Gold Coast CEC releases video series of event case studies

The Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC) Australia has released the first in a series of six video event case studies, produced in partnership with Business Events Australia. The first three-minute production takes the viewer through the planning of a 2,000-person gala dinner during a pandemic for client Gold Coast Health. The remaining videos will aim to showcase the venue’s flexibility and capabilities from both client and GCCEC’s perspective. The case studies will add to the Centre’s visualisation and virtual toolkit. In 2021, the Centre launched GCCEC+ which includes multiple platforms that enable users to explore the venue from anywhere in the world. These include an app using extended reality (XR) technology, a 360-degree video site inspection with interactive hotspots and an interactive venue floorplan with click and reveal room capacities. Kerri Brown, manager of brand and communications at GCCEC, said: “Clients and event planners have many questions around how their event may look if impacted by changing regulations and health mandates. We saw an opportunity to make things a little easier by showcasing events through video during this time. The series will include conferences, trade shows, banquets, and meetings across several industries.”
