This year, we’re very happy to say, Icon celebrates its 13th year in the Audio Visual business. Now we’ve hit the teens, we thought it was high time we smartened ourselves up with a brand new identity and website. We’ve gone for a cool neon look, as designed by our good friend Jan Richter.

We’ve also been thinking about how we can help to make our customer’s lives easier.

We know you’re increasingly bombarded with requests to include the latest new event technologies in your up-and-coming events. But often it’s confusing as to what’s the best option to go with.

Also, it takes a lot of effort to keep up with who is best to use or avoid when it comes to buying-in third party event services.

In response, we will shortly be launching a new ‘Event Professionals Only’ LinkedIn group for customers and friends of Icon who manage events in the financial and corporate sectors.

This moderated members-only group will provide you with a safe space to network, share resources and event management expertise with professionals like yourself. Icon will also contribute with regular blog articles on the latest event technologies, providing an impartial, summarised view of the features, benefits and issues you need to be aware of.

Future topics we will cover will include:

• Web casting
• Video Conferencing
• Hand-held voting systems
• Making your events greener and paper-less
• How to integrate social media with your live presentations

New Event Technology Seminars

From December this year, we’ll also be hosting a new series of seminars that provide an opportunity for you to meet up with your peers and experience live demonstrations of the latest event technologies.
