The motto of the 3rd Ecumenical Church Day at the AVMS Studio was “Look” (Mk 6:38). “‘Look’ is an appeal – to all of us,” said the president of the
Ecumenical Church Congress, Bettina Limperg. “Looking is more than seeing. Look, perceives and does not pass. Looking stops and takes responsibility. Taking active responsibility is the mandate of every Christian.”

In this way, she provided the central theme for the programme of the major digital event in Frankfurt am Main. Many spiritual issues of the day were discussed and addressed. Justice, cohesion, sexual abuse, finance and climate change are just various topics covered during the event. Due to the pandemic, however, this did not all take place at one central location, but at around 80 different venues, digitally or in small circles (taking into account the hygiene regulations currently in force). The focus was on questions of faith and trust, social cohesion and growing global responsibility.

The technical realisation of the entire 3rd Ecumenical Church Congress was carried out with the latest technology in the AVMS Studio at the Frankfurt Trade Fair.

Perfect studio lighting, remote-controlled DomeCams, powerful media servers and people-guided HD camera trains ensured the good picture. Thus, a smooth image transmission could be guaranteed. External speakers, such as CDU chancellor candidate Armin Laschet or the mayor of the city of Frankfurt,
Peter Feldmann
, were integrated into the program via additional links. Consequently, they were able to join the discussion via video conferencing solution from their office and from home on an LED wall. Meanwhile, the entire broadcast was supported with sign language interpreters, audio description and live subtitles for people with physical disabilities. Accordingly, the participant could choose between two different streams.

Last but not least, the 3rd Ecumenical Church Day ended with an open-air service at the Wesel shipyard on the banks of the Main in Frankfurt. A little bit of church congress feeling came up after all – albeit with a mask and three empty chairs between them. A total of 400 participants, under the strictest regulations, could be present on site .In addition, the participants were with a 31m² LED trailer allows a better view of the stage. The service was led by the President of the German Bishops’ Conference (DBK), Limburg Bishop Georg Bätzing, the Church President of the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau, Volker Jung, and the President of the Association of Christian Churches in Germany (ACK), Archpriest Radu Constantin Miron.

With the help of the latest technology in the field of video, sound and light, the AVMS team was able to guarantee a smooth flow of the client’s stream.

So everyone could “look”, true to the motto of this year’s Kirchentag.

The relevance of events for the overall communication mix of an organisation will continue to increase in the future. The increasing hybridity of formats is expanding the temporal and spatial reach of events, while at the same time the desire for real places and authentic experiences is growing. These and other exciting results from 18 months of intensive research work were presented by the GCB German Convention Bureau e.V. and the Fraunhofer Institute for Industrial Engineering IAO as part of the “Future Meeting Space” innovation network at an online event on 22 February 2021 in the Messe Frankfurt Studio.

The Future Meeting Space Innovation Network will continue its work in 2021 with a new research topic. Under the title “The Changing Ecosystem of Events”, the research partners are addressing the challenges of the post-Corona era. The focus is on the new spaces of possibility created by the changing ecosystem of events. The aim of the research is to analyse the challenges of change and to develop usage scenarios for real, hybrid and virtual meetings in such a changed ecosystem. The results to date include an “Innovation Catalogue” that summarises new and future technologies, six “Future Meeting Scenarios” and the “Future Meeting Room”. In the further course, a study on the requirements for events that inspire – including an overview of different types of participants, success factors of events and recommendations for action derived from it – was developed.

The hybrid event was realized in the studio at the Frankfurt Fair. Perfect studio lighting, remote-controlled DomeCams and person-guided HD camera trains ensured the good picture. The externally connected participants used the hardware of their own notebooks and PCs for the video calls.
Industry experts and design experts were able to participate directly on site or via a video conferencing solution . from your office and from home on an LED wall into the discussion. High-quality microphone radio links were used to transmit the sound signals of the guests in the studio. The sound was distributed in best quality to the guests all over the world. The moderator, as well as the participants on site, were able to communicate with the guests via in-ear headphones.

An entrance check using Temp-GUARD temperature measurement and a Hand-GUARD hand sanitizer ensured the necessary basic hygiene right at the entrance. In addition, the Next Generation Studio is equipped with several new special Air-GUARD-Tube air filters to combat viruses. Further hygiene measures, as well as sufficient space, ensure a high level of Corona safety precautions.

With the latest technology in video, sound and lighting, the AVMS team was able to guarantee a smooth recording process for the client.
