Manchester based Sterling Event Group have launched their new Sterling Studio website to showcase their range of solutions for the organisers of virtual events.

In the temporary absence of live events, Manchester based audio-visual production company Sterling Event Group have continued to invest in virtual technologies and have launched a new website dedicated to its virtual event services.

Launching originally in March 2020, Sterling Studio has now been expanded to include a multitude of studio spaces and virtual event services. Proving a popular choice for the organisers of virtual events, the 5 physical studio spaces, along with 3 purpose-built fully remote Virtual Control Centres (whereby events can be managed 100% remotely) are currently in high-demand.

“We’re excited for the year ahead and whilst we hope to see the start of the return of live events in the near future, there will still be a place for virtual events. We are frequently assisting our clients with global communications, in recent months we have live streamed to audiences in 78 countries. For certain types of events there is a huge advantage in virtual, from an efficiency and environmental perspective, that’s why we believe virtual events are here to stay and will feature in the programme of events for many organisations. Furthermore, adding a virtual aspect to a live event could be used to significantly extend the reach.” Richard Bowden, Founder and MD of Sterling Event Group.

Sterling Studios have also expanded from their Manchester Airport HQ and are now operating Hybrid Studios at a number of popular venues within the Greater Manchester area, each with a unique offering.

Further info on the Studios and other services to enhance virtual events, can be found on our new dedicated site – www.sterlingstudio.co.uk.

Sterling provided technical support once again to the amazing charity Forever Manchester. An amazing night was had by all at Forever Manchester’s 30th Birthday Party, with £78,689 being raised for Forever Manchester to fund and support community activity across Greater Manchester.

Over 400 delegates came together at the Principal Manchester to celebrate 30 years of Forever Manchester helping local people doing extraordinary things in their local communities.

Hosted by Tony Walsh and Captain Manchester, the Birthday Party, featured first class entertainment and Clint Boon finished the night with a DJ set which got everyone up and dancing until the early hours.

Avolites will be visiting Sterling Event Group in October, as they hit the road again with their Level 1 & Level 2 of the Titan Academy Course.

These training courses will be run in our new warehouse space, and are open to everyone.

The Level 1 training works through everything you would need to know to build a show file from scratch on the Titan range of consoles. From patching fixtures into the console through recording playbacks, palettes and some of the effects engines that are built into Titan. Level 1 also covers cues lists, which is used for everything from corporate to circus, and theatre to gigs.

Level 2 covers more advanced programming options and set up available already within Titan. As well as networking, Avolites will cover some ways to speed and aid your programming. Level 2 also covers external triggering and working with timecode.

Those attending both levels of the course can then take an optional assessment. Based on the result of this you can be certified or accredited as a programmer on the Avolites website.
