The Women’s Equality Party and their communications team contacted Sterling for technical and production expertise for the party’s inaugural conference hosted at the unique Victoria Warehouse in Manchester

The event saw over 1500 delegates and 200 volunteer staff from around the country come together for three days of policy formation, comedy, art and music.  The programme saw a moving address from the Party Leader, Sophie Walker, as well as discussions lead by Party founder, Sandi Toksvig and comedy from Sarah Pascoe.

Sterling were tasked with using their in depth knowledge of the venue and its capabilities teamed with their inventory of state-of-the-art equipment to transform the blank canvas warehouse space into a location suitable for a high level conference and exhibition of this kind. This was achieved through using draping to fashion breakout spaces from the large blank canvas warehouse, using festoon lighting to enhance the look and feel of the venue as well as providing ambient lighting for the event and using Full HD 14k DLP flown front projection and a large 21ftx12ft screen and stage set to give high quality, crisp projection and a professional look.

 

The team at Sterling were truly excellent and I would not hesitate to use you again in a heartbeat
