Hybrid event production for a large‑scale medical conference

Supporting in‑person and remote audiences as AV delivery partner to emc3, with clarity and confidence.

Large‑scale conference delivery led with coordinated technical oversight

A structured approach designed to support scale, complexity and hybrid participation.

The British Society for Rheumatology Annual Conference combines a wide‑ranging programme with a significant hybrid audience. Multiple rooms, platforms and audience types required production capable of managing scale without compromising consistency.

Working as the AV and technical production partner to emc3, CPG supported planning, onsite delivery and hybrid streaming as a single, coordinated process. Our role was to provide calm, dependable technical execution that enabled emc3 to lead the wider event delivery with confidence. This ensured sessions ran smoothly and both in‑person and remote delegates experienced a conference that felt controlled and professionally delivered.

Multi‑space conference production shaped around flow.

Technical delivery aligned across plenary, breakout and exhibition spaces.

Each environment was planned with its own technical requirements while remaining aligned to the wider schedule. In close collaboration with emc3, audio, video and lighting were specified early, ensuring every space operated independently without disrupting overall flow.

Hybrid delivery that extended the conference beyond the room

Integrated live and remote production.

CPG managed live streaming and hybrid delivery across sessions, supporting emc3’s wider production strategy by coordinating onsite and virtual technical delivery as one joined‑up system. This ensured consistent quality for remote participants while maintaining momentum in the room.
