Trades Union Congress (TUC) - September 2010
Comtec Presentations were once again awarded the opportunity of producing the annual Trades Union Congress. For 12 years in succession, Comtec have delivered the conference with continued commitment to both maintaining excellence and developing improvement.
The key to this successful relationship is the knowledge and understanding that has been developed and built upon year on year. This is fully exploited to ensure that each year the event is improved from the physical look of the conference through to the technology used and the logistics employed to ensure a streamlined event from start to finish.
Working within many of the large venues throughout the UK the challenge is to guarantee that the look and feel of the conference is in keeping with the TUC brand as well as ensuring that all media coverage is catered for. From the press through to TV and radio, the Comtec team have to make certain that everyone is happy as well as the client.
Security is another area of understanding - from dealing with demonstrations within the audience to working alongside special branch for the attendance of the Prime Minister. We were also responsible for the management of the early closure of the conference that occurred during the event in September 2001.
In addition to the above, Comtec also provide all of the usual everyday requirements for a conference of this size and calibre - from media presentations to sound, lights, projection and camera crews.
"Year on year Comtec manage to surpass themselves by combining innovative technologies with functional set design to enable us to progress with our Congress. With our annual Congress being a high profile event it is of great importance that we work with a company that can deliver in high-pressure situations. After working with Comtec for over ten years they have proven themselves, time and time again to be capable of providing a package that is ideal."
