There's a New Hybrid Event Studio at ExCeL London

ExCeL London has just launched a versatile and visually engaging studio suited to the digital times we live in. Based on a partnership with the leading audiovisual supplier, Anna Valley, this is a solution that aims to establish a unique environment for organizers to hold hybrid events in dynamism with both formats.

The studio’s flexible set features an impressive, adaptable digital backdrop and stage floor, multi-camera and full sound system and lighting rig, as well as space for up to 30 delegates socially distanced in line with the UK Government guidelines. Remote presenters with broadcast quality feeds can be included in studio activity and content can be streamed to platforms such as Zoom, YouTube and Facebook.

The studio is located in a central, self-contained area, above the venue’s main event halls – making it an excellent addition to a larger, live conference or hybrid event at ExCeL. Separate, but within close proximity are office spaces, green rooms, and production areas, as well as space to increase the studio footprint.  

Jeremy Rees, CEO at ExCeL London said: "During this challenging time, we remain committed to providing our customers and guests with the best possible experience. This new state-of-the-art hybrid event studio supports us and them in our shared ambition of delivering world leading events. While nothing beats meeting face-to-face or being amid the buzz of an auditorium, this studio will enable organisers to deliver exceptional audience experiences whether the event is attended in person or remotely. And once larger, face-to-face conferences, exhibitions and events can return, this studio will act as a great addition for organisers seeking to reach a much larger audience."

Peter Jones, Managing Director of Anna Valley, also said that "we are delighted to be working with ExCeL London to offer a superb virtual events studio within the venue. With our heritage in broadcast and reputation for providing live event and entertainment technology, we’re ideally suited to helping event professionals reinvent their physical shows as digital experiences and we’re really looking forward to working with ExCeL’s clients in this respect."
