ISENC 2021

After delivering a successful virtual solution and transition of the annual International Sports + Exercise Nutrition Conference in 2020 we supported the team in 2021 with another 3 day virtual conference. Featuring speakers from across the globe, poster presentations and a virtual exhibition.

We were involved in the setup, technical support and training on the online platform before and during the event. Alongside this we were involved with speaker and exhibitor management as well as assisting with delegate communications.

“Overall the conference and technology used to run the conference has been brilliant.”

We worked alongside the Planet Mark team in a new location for the fourth edition of the Planet Mark Awards. Services provided included guest booking and management, sponsorship relationship management, budget management and cost control. Together with management of the judging process, script writing and production. The event delivered was an entertaining social evening with networking opportunities and a chance for companies to recognise their sustainable commitments and join the momentum of The Planet Mark.

“I just wanted to say an absolutely huge big massive thank you for ….well, everything. The Tour and the Awards have all be exceptional and it’s really down to your amazing professionalism.”

ATOMICON 21

ATOMICON is a conference focused on marketing, sales tactics and growth strategies for small business owners. After an online edition in 2020, the event came back with a bang featuring Dragon’s Den Star Deborah Meaden, Facebook guru Ann Handley, keynote extraordinaire Drew Davis, and TikTok star Kyne alongside a variety of other parallel sessions. The Sage Gateshead provided a perfect backdrop for the learning, alongside the entertainment on offer for attendees including Cyclone Machine, Selfie Spots, Gif Generator, sweeties, and a comfortable chill out zone. The fun started on the afternoon prior with member meet-ups, a Speaker party at ABOVE, and Pre-Party Jazzy Shirt Party at Livello. The event culminated in an after party at the hotspot Revolución de Cuba. Online guests were treated to live streams of the content alongside exclusive competitions and virtual parties. BeaconHouse Events managed venues, speakers, suppliers, AV, exhibitors, branding, registration and onsite delivery.

Thank you so much for today and what feels like the past eternity. Couldn’t thank you enough! Can’t wait to do it all again with you 🙂

Andrew Pickering, ATOMIC

Bring It On 2021: Net Zero North East

Following the success of Bring It On’s virtual programme in 2020, we were contracted to help support Bring It On North East’s 2021 hybrid event. Bring It On encourages students across the North East to pursue a career in Engineering. The event format was hybrid, filmed at a North East college location and live streamed to schools via YouTube on Thursday 4th November. BeaconHouse Events successfully planned and delivered the communications and logistics for the hybrid event. Part of the event delivery was to set up school class visits to various engineering company sites and match up numerous volunteer engineering professionals for a visit into a North East school on the event day. We reached 2,000 students virtually, with many of them engaging with an engineering professional via a site or in-school visit.

Thank you so much for everything, you have been so easy to work with and the quality of what you do has really impressed us all, here is to BIO 2022.
Carol Harrison, Bring It On

BeaconHouse crew were simply awesome, spotting and mitigating every single detail and then reacting when the completely unexpected popped up. You have kept me sane the last few days when things were becoming incomprehensible!

#CYBERFEST 2021

A series of online and hybrid events focusing on the challenges and opportunities of the cyber security sector. The month long tech festival featured Hybrid and fully online events to accommodate attendees across the month. BeaconHouse Events delivered this event on behalf of Dynamo North East. Services provided include event marketing, delegate management, sponsorship generation and relationship management, budget management and cost control together with event branding and onsite management.

Opencast Virtual ‘Fest’

We worked with Opencast to curate online themed gift boxes including festival swag, food and refreshments for 100+ of the team, delivered on the day of the online conference and festival.

The online festival featured live host, and a quiz and later some themed ‘tent’ breakout rooms. Members of the team were involved in filming in advance, so entertaining clips could be premiered at the event. The breakout rooms featured a live band, a comedian and rave room! The quiz was enhanced by using the live band to partake in the music round.

“the boxes are quality by the way – the kids are circling around some of the gifts like vultures….”

Northumbria University Small Business Leadership Online Event

We organised a virtual conference for Northumbria University Small Business Leadership programme participants. With COVID making it impossible for course participants to meet physically we helped our client design and deliver an interactive, engaging and professional virtual conference on zoom.

Our role involved speaker briefings, registration and delegate joining instructions, agenda format, technical running orders, rehearsals, technical production online and attendee support throughout the virtual event.

Just wanted to say thank you for all of your support four our conference yesterday and for helping it to run so smoothly. I’m sure that it would not have been successful without that support. In particular your help for me as host was invaluable … it’s not something I’ve done before or am particularly comfortable with (teaching seems different somehow!), so it was great to know that you had the technical side all sorted! Lots of lessons for our team to learn should we do this again and if we do, I’ve no doubt we’ll be in touch!
John Wales

Thank you so much for helping us to deliver today. Couldn’t have done it without you!

Our role involved planning the technical requirements and set up for smooth integration of both physical and virtual speakers and attendees. We also researched and confirmed the venue for the sessions and confirmed all requirements for each day, being mindful of social distancing and ensuring a COVID safe environment. We managed the virtual attendance registration process and facilitated the successful delivery of the sessions on the day managing both the physical and virtual event experience.
