Achema press conference equipped with truss, lighting, sound, stage and media technology
To hold the international press conference on the occasion of Achema 2022, the Panorama room in the Forum of the Festhalle on the Frankfurt exhibition grounds was equipped with elaborate stage, lighting, sound, camera, media and transmission technology and supervised by experienced technicians.
The international PK was translated by interpreters and the livestream was transmitted to the homepage
Achema (proper spelling ACHEMA for Ausstellungsstagungfür chemisches Apparatewesen) is the world’s largest trade fair for the process industry for chemical engineering, process technology and biotechnology with around 170,000 visitors and several thousand international exhibitors. It is organized every three years on the grounds of the Frankfurt Fair by the association DECHEMA and the “Dechema Ausstellungs-GmbH”.
The stage was built with stage platforms. The stage back wall was realized with a reusable beMatrix frame system with textile covering.
The ceiling of the hall was equipped with a truss construction to which numerous spotlights were attached to illuminate the stage and the audience area. In addition, battery-powered spotlights set up on the sides provided a pleasant ambience.
Good understanding among the audience was ensured by the interpreters, who were deployed from an interpreting booth for the translation. The sound was professionally mixed and distributed to the audience through loudspeakers, which were also suspended in the truss.
A 5x5m LED wall made of LEDskin® modules, has shown the visual content from presentations or the two camera trains from the stage.
For those who could not be there in person, the entire event was broadcast via livestream on the Achema homepage.
Thanks to perfect planning and professional equipment for the event, the AVMS technicians were able to ensure smooth and trouble-free operation of the AV and media technology.
