Behind the scenes: building the stage
Forty crew, two nights and six tonnes of lighting and sound. Here is how the main hall goes from empty shell to keynote stage.
Eighty speakers on stage and three thousand peers in the hallway, with a networking app that books your meetings before you arrive.
Watch the main stage live in HD, ask speakers questions and replay talks afterwards.
A speaker team handles travel, rehearsal slots and slide checks, from invitation to stage.
Hire a meeting room or side-event space at the venue for your team or clients.
