Seamless Hybrid Experience for GII

At LIDA AV, we specialise in bringing hybrid events to life through seamless integration of cutting-edge audiovisual solutions. Last week, we had the privilege of working once again with the Global Investment Institute (GII) at the Grand Hyatt, ensuring their conference ran flawlessly for both in-person and remote attendees.

Seamless Integration for a Flawless Hybrid Event

For years, GII has trusted LIDA AV to deliver high-quality, consistent event experiences. Our approach prioritises precision, adaptability, and technical expertise putting our clients first. At this year’s event, we carefully designed and implemented a hybrid setup that ensured global participants had a seamless and engaging presentation experience.

With expert audio engineering, high-definition video streaming over NDI video and our PTZ camera through vMix with interactive digital content solutions, we created an environment where discussions could flow naturally between physical and virtual spaces. Integration of Slido helps keep in room participation and engagement while every session was delivered with crystal-clear sound, seamless transitions, and minimal latency an essential factor in maintaining engagement in a high-stakes financial conference.

Sustainability in AV: Minimising Impact, Maximising Efficiency

As sustainability takes centre stage in the financial world, we at LIDA AV are committed to doing our part in reducing environmental impact. Our hybrid event services not only expand accessibility but also significantly reduce the need for extensive travel, helping to lower the carbon footprint of large-scale events.

For GII, we ensured a minimal-waste AV setup by employing energy-efficient landscape and portrait displays and our custom build lectern screen. Our team is constantly innovating ways to create high-impact visual and audio experiences while keeping waste to a minimum.

A Team Built on Trust and Expertise

A key part of our success with GII has been the strength of our team. Having collaborated with them for years, we deeply understand their event needs and audience expectations. This long-standing partnership allows us to provide a seamless experience year after year.

From pre-event strategy meetings to on-the-ground execution, our team worked tirelessly to ensure a smooth production. Whether it was fine-tuning camera angles for live stream so speakers might see who is asking question in the Q&A to covering lighting setups, or ensuring real-time audience interaction, every detail was handled with precision and care by our team.

Behind the Scenes: The LIDA AV Difference

The magic of a well-executed hybrid event happens behind the scenes. Our technicians worked in sync to maintain a professional and dynamic flow throughout the event.

  • Pre-Event Planning: We worked closely with GII to map out their event’s specific AV needs, ensuring that every element—from microphones to camera and screen setups was positioned for maximum impact.
  • Live Execution: On the day, our team operated in the background, making sure that presentations, panel discussions, and Q&A sessions ran without a hitch for both in-person and virtual attendees. We prepped the speakers so when it comes time to present they feel supported and everyone is on the same page when it comes to tech.

Looking Ahead

The GII Net Zero event at the Grand Hyatt was a powerful example of how expert AV solutions can enhance hybrid conferences while keeping sustainability at the forefront. With every event, we push the boundaries of what’s possible, blending technology, expertise, and strategic execution to create seamless experiences. We look forward to providing the same service and care for their next event in May 2025.

As hybrid events continue to shape the future of conferencing, LIDA AV remains dedicated to delivering exceptional AV solutions that empower organisations to connect, inspire, and lead on a global scale.
