Our mandate
Master D handled the complete technical management of the event. Their work involved the meticulous coordination of technical control rooms, audiovisual support, and video capture for a simultaneous webcast across three conference rooms. The team managed multiple wireless microphones and synchronized projections, ensuring optimal sound quality for both in-person attendees and the virtual audience in a hybrid format. In addition to providing continuous technical support to speakers throughout the day, the team completed the setup before the delegates arrived early in the morning and ensured seamless logistical transitions.
