HWC Events & Rental

Audiovisual Partner of Event Organisers

Audiovisual technology is indispensable when you need to get your message across. By using the right technology, you can make your message crystal clear both aurally and visually. What’s more, the space also plays a big role in your guests’ experience, which will also affect the quality of the message you’re trying to send. Convention locations are often as sterile as possible in order to make them suitable for as many kinds of events as possible. Sadly, this means that they’re not usually the most inspiring environments for events.

Backdrops are often used in order to make a venue fit with an event and to create the right atmosphere amongst the guests. This back wall can – depending on the budget – be used in many different ways. You can make use of existing rental products, but also of personalised articles that are specifically made for the event and venue. There is a background for every budget.

This article will provide information as to how a back wall can be styled for different budgets. Of course, any décor can be adjusted to the desired dimensions of the event. Please don’t hesitate to contact us for any information or to get feedback about an idea. We are happy to help.

Are you looking for a simple and economical solution for a back wall? Then pipe & drape is good option. Back walls like these are easy to set up and can be adjusted to be any width up to 1.8 meters. The height can also be adjusted (without a ladder) to a maximum of 4 meters. This makes it possible to create a back wall like this for any venue.

Because the system only makes use of rental items, the costs are low. The materials can also be used many times for different events. However, there are limitations. There isn’t an unlimited choice of material colours. The material comes standard in black, white, burgundy and LED (black cloth with white LEDs). Of course, the cloths combined with the right lighting will create an atmospheric result, but actual ‘branding’ using these cloths isn’t possible.

It is of course possible to combine a back wall like this with projection. However, this is only possible with aspect projection. Rear projection is not possible with back walls of this type. Projection screens must be mounted on the correct stands. If you are looking to hang up your projection screens on this back wall, the pipe & drape system is not what you need- in these cases, you can make use of truss.

Are you looking for something affordable, but still tailor-made for your event? Then a textile frame might be the right option for you. In order to make this possible, materials from our rental assortment are combined with personalised materials. The best of both worlds, you might say!

Firstly, the décor frame is built out of aluminium panels. The height and width can be adjusted by using different types of panels. This means that it’s no problem at all to adjust the backdrop to the desired dimensions. We offer not only the ever-popular straight back wall, but also walls of other shapes. By using corner pieces and curved pieces, we can create pretty much any shape.

After creating the skeleton, these frames will be finished off with a personalised textile print. This will be seamlessly mounted in the frame, meaning that the frame itself will be pretty much invisible. It’s a great look.

But wait, there’s more! You can also use the backdrop in combination with video. The frame, which is reinforced internally, can carry a large amount of weight. It’s absolutely no problem at all to mount TV screens on this backdrop. It can also be used with both aspect and rear projection.

ATOMIC is a product which offers custom solutions using existing rental products. Think of it as a sort of Lego. Using a huge assortment of different kinds of panels, you can create a (pretty much) custom back wall. With such a huge choice of open, closed, 2D and 2D panels, it’s almost impossible to come up with a concept that’s been used before.

ATOMIC’s panels can be used in all kinds of configurations and with all kinds of dimensions. It’s possible to build a hanging back wall at a convention, but these panels are also often used at small conventions (multiple standing back walls or columns), for lobby decoration (room dividers) or at networking events (personalised pillars).

ATOMIC structures only really come to life when combined with lighting. Lighting emphasises the structure of the panels, creating a real experience. Open panels lend themselves perfectly to being lit up on both the front and back side in order to create depth. Three dimensional panels are more suitable to being lit from the top and bottom. Every panel will create a different result, but it really comes down to creating depth within your décor. Closed and flat panels are great for creating your own vibe by using stickers or other personalisation tools.

ATOMIC’s panels are perfect for use with projection. The options will differ depending on the type of construction and the types of panels. Please contact us to inquire about the possibilities for your event.

It’s nice to know that ATOMIC was developed with a ‘zero waste’ mentality, making it extremely environmentally friendly. The panels are reused multiple times and not produced for each event. Because the panels are only 57.2×57.2 cm, they can be transport compactly. Only a few flight cases are needed to transport a huge back wall, which saves money and space during transport. After use, absolutely no waste is left behind. All of the parts, including couplers and links, are repacked and can be used at the next event.

Looking for a truly personalised back wall for your event? Then you can’t really do any better than a timber construction. Using existing panels, we create a base which will eventually become a construction of any shape or size. This back wall will then be fitted with a print, allowing your décor to mesh completely with the image of your event.

Based on standard panels, the construction will be completely custom made according to your wishes as well as what is possible at your venue. The décor will include your pre-designed print. You can also choose to have a separate surface for projection. You can also choose to coordinate the edges of your stage with the style of the back wall or choose to upholster your stage in the style of your décor. Timber constructions can be combined with ATOMIC products. The possibilities are endless.

The projection possibilities with timber constructions are endless. Seeing as you will be working with a personalised solution for a specific location, both aspect and rear projection are possible with an integrated or separate projection screen.

Looking for complete freedom when arranging your back wall? Build a back wall out of LED panels! A large number of LED panels together form a huge screen. With the right controls, you can divide this screen anyway you like. You can think of it as a huge, empty canvas on which you decide what gets shown. This isn’t limited to just one image like a powerpoint or a video on a TV screen. It’s possible to choose what is displayed where, and how big you’d like it to be.

Powerpoint both on the left and right hand side of the screen? No problem. Show videos full screen? No problem. Only images from the camera? No problem. Powerpoint in combination with camera images? No problem. Animated background and atmospheric images? No problem. Anything is possible and can change during the presentations. The possibilities are endless.

In order to get an accurate cost estimate, it’s important to think about what you would like to display. The way things are shown and the number of frames are important factors when deciding what peripheral equipment is needed, which will of course impact the price. We would love to sit down and talk with you about the possibilities.
