5 Points you should consider to create impactful stage design

Event Stage Design for speakers and presenters may seem like a simple matter compared to creating an elaborate performance platform. But the success of a presentation—and of the people delivering their messages—depends on minute details like size, lighting, and accessibility, as well as the right selection of microphones and lecterns.

We list down 5 ways you can make sure you get your event stage design or live event staging in right way and create a maximum impact on driving home the objective out of doing the event.

1)      Choose the Correct height

Consider guests line of sight and comfort when choosing the right elevation for your stage. For any presentation, 1.5 ft off the ground is considered ideal for seated audiences of up to 200.What you need to consider while doing so, however, is the total clear height you have available at the venue. The height for the event stage design would need to increase depending on the size of the audience and can go up to 5 feet.

 2)      Use Appropriate Lighting

Lighting should be properly situated for all of the individuals who will be standing on the stage at various heights. Though it may seem surprising, stage lighting is often the most forgotten element and is also the most important not only during the event but also for the photos and videography done. What we recommend is to black out the entire room and control the lighting from the console to have effective brightness as required. Never use only one profile light for the speaker, there are many speakers who like to move around and a minimum of 2 lights are required besides the general house lighting.

 3)      Make Sure Audio is Loud and clear for Audience

In addition to lighting, quality sound also contributes to the effective communication of target messages and to an overall positive audience experience. The most important thing is ensuring there is no feedback and there is an effective sound distribution across the venue. If you were to imagine your conference venue to be a square, it is essential to place at least one speaker in each corner of the venue. Depending on the size of the audience, ensure all areas are covered by placing speakers at regular intervals. For a 200 capacity event, 4 speakers are required and you can increase the number of speakers by 2 for every 200 pax extra.

 4)      Keep it Simple

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication!” – Leonardo Da Vinci

Elaborate stage decor or sets may pose a distraction for speakers, as well as audience members—those watching live or those watching virtually or at a later time. We recommend a clean and crisp end to end set-up which is elegant in it and adds the grandeur required.

 5)      Remember Size Matters

You always should have your agenda and speakers decided well before you plan for the stage and design. Absolutely everything at your event needs to work like clockwork, in complete balance and needs to complement each other, only then can you create an extremely impactful event.
