A remarkable event is filled with unforgettable moments, but what truly counts is how you connect your brand or event with attendees, ensuring they depart with a lasting positive impression.
What does immersion truly mean?
No doubt you’ve encountered immersion before – from clever lighting and surround sound to signature cocktails. However, true immersion integrates guests into the event itself, blending all elements into a rich, layered experience.
This process can be technically intricate and strategically complex. That’s why best practices involve engaging event professionals like Encore to develop creative approaches that engage the audience’s senses (touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight).
Julz Partington, Creative Director at Encore, highlights their department’s approach:
"The process begins with event design and creative strategy. Every detail matters: from food and entertainment to themes, graphics, screen content, lighting, sound, and more. It's about harmonizing these elements to create a unified experience."
Always evolving
Making an impact through the senses isn’t new, but the tools at our disposal continue to evolve rapidly. Encore leads in cutting-edge technology, constantly exploring innovative ways to enhance attendee engagement. While theatrical lighting, PA systems, projections, live video, computers, surround sound, and LED screens may seem standard, the difference lies in our ability to innovate and maximize their potential creatively.
Engaging experiences
Recently, Encore crafted an interactive experience where attendees were engaged from the moment they arrived. Using a touch platform, guests designed digital fish upon entry, which then swam into virtual LED fish tanks within the venue, and finally onto an immersive video wall, mingling with fish designed by other attendees.
Jack Poulos, Encore’s Technical Event Director specializing in video, emphasizes the interactive nature:
“It’s about inviting attendees to connect and engaging all senses in harmony with visuals. For us in video, this means close collaboration with all event professionals, extensive on-site testing, and continuous communication.”
Elevate sound to new dimensions.
Strategic use of audio can transform your event from 2D to 3D instantly. From the swish of tennis balls overhead to ocean sounds so authentic you’d believe you were on Bondi Beach, our immersive technology envelops listeners in a 270-360 degree experience.
“I find immersive audio particularly rewarding at events because it feels natural,” explains Daniel Carver-Shadbolt, Technical Event Director specializing in audio.
“Traditional PA systems with speakers on either side of the stage produce flat stereo sound, which doesn’t mimic real-world audio. Immersive audio offers spatial control and adds another layer of creativity.”
