A symphony of tech innovation at GCCEC

The Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre is dedicated to delivering the perfect audiovisual experience for guests, says the venue’s executive manager of technology, Chris Davey.

The Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC) has made a significant investment in its audiovisual and technological infrastructure. The investment is aimed at expanding the venue’s inventory of top-tier equipment and elevating the overall experience for event planners, delegates and speakers.

Among the upgrades is a state-of-the-art PA system, multiple high-resolution LED panels, advanced projectors, audio consoles, moving light fixtures, wireless show communication systems and enhanced entertainment rigging.

“The investment in the L’Acoustics PA and VuePix AR Series LED screen puts GCCEC at the forefront of the market and shows our commitment to innovation and providing our clients and guests with best-in-class equipment,” says Chris Davey, executive manager of technology at GCCEC.

Davey says recognising the diversity of events hosted in any of its flexible venue spaces – from intimate dinners to large-scale concerts – GCCEC “recognises the need for a world-class audio system to deliver on the expectations of our clients and productions”.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of events and technology, Davey reiterates the pivotal role of continued upgrades.

“We recognise the role continued investment in technology solutions plays in delivering successful and memorable events,” he says.

The introduction of 2.9mm high-resolution, customisable LED screens – up to 30 metres wide – opens new possibilities for interactive backdrops, creating immersive experiences for guests. This not only enhances the delegate experience, but allows for incredible event recordings.

GCCEC’s commitment to excellence is further demonstrated by its team of in-house specialists, who work closely with clients to ensure seamless event execution. Offering flexibility, extensive experience and a range of world-class solutions, GCCEC solidifies its reputation as an industry leader in the meetings and events space.
