On September 25, 2013, Prime Minister Harper announced Canada's interest in hosting an event to advance critical maternal, newborn and child health (MNCH) issues. Pursuant to this announcement, the Government of Canada will be hosting the Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Summit at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, May 28th – 30th, 2014.
The Department of Foreign Affairs, Trade and Development (DFATD) via, the Major Events Management Office (MEMO), requires a complete show production solution for this high-level, international event. There are four key areas of focus that need to be accommodated: audiovisual support (including the provision of large-format HD projection, broadcast lighting, audio reinforcement, simultaneous interpretation and web casting equipment, as well as associated installation/operation labour), staging (set design & construction), graphic design/large-format printing (for all interior signage, wire frame backdrops, and freestanding retractable banners), and video streaming/hosting services. Within these four areas, maintaining a common look-and-feel in all conference spaces is paramount.
