The results
- 2,500 participants could listen to their speaker in a noisy environment.
- The solution enabled Adobe to provide their conference delegates with the option of which speech to listen to – without the hassle of relocating.
- The unique sound experience allowed the guests to follow the content undisturbed.
- Working closely in co-operation with Adobe, 2,500 headphones were branded with their custom design. This created a strong brand presence at the event.
- Silent Conference staff distributed the headphones to the guests, assisted delegates with the use of the headphones, and cleaned the headphones between uses.
- Over 2 days, 42 different speakers appeared on 5 stages simultaneously.
"People were able to hear and experience exactly what the speaker of their choice had to say, as well as enjoying an unrivaled choice of engagements - all without making a sound."
