio, video, lighting, cameras, content, webcast and production.

The World Festival of Magic was another event that Austage Event is truly proud to be involved with. It is the longest running magic show of its kind, where you cannot buy tickets to. The event itself was a magical experience for young and old alike; supported by the Variety – the Children’s Charity. The client brief was to “Make the Stage come alive” and that we did. Incorporating custom lighting design with no less than twelve LightSky AquaBeams, for each segment of the 2 show event.
