Festive opening or unveiling

An opening or an unveiling is often a festive event. Think of events such as the opening of a new office building, the christening of a boat, or the unveiling of a new monument or a new car.
An opening or an unveiling is often accompanied by a symbolic act. This could be a countdown from ten to zero, after which someone hits a red button, a ribbon is cut and confetti is shot into the air.

Would you like to treat your guests to a fantastic experience during your opening or unveiling? We are more than happy to support you in the role of audiovisual partner. We do this not only by renting out audiovisual materials, but also through guidance before, during and after the event.

Possibilities

Special Effects

We can help you create the perfect event using a wide range of audiovisual products. For example, a car can be unveiled by using a drop cloth around the car. This exciting moment can be complemented by using other special effects, such as shooting confetti or slowly raining confetti over the audience. Make an unveiling even more exciting by using a light mist, or let an industrial fan disperse smoke when an object is unveiled.

Lighting

Location and time are of course crucial when deciding on the right choice of lighting during such an event. Will your event take place during the day? Then lighting will be less effective. Is the opening during the evening or in a space or situation where you don’t have to deal with much light? Then you can use various types of lighting from our range to transform entire buildings or monuments into a true spectacle. Would you like to make your company stand out? Then you can make use of gobo projection at your event. This allows you to project a logo or text onto the building, monument or object to be unveiled.

Image & Sound

Speech, audio and visual support can be essential during an unveiling or opening. A speech during the event should be able to be heard by every single person in the audience. Music helps to create a pleasant atmosphere during an opening and by making use of visual tools, you can show your audience an introductory video or film, for example. By using high quality equipment made by renowned brands, you will be sure to be equipped with the best audiovisual equipment for your event.

Hybrid Event

There is always a chance that one or more participants are unexpectedly unable to attend the event- for example if travel to the event location becomes impossible. Turn your opening or unveiling into a hybrid event! By providing a live stream, visitors can still experience the moment and share in the excitement even when they do not have the opportunity to be physically present. By doing this, you can turn your opening or unveiling into not only a local, but a regional or even international event. This is a trend that is developing faster and faster in the event industry, as there are many circumstances which mean that no audience members may physically be in attendance at events.

Execution

The number of products you want to use during your event is a good indicator of the complexity of their implementation. Would you like to activate confetti at the same time as a drop cloth? Do you need audio support as well as wanting the entire event to be live streamed? This is simply impossible if you do not have sufficient technical knowledge. You will need this to be done by audiovisual professionals.

We are very happy to take care of the entire technical production of your event. By using professional technicians for lighting, sound, video and special effects, the tech side of things will be taken care of in a professional and precise manner; you won’t have to think about it at all. We will go through your application with you and provide you with advice regarding any issues that come up. We will schedule a site visit to discuss the possibilities before we start with the pre-production, where we will fill in any gaps in the planning.

Curious?

With years of experience at various locations, we are confident that we can help you make your event an unforgettable success. Are you planning an event that takes place both indoors and outdoors? This can include the opening of a new shopping centre, where confetti needs to be shot outside after a short presentation, whilst music is played inside, for example. No worries, we will take care of the installation of all of the materials and provide technical support at both indoor and outdoor locations.
