Helping Everywoman organise the UK’s largest tech forum for women
The Client
Everywoman is a UK-based organisation dedicated to advancing women’s business careers. It focuses on enhancing the potential of female talent through learning resources, events and conferences, as well as helping organisations bridge the gender pay gap. Everywoman also runs a portfolio of high-profile award programmes that celebrate the achievements of women across a variety of sectors and industries.
The Challenge
Every year, Everywoman organises its Tech Forum, the largest tech conference for women in the UK. This one-day event brings together men and women thinking futurists, many of the brightest business leaders in tech and some of the finest motivators and professionals in female development.
With over 600 attendees, our role at UKSV was to create an engaging event for a large group of people, setting the stage for the main forum, as well as to facilitate the evening award ceremony
The Awards
Over 550 business and technology leaders gathered at the London Hilton on Park Lane on the evening of 9 February, where the winners of the 2017 FDM everywoman in Technology Awards were unveiled. Supported by techUK, this is one of the UK’s best-loved Awards programmes, celebrating achievements and championing the advancement of women in technology and STEM careers.
The Results
UKSV helped Everywoman set up the event at the London Hilton, a luxury 5-star hotel located in Park Lane. The venue provided a main conference room and three further smaller rooms for breakouts, together with a delegate registration area.
With a backdrop of two large projection screens against a black cloth background, the morning presentation featured speakers delivering focused presentations on specific topics, using a mixture of talks, interviews and videos to keep the audience engaged.
The main conference room was split into three smaller rooms for the afternoon, for the delivery of six separate breakout sessions. During the lunch break, the audience moved to the networking area, where a large Twitter wall was installed.
The main room was then transformed in only one and a half hours, ready for a glitzy awards dinner. To create the perfect atmosphere for the dinner and awards ceremony, the event space was enhanced with a luminous starcloth backdrop and expertly adjusted lighting, casting a warm and celebratory glow.
UKSV also supplied content management and audio services, a full stage set including design and build, and full audio-video support.
