China House - London Olympics, July/August 2012

China House was the central base for the Chinese Olympic Committee during the London 2012 Olympic Games.

Comtec Presentations were responsible for all lighting, sound and media display for all events held at China House which included high profile visits from world renowned musicians; pianist Lang Lang and singer Doudou, ex NBA basketball player Yao Ming and visits from the International, American and Bulgarian Olympic Committees amongst others. All the Chinese gold medal winners at the games also visited for press conferences and presentations.

The opening of China House featured our breath taking Kabuki drop system revealing a special commemorative piece of artwork which became one of the center pieces of the venue.

Throughout the Olympic period, we had 7 plasma screens on 3 different switching platforms and 6 different input options available from internet feeds to TV, video playback and presentations.

Our versatility and adaptability was certainly put to the test, delivering a slick and professional event and most of all, making sure our client knew they were in safe hands.

Eventstagram receives funding & joins the Wayra family

Live photo feed company Eventstagram is one of 17 start-ups to have been selected by telecoms giant Wayra for its annual business academy.

Eventstagram was co-founded by Dan Strang and Ollie Harridge in September 2012.

The business concept is a live feed of customisable Instagram photos that can be uploaded by guests at events, exhibitions and festivals.

Eventstagram was chosen by the Telefonica-owned company from 3,444 applicants.

As part of the investment, Eventstagram will be granted €40,000, nine months of office space in Wayra’s Capper Street block, and access to a network of contacts and business support.

The company has covered 2,000 online events since September 2012, and created feeds for brands such as Elle, Air New Zealand and for The Gadget Show. Bosses now believes the company has potential to grow at a much quicker rate.

Strang, chief executive of Evenstagram, said: "Wayra wanted something that was innovative but also something that held a bit of magic – we felt we had those things. We have done something quite disruptive in the events industry."

The Wayra programme begins on 29 April, where Strang and Harridge have big plans for their company.

"Firstly, we want to develop the reporting side so that when events have an Eventstagram feed they will be able to organise and interact more effectively," said Strang. "They will be able to see how many people take photos and how much influence they have on social media.

"We also want to allow people to display their photos not only live at the event, but also on their website or blog."
