*Some hae meat and canna eat, -- And some wad eat that want it; But we hae meat, and we can eat, Sae let the Lord be thankit!*

A truly stunning setting for a #burnsnight supper with all the trimmings at @merchanttaylorshall last week. Always a highlight of the year for us here at First Network.

Thanks to everyone who worked so hard to make the evening a success.

We’ve been quiet on here for a while – but behind the scenes it’s been as busy as ever. We have so much to catch up on! 

This was a 2-week event we delivered in August for one of our large Investment Management clients. The ‘Analyst Orientation Course' brought together young employees from all over the world. Three events ran concurrently in London, Asia and the US and came together via video link for key sessions. 

We ran the London event out of @Convene – a fabulous new dedicated event space at 22 Bishopsgate in the heart of the city. As well as offering 50,000 square ft of flexible event and working space, Convene also boasts state of the art functionality – including TWO internal elevators large enough to lift a fully loaded truck for easy unloading on upper floors.  There are even vehicle turntables in the basement car park. No more 3 point turns - our drivers were very happy!

First Network were at #countyhalllondon this week delivering the #FidelitySummit2021

It was great to be back!

The event was a Live/Virtual hybrid with approximately 100 delegates attending in person and a further 8 virtual breakouts connecting speakers from Hong Kong, Singapore and elsewhere in the UK.

Speakers included @lord_bilimoria - President of @cbitweets and founder of Cobra Beer and Dr Rifai of @creatingfuturus

Thank you @FidelityUKPro it was a pleasure to be working with you again.

We were delighted to be back on site and working on a live event once again last night. Our team was delivering the Morningstar Annual Investment Awards 2021 at the fabulous @barbicancentre Gallery. It really felt like watershed moment with 100 attendees and a palpable sense of excitement from both team and client.  
Now in their 15th year, the annual Fund Manager of the Year Awards recognise and celebrate the best of the UK fund management profession, as selected by Morningstar’s Manager Research analysts. 

We have always been very proud of the strong working relationships we have our longstanding clients. Looking through our archives to write this post, we were struck by the fact that our involvement with Morningstar dates all the way back to 2008.

Audio equipment included #D&B E8, D6 Amps. Shure K4E radio mics, transmitters, DA and paddle kit. #Yamaha Ql1 desk and lectures mics 
Video kit was two #Samsung 75” screens connected to a Barco 902 switcher and a Kramer HDMi 4K. We used source 4 lighting with #Avalolite lighting desk and a logo gobo to add the finishing touch. 
 
Whilst we’re enjoying all the virtual and hybrid events we’ve been working on this year, it’s great to be back with real delegates in a real venue again. Here’s to many more to come as confidence in live events continues to grow.

It’s a wrap!

We’ve just come to the end of a 2-day hybrid event for world-leading, specialist administration services company, Intertrust Group. 

Our clients spent several days working with us in the studio to pre-record sessions. These were then live streamed to an online audience with a live studio presenter element too. 

In addition to the studio services, our clients enjoyed full use of our office facilities, which provided them with plenty of room to work in comfort, plus a green room and catering spaces.    

We use VMix software to stream our virtual events.  If you’d like to find out more about VMix please do call us to arrange a demo. The software is very versatile and has multiple functions. In this case we used it to livestream Panasonic vision mixers, cutting between the three cameras. Absen 2.9 High Resolution LED displays provided a striking backdrop with Barco E2/EX advanced video processing and presentation control systems for picture management. ...

June was a busy month for First Network, with a flurry of Virtual and Hybrid events running out of our West London studios. 
 
This event for investment company, Invesco, saw the culmination of weeks of pre-recording, editing and the video content creation in a 1-day live event.  

Speakers included Invesco CIO Stephanie Butcher and Nobel Prize Winner Esther Duflo.  

Duflo is a French economist who received the prize in 2019 for her research into the best ways to reduce global poverty. 

Throughout the presentations there was a strong focus on Environmental, Social and Governance practices, sustainability and climate. Invesco pride themselves of their application of ESG in all dimensions of business, from the products they offer and their investment processes, to corporate behaviour.  

This was a fantastic event to be involved with and we thoroughly enjoyed working with such a  dynamic and progressive company.
