Social Democratic Party Congress
Mediatec was chosen as total solutions supplier of technology and functionality to the Social Democratic Party’s congress at the Stockholm Exhibition Hall between the 28th October and 1st November 2009.
This diverse and challenging project involved 65 Mediatec personnel working in shifts over five long congress days. Part of our task involved the projection of digital background décor behind the congress stage (21 meters in width), a congress administration system for the management of speaker motions, speaker order and voting, camera production for live pictures in the Viktoriahallen as well as distribution to an internal TV system and various TV companies, amongst those SVT24, who were covering the event live. Lighting with colour and pattern variation on the stage boundaries, dependent on the subject being discussed was also created. These colours were a common theme, replicated in the printed material available at the event. Mediatec was also responsible for IT solutions in rooms designated for practical functions.
In the connecting exhibition, a space for smaller debates, presentations and entertainment from two stages was created. On Saturday evening, the traditional congress party took place, including entertainment from some of Sweden’s leading musicians. For this, Mediatec was fully responsible for lighting, sound and camera work.
