Last week, the Eventspec team had the incredible opportunity to exhibit at Events Uncovered 2025, one of the most exciting trade shows in the Australian events industry calendar. Hosted in Sydney, the expo brought together venue managers, PCOs, event planners, production specialists, and suppliers from across the country, all under one roof to share ideas, inspiration, and innovations shaping the future of live events. As our first expo showcase, the day was a milestone for Eventspec. It gave us the chance to connect face-to-face with event professionals, highlight our capabilities in audio visual production and event technology solutions, and have a little fun along the way with our now-famous claw machine. The Energy of Events Uncovered The atmosphere at Events Uncovered was electric. From the moment doors opened, we were surrounded by the energy and creativity that drives the events industry. Our stand quickly became a hub of conversation, laughter, and plenty of attempts at winning prizes from the claw machine. Beyond the fun, what stood out most were the meaningful conversations we had with venue managers, PCOs, and event organisers who were eager to learn more about how Eventspec can support their next conference, gala dinner, awards night, or live entertainment event. A Team Effort A huge highlight of the day was seeing our team in action. Special recognition goes to Chris Condon, who showed the true Eventspec spirit by coming straight from an event, building the stand himself, and then powering through the day meeting with attendees. It was a perfect reminder of the dedication and hands-on approach that makes Eventspec a trusted partner for clients across Australia. Showcasing What We Do Best At Events Uncovered, we showcased more than just our stand. We highlighted Eventspec’s full-service capabilities, including: AV hire and production – high-quality sound, lighting, and vision solutions tailored to any venue. Staging and technical design – scalable setups to elevate both small meetings and large-scale shows. Creative technical direction – experienced crew ensuring seamless event delivery. Special effects and audience engagement tools – like Sparkulars, LED screens and creative lighting solutions For us, the expo wasn’t just about equipment, it was about showing how our event production expertise helps clients deliver unforgettable experiences. Why Exhibiting Matters As a Sydney-based event production company, being part of Events Uncovered gave us the chance to stay connected with industry peers, learn about new trends in event technology, and showcase our commitment to sustainable, innovative production solutions. It also reinforced what we love most: collaborating with passionate people across the events ecosystem, from planners and venues to suppliers and performers. Looking Ahead Our debut at Events Uncovered was a success we’ll never forget. From the energy of the expo floor to the support from the community, it confirmed that Eventspec is on the right track as we continue to grow and deliver AV and staging solutions that make events shine. To everyone who stopped by for a chat, a laugh, or a go at the claw machine, thank you. You made our first expo experience one to remember. We can’t wait to see you again at future industry events and to support your next conference, gala, or special event with seamless production and end-to-end AV solutions.

We’re thrilled to share that Eventspec has been named Best AV & Staging Company in the 2025 Spice Hot 100 awards! This was our first year being nominated and to come away with the win has honestly blown us away. A Huge Honour in a Competitive Field The Spice Hot 100 is one of the most respected awards in the Australian events industry. It shines a spotlight on businesses delivering the highest quality across production, styling, venues, catering and more. These awards are entirely voted for by the clients and customers we serve, so to take away the win is something we'll hold onto for a long time. Built from the Ground Up Eventspec is a small, independent business, built on hustle, heart, and a deep respect for what it takes to deliver a flawless event. We don’t have big backers or global infrastructure. What we do have is a crew that works damn hard on every stage, in every venue, for every client. Long hours, tight turnarounds and high stakes; our team consistently shows up, solves problems, and gets it done. This win is a reflection of that effort. Recognition That Means Something We don’t do this work for awards, but we won’t lie, this one feels pretty special. To be acknowledged by the clients and collaborators who’ve experienced our work first-hand means more than we can say. It reminds us that quality, consistency, and care do get noticed, even if you're not the biggest name in the game. Thank You To Spice Magazine, thank you for creating a platform that celebrates excellence across our industry. To the clients, collaborators, venues, and suppliers who voted for us, we couldn’t do what we do without your trust and support. To the incredible Eventspec crew, this one’s for you. Thank you for everything you do for our business, our clients and each other. Together we've created something really special! We’re proud to stand alongside the best in the industry, and even prouder to represent what a small, independent team can achieve with the right mindset. #SpiceHot100 #Eventspec #AVandStaging #AwardWinningTeam #SmallBusinessBigImpact #LiveEvents #ProductionLife #EventspecCrew #EventIndustryExcellence

We’re proud to announce the launch of our new encrypted tour system, which made its debut at the Georges River Uncontained Festival and it couldn’t have gone better. Designed for public spaces, festivals, and high-traffic environments, this new tech investment allows us to deliver immersive guided experiences with total clarity, even in complex or noisy settings. A Smarter Way to Guide Audiences For the Uncontained Festival, we were tasked with supporting a series of guided walking tours that explored the incredible installations, performances, and stories woven throughout the event. To do it right, we needed a system that was reliable, interference-free, and easy to deploy across a changing outdoor environment. Our new Listen Technologies Wireless Tour Guide Systems delivered exactly that and more. Key features of the system include: 🎧 Multiple receiver units with headphones for participants 🎙️ A single, secure transmitter for the guide or facilitator 🔒 Encrypted closed-loop signal ensuring private, uninterrupted audio 🙌 No interference. No dropouts. Just clean, consistent sound from start to finish. It allowed us to connect audiences directly to the stories being told; no shouting, no background noise, no technical distractions. Designed for More Than Just Festivals While the system was a standout at Uncontained, this is just the beginning. We're already planning to roll it out across a range of upcoming events, including: Art and exhibition tours Corporate site walkthroughs Council-run community events Experiential activations and brand-led campaigns Wherever there’s a need for clear, private group communication—this system will deliver. A Big Thanks to D2N A huge shoutout to the team at D2N – Technology Solutions for their support in sourcing and integrating this new gear into our inventory. Their expertise in broadcast and event communications helped us choose a solution that fits our needs perfectly, and their service throughout the setup and testing process was second to none. This partnership has helped us strengthen our offering and we’re excited to continue exploring how this system can enhance audience experiences across all kinds of events.

Earlier this month, Eventspec had the pleasure of lighting one of the most visually striking installations at the Georges River Uncontained Festival—the unforgettable Tower Divas performance piece. Part public art, part live performance, Tower Divas combined fashion, sound and scale to transform the streets of Kogarah. And we were proud to bring it all to life with immersive lighting and sound design. Designing Light for Impact This installation was all about presence—and light played a huge role in amplifying the power of the performance. A huge shout out to Dylan, who designed a lighting display that was both bold and elegant. His vision shaped how the audience engaged with the installation, adding dimension and drama to every moment. Here’s how we approached the lighting setup: Astera battery-powered uplights were positioned at the base of the building columns, bathing the architecture in rich colour without the need for cabled power—ideal for heritage facades and tight install windows. Acme lighting fixtures mounted on truss towers created vertical shafts of moving light, framing the performers and adding theatrical impact. Astera Titan Tubes were placed discreetly beneath the performers' towering dresses, providing a soft, glowing underlight that created an ethereal, floating effect as they moved. The result? A fully immersive installation that felt like a living sculpture—illuminated with care and precision. Audio to Match the Visuals To complement the lighting design, we also supplied discreet, high-quality audio throughout the site to support narration, ambient sound, and performer cues—ensuring audiences were guided and grounded, even as the spectacle took shape around them. Art Meets Production Uncontained is one of Sydney’s most creative and community-driven festivals—and it was a privilege to collaborate with artists and curators who push the boundaries of public performance. Our role is always to support the vision with the right tools, crew, and tech, while staying invisible enough to let the art shine. Massive thanks to the Georges River Council and the Tower Divas team for trusting us with this spectacular installation.

This week, Eventspec had the privilege of hosting the first stop on the 2025 Ross Video Tour, presented by the brilliant team at Professional Audio & Television (PAT). Being the inaugural venue on the national tour wasn’t just exciting—it was a huge honour. The PAT crew rolled in with the latest innovations from Ross Video, giving our team a rare, hands-on experience with some of the most advanced production gear in the world right now. Tech We Got Up Close With From live video switchers and control systems to state-of-the-art broadcast graphics, this wasn’t just a look—it was a deep dive into how Ross technology is shaping the future of live production. For an event-focused company like ours, where seamless delivery and real-time control are everything, it was a brilliant opportunity to explore how these tools can enhance the work we do every day. Our crew loved the chance to test-drive the tech, ask the tough questions, and get real-time insights from PAT’s expert team. Why It Matters At Eventspec, we don’t just stay current—we stay ahead. Whether we’re delivering live-streamed corporate events, large-scale activations, or festival content, our clients rely on us for technical excellence. Tours like this keep us sharp, inspired, and ready to level up. Big thanks to PAT for choosing us as the first stop on the Ross Video tour, and to everyone who joined us for a day of serious gear talk and great conversations. Want to talk tech? If you’re planning an event and looking for a production partner who lives and breathes this stuff—we’d love to chat. Our team is always ready to help you bring the big ideas to life, with the right gear and the right crew behind you.
