We are #HereForCulture

We were thrilled to hear we have received funding thanks to the government’s #CultureRecoveryFund so that we can continue to be here for you and #HereForCulture right now in the virtual world and very soon at in-person events too.

Culture creates jobs, supports livelihoods, and brings joy to everyone. The UK leads the world in the creative industries and we can all feel pride in that.

Now, in these challenging times, it’s our turn to show our support for culture. With an unprecedented investment through the Culture Recovery Fund, the government is #HereForCulture so it can weather the storm of coronavirus and come back stronger.

And we are #HereForCulture too.

#HereForCulture is a movement that unites the public, government and cultural organisations in support of our fantastic cinemas, theatres, music venues, museums, galleries and heritage.

With more and more culture being curated online, there is no better time to support and enjoy all the new and exciting ways culture is available to us.

By being #HereForCulture, we aren’t just supporting the people in the industry, we’re also supporting communities across the country.

Sterling expands new virtual studio spaces and offering

Sterling Event Group have expanded their virtual event space – Sterling Studio. Launched in March, the original Sterling Studio has proved popular with agencies and clients alike and due to client requirements their offering has now been expanded to include a number of new spaces and packages, which incorporate everything you would need from a venue for your event and a trustworthy AV setup.

  • STUDIO A

Purpose built studio facility, based around an impressive 11.5m wide curved high resolution LED screen as a digital backdrop, offering the ability to create bespoke settings for every event.

  • STUDIO B

A smaller yet highly flexible studio with a central LED screen digital backdrop, twin side screens and colour changeable set lighting, this facility offers a professional setting for a wide range of presentations.

  • STUDIO +

This solution is the hire of Studios A&B together. It allows for breakout space cuts or for different segments of an event such as a keynote address then a fireside chat.

  • STUDIO LITE

A smaller alternative, suited for a single person delivering content to camera. With a 2.5m x 2.5m digital LED backdrop for bespoke content, along with one 55inch screen set to the side. Basic AV setup included.

Not all events may require or be able to have presenters live from the Studio spaces, for example presenters based overseas or in locations with restrictions or limitations. This solution offers a more slick produced event than a simple zoom call. With the ability to overlay webcam feeds, and manipulate layouts, your virtual event can benefit from a professional look. Presenter kits can be sent out to increase quality where required.

 

The Studio spaces also house two purpose built dressing room spaces along with a waiting area with seating and refreshments, available for speakers and organisers to hire separately ahead of their studio time. Beyond the Studios, Sterling can also support with a variety of additional services such as live stream hosting, custom event website builds, registration platforms and audience engagement tools.
