Audiovisual technology Schiphol

Audiovisual productions in the Schiphol region

Schiphol is more than an airport: the surrounding area has grown into a business hub where international companies, hotel chains and conference centres sit close together. Delegations fly in, hold their meeting within walking distance of the gate and often travel on again the same day. Those rhythms place high demands on technology that works right away and on a programme that runs to the minute. HuurAV operates here from its home base in Amsterdam and is usually on site within half an hour. We take care of the entire audiovisual production: from the first survey of the room to the strike afterwards, we handle lighting, sound, video and special effects, with technicians who operate everything on location.

International gatherings on a tight timeline

The location by the airport makes the area ideal for events where guests travel from afar. Think of international kick-offs, sales meetings, shareholder days and product presentations where participants drop in between two flights. That kind of programme calls for tight technical direction: speakers switch at a fast pace, presentations have to cut across flawlessly and the sound must come through clearly in several languages. For these gatherings we combine venue technology into a polished whole for corporate events and for presentations and conferences. If you are working with colleagues or clients who cannot travel in, we link the technology to a solution for hybrid events and livestreams, so that online participants follow exactly what the guests in the hall see.

Suitable venues in and around Schiphol

The airport area offers a wide range of spaces. The large hotels along the A4 and around Schiphol-Rijk have plenary halls, breakout rooms and foyers that host both conferences and evening programmes. In the office zones you will find auditoriums and company restaurants that double as event venues, and on the surrounding business parks there are spacious halls suitable for trade fairs and larger presentations. For a festive finish after a business day, we also provide the technology for parties and company celebrations, matched to the room and the venue’s house rules.

The technology we bring

For speech intelligibility and music, we handle the sound with line-array or compact speaker sets, wireless microphones and monitoring, tuned to the acoustics of the space. With lighting we create atmosphere through uplighting along the walls, spots on the stage and, where desired, moving light for the evening programme. In the field of video we work with large screens or projection, cameras and a video direction that cuts neatly between presentations and product visuals. And with special effects such as low fog, confetti or sparkulars, we create the moments that make a launch or reveal really stand out. The interplay between these elements determines how polished an international gathering comes across.

Accessibility, build-up and strike

The route from Amsterdam to the Schiphol region is short and straightforward via the ring road and the A4. In our planning we account for the rush hour around the airport and for the access procedures that apply at a hotel or conference venue in the area. We arrange the loading and unloading windows, the parking spot and the route to the hall in advance, so our technicians can build up without interruption. They handle the complete cabling and a thorough technical check before the first guest arrives, remain present during the event for the operation, and strike everything again afterwards. You will find examples of earlier productions in our portfolio.
