Hilton's Americas Leadership Conference 2019
In the spring of 2019, 2000 Hilton leaders gathered at the Hilton Orlando for the Hilton Americas Leadership Conference.
The producer, agencyEA, has a history producing other Hilton events, and are known for bringing together the brand’s cohesive vision together with immaculately executed details. OSA was contacted to provide the audio, video and LED aspects for the conference.
The venue had strict weight restrictions which provided all event technology departments a challenge. OSA Senior Audio Engineer Peter Wiejaczka designed the sound system around the Martin Audio Wavefront Precision series line array due to their excellent power to weight ratio, while the video team chose the reliable and lightweight Absen A3Pro tiles for the LED components.
An additional challenge was a shortened changeover time between the closing general session and concert.
The main speaker arrays that were deployed for the general sesion required a reconfiguration so that they would be capable of reproducing high-quality rock band entertainment audio. These arrays were deployed during a short changeover and would have otherwise blocked scenic and LED elements during the business sessions.
At the highest point, the audio team consisted of seven engineers all working to provide the best audio possible to accommodate the small window into the entertainment. Together they provided FOH & monitor mix services, intercom/RF technicians to place microphones on presenters and operate the intercom system, RF coordination services to manage over 150 frequencies across the venue property, and entertainment technical support.
The video team had unique challenges as well, including configuring the rigging for the faceted LED element and projection mapping onto moving prop elements during the CEO reveal.
