Event Production for General Sessions and Live Events
A general session is the one moment when everyone is in the same room hearing the same message. Cadence produces it end to end, from the message and script to the stage, screens, and show calling, for audiences of 500 to 5,000.
Production
Message & Show Flow
We start with what the audience should leave believing, then build the agenda, story arc, and speaker roles around it, so the session works as one story instead of a string of presentations.
Scriptwriting & Speaker Support
Scripts, presentation development, and rehearsals, so speakers stay on message and on time.
Video & Graphics
Openers, presentation design, motion graphics, and video content built for the room and the screens.
Show Production & Show Calling
Production management from planning through rehearsal, with an experienced team calling the show live.
Staging & AV
Set Design & Staging
Custom sets and stages designed and built in our own shop, so the room carries the theme.
Lighting, LED & Projection
Lighting design, LED walls, and projection sized to the room and the audience.
Audio & Cameras
Sound, cameras, and video for the live audience and for capture.
AV Systems Integration
Permanent AV installations for meeting rooms, conference spaces, and branded environments.
Why Cadence
Many production companies run the gear. Fewer help shape what's said on stage. Our team works on the message and the production together, and because we build our own sets and staging, the creative idea doesn't get watered down between the designer and the shop.
