Robe Esprites supplied to InfoSys Confluence event in Melbourne

Event production company Harry The Hirer Productions supplied 20 of its new Robe Esprite LED profile moving lights to this year’s 2-day APAC Confluence event for Indian multinational business consulting and IT specialist InfoSys.

The conference was staged at the Glasshouse, Olympic Park, Melbourne, and coincided with the finals of the 2020 Australian Open (AO) Tennis tournament. It highlighted InfoSys’s role as Digital Innovation Partner to the AO, and its enterprise uniting leading minds in business, technology and education to deliver novel, collaborative responses to some of the “great questions” of our time.

Harry The Hirer Productions supplied all production elements including furniture, signage and décor as well as all the straight technical disciplines - audio, lighting, video, staging and rigging.

The APAC Confluence main plenary session was in the venue’s largest space which has floor-to-ceiling windows along one side, which were blocked with a series of large shades. Lighting was specified by the project management team at Harry The Hirer Productions including operation manager Ian Kirkwood.

Fourteen of the 20 x Esprites were installed on two roof trusses running down the centre of the room, with six behind the 4-metre diameter circular stage, which was in front of a 16-meter curved LED wide-screen at the back. Lighting was programmed and operated for the event by Marcello “Cello” Mandrino who was using Esprites for the first time.

The plenary sessions were live-streamed and recorded on camera, so 3200 K was the goal for key lighting. The presentations all contained multiple graphics, so Mandrino had to balance the static lighting looks for each presenter to match the backdrop slides running throughout their presentation.
