The Economist Open Future Festival
We had the pleasure of being the chosen UK venue for the Economist’s Open Future Festival.


WE WERE THE DEDICATED VENUE FOR THE UK – WHAT WAS YOUR MAIN DECISION FOR CHOOSING THIS?
- Location
- Size
- History
- Reputation
- Capabilities

YOU STREAMED THE EVENT ACROSS THREE DIFFERENT COUNTRIES – HOW DID THE TECHNOLOGICAL FACILITIES AT 8 NORTHUMBERLAND AVENUE AID THIS?
“8NA was able to provide an exclusive and high speed (200mb/s) internet connection, which enabled us to deliver a seamless live stream to our global audience, and also allowed us to do video links with the events running in Hong Kong and New York.”

WHAT WERE SOME UNIQUE FEATURES ABOUT YOUR EVENT?
“One of the key features was the central stage, which definitely gave a sense of increased involvement to the audience. The other key feature was the video link with the other locations where the event was taking place.”

HOW DID WE HELP MAKE YOUR GOALS ACHIEVABLE?
“8NA allowed us to work creatively with our AV supplier to bring our vision to reality, and facilitated it also, as they had a very fast internet connection and a LED wall which provided a great background when people entered the main room. The other aspect that I would like to mention was the capability of 8NA to accommodate a considerable increase in numbers on the event day.”
