Empowering Queenstown - One Conference at a Time
One of the most rewarding parts of being part of Queenstown’s vibrant business community is contributing to the local events that make this town so special. While it’s always exciting to welcome national and international clients, there’s something uniquely meaningful about working with locals to celebrate not just Queenstown itself, but the people who power it.
This conference, in particular, focuses on empowering the women of Queenstown. Each year, the Queenstown Chamber of Commerce gives us the freedom to fully embrace a theme, and we run with it. The creative direction was built around the concept of powerful femininity, a theme that inspired us to craft an environment where guests could feel strong, seen, and celebrated. From lighting choices to colour palettes, every detail was designed to reflect confidence, elegance, and energy in equal measure.
Departing from last year’s LED screens, we leaned into an '80s retro aesthetic using our PATT 2017 fixtures in soft neutral tones to play off the bold pinks and purples in the design.
We set up a dual-stage format to support both conversational interviews and powerful keynote moments, all within Rydges' expansive, extra-wide room. This setup brings every attendee close to the action, with clear sight lines and immersive production design.
To accommodate the long room layout, we installed four projectors to ensure every guest has a perfect view of the presentations. Our discreet sound system is seamlessly integrated into the drapes and staging, delivering crisp audio without distracting from the visuals.
With sold-out events year after year, it’s clear this conference resonates. When you pair inspiring speakers with thoughtful production and a strong message, it’s easy to see why.
