Event Production Services

Notice Description

Ofcom has a broad remit in terms of its regulatory duties and the Government has now appointed Ofcom as the regulator for online harms in the UK. With these new duties we are expecting to engage businesses and consumers even more over the coming months and years and so we're seeking to engage an events production company that can enhance and deliver many Ofcom corporate events. Events will be a mix of in-person, hybrid or virtual. These can take the form of conferences, roundtables or workshops. Most events will include keynote speeches, presentations, panel discussions and Q&A. Attendee numbers can range from 30 - 1000. With their knowledge, production kit (audio, video, lighting), production strategy, staging, programming, running of the event, design, interactive technology, and post-event analytics this service will support in delivering our key messages, networking, collaborating with our stakeholders.
