MCL London helps Elsevier fuel the Hydrogen Debate

UK - At the eighth Grove Fuel Cell Symposium, which took place at ExCeL in London's Docklands at the end of September, the UK Fuel Cell Vision was launched by the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI). The Vision highlighted the benefits to the UK in taking a leading role in fuel cell development and deployment, and described a pathway for fuel cells in the UK over the coming years. To help get the message across to delegates, symposium organisers Elsevier - one of the world's leading scientific information providers - contracted MCL London to provide a technological dynamic in the main conference room. MCL came up with a design that was sympathetic to the event, the centrepiece of which was a 20ft screen - surrounded by various branded panels - with rear-projected Powerpoint displays from a powerful Christie Roadie X10 DLP projector.

Nick Whitehead's lighting design was dominated by gobo projections from High End Studio Spots (which echoed the conference logo), while MCL's newly-acquired LED Color Blast luminaires were used to provide colour-change on the lectern and the top tables. A generic lighting rig provided house lighting. MCL's audio department supplied a 16-speaker d&b rig for speech reinforcement, mixed on a Soundcraft 24-channel K3 which took feeds from the radio mics and PC's. Rob Day reports that Elsevier were delighted with the level of technical support generated over the two-day event.
