Christie Lites UK supplies full lighting solution for Cisco Live

The Cisco Live EMEA tech conference landed in Barcelona in January 2019 for a week of digital-future discussion, education and debate. Every year, 16,000 people attend. Highlights of the event included keynote speeches from IT pioneers.

Global event and experience marketing agency George P. Johnson (GPJ) once again organised the delivery for this year’s conference, in conjunction with the Cisco Live team. Among the many elements of the event were the lighting solutions for the Keynote space and the Customer Appreciation Event (CAE) area.

Christie Lites UK was chosen to deliver a full lighting solution, including fixtures and crew for both the Keynote space and the CAE area, which took place in the Gran Via Convention Centre in Barcelona. GPJ’s Technical Director Mark Bannister oversaw the realisation of the project, along with GPJ Production Managers John Carrs for the Keynote area, and Emma Reynolds for the CAE area.

“This project involved the specification, delivery and operation of more than 800 lighting fixtures spread over the two areas,” says Christie Lites’ UK Account Rep Andy Strachan. “It’s the second year that Christie Lites UK has delivered this project.”

The majority of the supplied lights were the latest models from Martin Professional and GLP. Designer Paul Cook delivered lighting for the Keynote area, with Francis Clegg drafted in by Emma Reynolds to design the lighting for the CAE area.

The Keynote area saw speeches from David Goeckeler, Executive Vice President at Cisco, and Tech Innovator Larry Brilliant. Later, more than 700 technical sessions took place. The week of events culminated in an end-of-show party within the CAE area, where more Christie Lites fixtures helped work up the finale.
