When planning a speaker event for your organisation, community, church or education facility, there are an array of critical elements that need to come together for the event to be deemed a success. From the right venue, to an engaging and knowledgeable speaker, as well as timing, location, topic, etc. … the list goes on.

One element often undervalued is the humble stage. While on the surface it may feel like a stage is a stage, when it comes to speaker event staging, getting it right can often be the difference between an engaged audience and rapturous applause, and a presentation that is lacking. So to give you some ideas on professional stage set ups that hit the mark, in this article, we discuss how custom staging solutions can enhance your speaker events.

Why custom staging solutions?

For staging for public speakers to hit the mark, the stage needs to be fit for purpose. The beauty of custom staging solutions is that you can adapt, enhance, modify or build your stage from the ground up to suit your event.

Some benefits of well-executed corporate staging include improved audience engagement, enhanced acoustics, and an overall better experience for attendees. When the audience can see and hear the speaker comfortably and without effort, and the stage is visually appealing and free from distractions, they can tune in and engage with the presentation fully.

Key elements to elevate speaker presentations

When it comes to creating customised staging for impactful presentations, there are some essential elements that should be considered. Firstly, the stage must be accessible, and this could mean the inclusion of stairs, access ramps, or a combination of both, as well as safety elements, including railing and non-slip surfaces. This is particularly important if there are multiple speakers or audience members entering and exiting the stage during the presentation.

No matter the type of event, when you are presenting to an audience, the aesthetics are crucial to setting the tone. In terms of staging, there are a range of customisations you can include and adapt to achieve your desired look. For example, the stage skirting, curtain system, deck finish, railing and fascia infill all present an opportunity to customise with colours and materials that align with your brand, theme or image you wish to portray, allowing you to enhance speaker platforms with your unique flair.
