HBD Live is the live events division of the Vivid Event Group. HBD Live provides the highest level of service to clients,
through imaginative and creative event solutions both in the UK and across the Globe.
Infrastructure
HBD Live can provide all or any of the items necessary depending on your specific requirements. These elements will differ from event to event but can be categorised under the basic following headings:
venue sourcing
Through experience built up over many years, HBD Live has access to over 650 independent venues in London, together with thousands more around the UK and across the globe.
Our venue finding service is provided free of charge to clients who confirm events with us.
sound
Sound makes, or breaks, any event. From the simplest PA system for announcements to the backline for a top band, without a quality sound system your event will be a quiet affair.
Our in house team together with strategic partners have many years experience of providing sound systems for meetings and conferences all the way to arena events and concerts.
production services
Our technicians are fully trained professionals, who are drawn from every area of the live events industry. From stage set builders, to lighting designer/programmers, to data/video and sound technicians we have one of the most dedicated teams within the UK. Technicians can be hired individually or collectively to provide an excellent support team for your Conference, Presentation, Seminar, or Awards event, etc.
video and media production
Within our partners' in house studios we are able to offer the following services that can be fully integrated into the overall production of an event or used on a stand alone basis.
2D/Flash Animation - 3D Animation - Avid Editing - Creating Presentations - Rehearsal Area - AV Production
marquees and temporary structures
HBD Live prides itself on providing imaginative and innovative solutions to accommodation of events. From small 'millennium domes' suitable for any space to the massive clearspan style structures for 10,000 guests or more, we can source and erect the structure most appropriate to your event.
audio visual equipment
Through our strategic partners not only do we have access to the most cutting edge equipment but our coverage spreads worldwide. So whether you are looking for a vocal PA for announcements or a fully rigged video projection system for a large scale venue please contact us with your requirements.
event management
Event Managementment is one of HBD Live's key competences. Our event managers are experienced in events from 10 to 10,000 delegates.
lighting
HBD Live views lighting as of paramount importance when staging any event. As a result our specialist technicians view lighting in three specific categories, all of which combine together to create the overall atmosphere for your event.
Ambient Lighting - Architectural Lighting - Stage Lighting
themeing and draping
Themeing can make or break a party or event. Whether you are looking for a subtle reminder of the reasons for the event or want your guests to think they are in Las Vegas or Morocco, we are able to style your event to suit.
And of course your theme doesn't stop at a few props - actors can circulate giving a certain amount of style, and catering can be designed to suit the occasion.
set design and build
Together with our partners, our design and construction teams ensure that we can deliver stage sets to suit most budget requirements. The sets are designed on a 3D CAD platform, enabling our clients to visualise the overall set-up of the venue, including seating arrangements and lighting plans.
delegate management
Managing Expectations or creating a sense of anticipation – effective, precise and brand driven communication will enhance the experiences of any event.
Our Delegate Support Team are responsible for communication with guests, providing detailed information about events (including processing of invitations, teasers and emails) right through to fulfilment of final itineraries and travel details.
