The Portuguese event provider Europalco partners with Knower Impact Meetings to deliver an AI conference, showcasing cutting-edge audiovisual technology and innovative scenography.
LISBON – Europalco, in partnership with Knower Impact Meetings, announces the success of AIVØLUT1ØN, the first conference in Lisbon entirely dedicated to Artificial Intelligence (AI). Held in the Sala Tejo of the MEO Arena, this landmark event brought together business leaders, innovators and AI enthusiasts to explore the transformative power of AI in business management and beyond.
The AIVØLUT1ØN event marked an important milestone in the AI landscape, attracting many attendees. Europalco played a big part in this success by providing full AV and staging services. Europalco’s team of approximately 28 members worked on-site and after two months of extensive preparation, they flawlessly executed all technical details.
An impressive 25-metre curved main screen and a 4-metre raised circular screen in the middle served as the event’s centrepiece. This configuration was reinforced by 24 metres of projection on the sides of the black curtain, providing an immersive visual experience. The round screen primarily displayed images and photos of the speakers, while dynamic live projections added a layer of visual excitement.
Europalco deployed world-class audiovisual technology, including an L-Acoustics Kiva sound system, a sophisticated lighting system with 14 mega point lights, 12 LED floodlights, 64 wash lights, and 8 BMFLs, all controlled by a full-size console. Three cameras operated by a control system captured the event, while two Christie Boxer 30000 lumens projectors coupled with four 16000 lumens projectors provided stunning visuals. A Christie Spyder X80 processor and PVP server handled the video processing and show control.
The entire event revolved around the theme of AI, with a particular focus on its impact on business management. Reflecting this theme, AI generated the image of the event and various visual elements, offering a glimpse of the creative potential of this technology. Video projection played a crucial role in creating an engaging and futuristic atmosphere.
Organising an event of this scale and complexity was not without its challenges. Coordinating the extensive audiovisual set-up, ensuring the seamless integration of various technologies and maintaining a high level of quality required careful planning and teamwork. The experienced Europalco team met these challenges with innovative solutions and unwavering dedication.
The event featured renowned speakers and pioneers in the technological analysis of the future. Their insights provided valuable perspectives on the transformative power of AI in business and society. The Beatbombers, a Portuguese Dj crew formed by Dj Ride and Stereossauro, added a dynamic touch to the event with an electrifying entertainment segment that resonated with the audience.
Feedback from attendees and partners was overwhelmingly positive. Participants praised the event’s organisation, the quality of the audiovisual experience and the content presented by the speakers.
Pedro Magalhães, CEO of Europalco, said: “I am proud of the collaborative effort and technological expertise that made AIVØLUT1ØN a resounding success. By combining cutting-edge technology, creative design and flawless execution, Europalco and Knower have set a new benchmark for AI conferences. AIVØLUT1ØN not only showcased the potential of AI but also fostered meaningful discussions and networking opportunities for business leaders and innovators.”
