Open Thread - conference stages - nice ideas

[HelmutsHelmuts is verified member.]

Let me create a thread where we all can share nice stage setups you have seen when attending one or another event/conference.

Let me start with a stage that has really impressed me today in Brussels:

wider shot (includes the ceiling setup):

the stage has 2 cameras that are ready to film a random person from attendees (not speakers) when he/her is asking a question to the speaker (this person will appear on the big screen):

here is a person (Jiallin Liao) talking from the auditorium and showing up on the stage - this helps attendees seeing him. Very nice:

and, to put the feed on the screen, they have a couple of Panasonic projectors:

super cool and clean setup, and it seems the stage can be adjusted super well to different events by changing logo elements (simple and great idea):

here is a budget-feel startup stage in Riga, Latvia. I don't agree with the choice of the stage floor - way too cheap look, though, the idea is very simple to be replicated

super clean setup (the setup takes AV team presence very seriously) with 3 huge TV screen. Venue: St. Gallen University:

Neat hotel stage setup with LED wall-setup in Dubai (Marriott, at Palm Jumeirah):

.. I am a huge LED wall stage fan - love how efficient these are.. despite all the added costs, electricity requirements (most often also comes with additional costs) and setup (ratio issues) difficulties. Once complete - the effect is "money"!!

A 100' TV, 2 speakers, raised up stage (with a cool extension), curved back wall + a media wall besides the stage.. neat and budget-friedly setup seen in Tallinn, Estonia:

a cool hotel stage setup (Marriott in Riga, Latvia). A little cramped - though, well used space! Love this design.

stage at Meta, London HQ.. huhh.. I wish I made more photos there - my photos don't make justice to the setup > it felt super super efficient..

a stage in an expo (London Excel) where the organizers are saving money on LED walls and difficult screen setups that always result in larger expenses for event organisers.

.. have to say, that I was there and it actually looked good .. well, ok

.. very nice setup at the Global Entrepreneurship Summit 2016 at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA on Friday June 24, 2016. .. no need for expensive LED walls - clean and nice.. well, 10 years ago..
