London-based live communications and production agency DesignScene production-designed and managed the first full scale large live event to be staged at the new flagship St Pancras Renaissance Hotel, a charity fundraiser organised by the Anderson Foundation in aid of The National Autistic Society.
It is the second year that DesignScene has produced the event for the Anderson Foundation. The project was managed for them by Ben Turner, and designed by DesignScene's creative director, Attila Keskin. "It was very exciting to be working in London's newest high profile hotel,” said Turner. “As nothing this large had been done before, we had a real chance to set a standard."
The St Pancras Renaissance Hotel is being hailed as one of London's most romantic buildings after many years of restoration to its original 1873 Gothic Revival splendor.
The high profile Anderson Foundation event for about 250 people was staged in the hotel's main space off the main reception areas. DesignScene's brief included the specification and supply of lighting, sound and AV equipment plus all other technical infrastructure requirements and the challenges included limited power availability and no flying facilities, so all technical elements had to be ground-supported.
