STLS came on board to handle the technical side of things across the full day, from the exhibition floor right through to the awards ceremony in the evening.
What the client needed wasn’t simple. They wanted a setup that could power multiple exhibition stands during the day, then completely transform the same space into a fully produced awards show, all within a turnaround window that didn’t leave much breathing room.
The brief was pretty clear: get it right, keep it moving, and make sure every bit of it looks the part. Precision and efficiency weren’t just nice-to-haves here, they were the whole point. The audience expected a premium experience, and it was on STLS to make sure that’s exactly what they got.
The Solution; Design, Planning and Execution
During the day, STLS took care of the full power solution across the Great Room. A detailed power plan was put together well in advance, so distribution across the exhibition floor was safe, efficient, and didn’t leave anyone guessing. The team handled the complete rig and de-rig of the power infrastructure, making sure every exhibitor was up and running throughout.
Then came the evening, and the whole operation shifted gear. STLS delivered the full AV production package for the awards ceremony, covering audio, lighting, LED screen, staging, video playback, cameras, rigging, and a crew of over 10 technicians on the ground.
The main stage was built around a large LED screen with a lectern setup, awards lighting, and walk-on music all working together to give the ceremony a proper focal point. Every piece of video content, every award sting, every playback cue was managed carefully to keep the show flowing and the timing tight.
On the planning side, STLS produced technical drawings and show planning documents to map out the power distribution, rigging, and stage layout ahead of time. With a same-day load-in, rehearsal, and live show all happening in sequence, that prep work really mattered.
The standout part of the whole project, honestly, was the room transformation. Taking a live exhibition space and turning it into a fully dressed awards environment within a matter of hours, without cutting corners on quality or how it looked, that’s no small thing.
Throughout the ceremony, corporate branding ran across the LED screen and video playback elements, with STLS managing all the show content including walk-on music, award stings, and visual packages. Everything was kept consistent and on-brand from start to finish.
