Absen supports Global Leadership Summit with visuals at Raffles London

First Network chose Absen LED displays to provide consistent performance for a global multiday leadership event, enabling impactful storytelling, audience interactivity and seamless integration within a challenging historic space.

The Global Leadership Summit brought senior leadership teams from around the world together for a three-day conference at Raffles London at the OWO, formerly known as the Old War Office. Alongside keynote presentations, breakout sessions and leadership discussions, the event incorporated an array of visuals. Reflecting the venue’s heritage, the event required a visual solution that enhanced engagement whist complementing the prestigious setting.

While the Grade II-listed building provided an extraordinary backdrop, it required the First Network team to approach installation planning and space management with particular care. To meet these requirements, the team selected Absen LED as the centrepiece of the main ballroom environment.

A 22-metre-wide by 3.5-metre-high Absen 1.9 mm LED wall formed the backdrop to the event’s general sessions. A custom central LED feature and purpose-built stage design added depth and presence, supporting presenter entrances and dynamic scene changes. The technical crew constructed a bespoke control room and speaker green room within the venue’s underground car park. This solution allowed unobstructed use of the main ballroom while maintaining efficient communication and operational control.

Interactivity played a significant role in the conference. Drawing subtle inspiration from the venue’s history and association with Ian Fleming and the “James Bond” franchise, the creative team incorporated themed digital engagement features, supported by the LED displays.

Interactive roulette-style graphics appeared across the screen to coordinate live audience participation, while a combination of wireless Catchbox microphones and an advanced Shure Axient system enabled seamless contribution from all delegates. The technical setup accommodated 56 wireless microphone inputs and multiple audio-visual playback sources, including 7.1 surround sound.
