It is no secret that when it comes to premium audio visual and technical services, we are the supplier of choice for a vast number of corporate events and conferences both locally and interstate.

We were recently in Melbourne to team up with Kojo Events who’s creative team in concert with the Novatech team designed a spectacular b-spoke event for their client, Kmart. The venue chosen for the 1000 guests was the Peninsula Room in the iconic Docklands precinct. Novatech provided design,technical production and labour services for this highly demanding event with one of the key elements being a 16ft x 6ft, 360° ring screen complete with four Barco RLM-W8 projectors used for the conference session. Immediately following the conference, a rock themed stage with one of the largest analogue light shows seen in years and a cocktail bar was revealed to the guests through a custom built curtain reveal system.

As you can imagine, a great night was had by all.

The Port Adelaide Football Club is the most successful Club in Australia, boasting an amazing 37 Premierships. Since establishment in 1870, Port has dominated South Australian football and judging by the success of their ‘Back in Black’ campaign, they have every intention of returning to the top.

As the official Audio Visual provider for Port Adelaide, Novatech worked closely with the Power’s Event Manager Tara MacLeod and her team in designing and delivering two events. One was held at the Allan Scott Power Headquarters and the other at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.  In addition to the technically demanding Audio Visual requirements, these events provided Novatech the opportunity to utilise our new crystal drapes.

Ice Cocktail Party

When Novatech Creative Event Technology was approached by Deb Budich from dbusiness and Julian Burton to assist with the 2011 Julian Burton Burns Trust Ice Cocktail Party, the brief was simple…  We needed to deliver the ‘cocktail party of the year’. The event took on a whole new meaning once we’d heard the story of a single parent family, struggling with the medical needs of 12 year old burn victim, Dylan. 

Novatech provided extensive production elements, not only to transform the new Adelaide Oval members function room into an ‘ice wonderland’, but also built a spectacular reveal for the 7 seater car that was given to the family.  This gift was realised from money raised by the Julian Burton Burns Trust through the generous sponsorship of corporate business in South Australia.
