Logistics & Liability

How do you measure Event ROI?

We turn offline interactions into online data. We use **QR Codes, NFC Badges, and Geofencing** to track attendee dwell time and booth visits. Every handshake is tracked in your CRM. We treat a physical event as a high-fidelity lead generation funnel.

Hybrid Events (Live Streaming)?

Yes. We don't just point a webcam at the stage. We produce **Broadcast Quality** streams with multi-camera setups, live switching, and dedicated audio engineering. This allows you to monetize virtual tickets and reach a global audience while keeping the local intimacy.

Health & Safety / Risk?

We carry £10M Public Liability Insurance and handle all RAMS (Risk Assessment Method Statements). From crowd control to electrical safety certification, we take the legal liability off your shoulders so you can focus on your guests.
