EPIC, the Egg and Poultry Industry Conference

The brief:

On the back of general uncertainty in the UK economy the Conference has a key role to play in providing platform for the industry and leading stakeholders to look forward and develop strategies to weather the developing storm.  Focussing on the theme of “Leading the Way to Success” the Conference had many objectives including: -

• To inform and stimulate debate amongst delegates with a topical programme
• To provide a range of perspectives and opinions from leading sector specialists plus many more...

The EPIC Conference celebrated its 44^th year with a series of events, banquets and the main Conference and Exhibition programme. The Conference was opened by John Cessford with sessions chaired by James Hook.

On the day:

Glasgows provided a full AV and technical production service including the supply of all equipment, engineers and camera crew.  This year the conference went ‘widescreen’ utilising one of Glasgow’s cost effective stock set solutions.  Multilayer graphic control was used to combine presentation graphics, live camera relay and video material, onto the single large widescreen backdrop.

Glasgow’s also provided further support for three dinner/banquet events, plasma screens throughout for exhibitor/sponsor exposure and custom badge and lanyard production for all conference and exhibition guests.

Outcome:

 

2010 marked the eighth year that Glasgows has provided production and technical support for the Conference.  In recent years the Conference has gone from strength the strength with delegate registrations increasing year on year.  As a result of the measures implemented by the organising team including upgrading the audio visual and stage management of the event and using video technology to increase delegates’ enjoyment of the speakers' presentations the event has achieved a 25% growth in total industry participants over a 5 year period, together with a 30% increase in the numbers attending the conference banquet.

“This job went extremely well, thanks again to both you and the team, who were all brilliant.”
