Premier annual financial markets conference in the Middle East region.
Guest of honuour H.E -Sheikh Nahayan Mabarak Al Nahayan.
Global Financial Markets Forum 2014 held on the 4th-5th March had Lawrence H Summers, Former undersecretary for international affairs, Jean-Claude Trichet Economic Consultant and Bob Diamond Former group chief executive of the British Bank, Barclays Plc. as eminent presenters for the Forum, the event provided delegates with the opportunity to attend presentations from prominent corporate and financial entities in the West-East Corridor.
This is certainly one of my most complex show of this season, it proved to be a learning curve every step of the way this was my, on the job introduction to Anycast / Onsite Editing Suite / Converting Converging Digital Content / Live streaming, alongside the usual suspects Pandoras box, you name it we had it. If I could juggle one more element of technology into this event I think my control station was quite capable of broadcasting a sequence of man on the moon.
Conference held at the Emirates Palace Auditorium, was a playground for creativity, a large format screen 15mt x 4mt that spanned the length of the entire stage floated majestically 2mt high from the ground. the wide screen catered to a play area for pandoras box that mesmerized and captivated its audience. Audio was handled beautifully from front of house and Stage front to mick up speakers all on cue.
Being a prestigious event those would were not physically present at the venue and for those around the world would not miss much since the conference was streamed live in real time in the foyer and the live edited presentations were incorporated within its framework with the help of Anycast and HD content was digltalized down to an FLV format that was linked on the website for the world at large to view presentations, watch speakers, the world shrunk to witness a virtual conference right there on their desktop. 
This event was proof that our new Digital Content Division was all geared and up in arms to take on previously incomprehensible events with ease of a seasoned veteran. To see technology grow exponentially in such a short time was both overwhelming & humbling at the same time. With Tom as the technical manager on this event curated a continuous learning platform every step of the way, where explanation was the catalyst for information I am in complete awe of the information gained and of my team who made this happen.
I am honoured to share the stage with the entire team that helped make this happen to name a few, Event technical planing Tom Walter / Content and Editing Anne, Efe / Vision and Pandora team Rainer, Renante n Micheal /Audio Team Joel, Edwin, Prince / Lights Dan, Terrance / Staging Richard, Lal, Silva, Ameen & Team / Camera Ivor & Team / Exhibition & Registration Christopher, Naveed, Iftikhar, Ajit.
