TEDx

Leeds Beckett University played host to a TEDx-style event live from The Leeds School of Arts – a night where bold ideas and brilliant minds took centre stage. Four speakers from across the university delivered talks to share their unique perspectives on today’s biggest challenges, all against a backdrop that reflected the creativity and ambition of the institution.
Working closely with the LBU team, we brought the TEDx vision to life – adhering to the official brand guidelines while adding a visual twist of our own. Our in-house creative team developed a series of concepts before landing on a look built around two large suspended earth-and-dot graphics and a striking 3D TEDx Leeds Beckett logo board beneath the screen. These bespoke elements not only defined the space on the day – they’ve also been designed to live on at future events.

Behind the scenes, we delivered full technical production, including a raised rear-projection screen, for optimal sightlines and clean camera shots. The space was carefully lit for broadcast, with thoughtful placement of soft and directional lighting to bring the stage to life while keeping the visual tone consistent across camera angles. To support the speakers, we ran rehearsals and provided comfort monitors, clickers and a discreet tech setup to help each presenter deliver with confidence. Our audio team provided both headset and lapel mics for clear sound, recording a live mix to support the live stream and on-demand content.

Speaking of the stream – three cameras and our production kit captured the event from multiple angles, giving remote viewers a fully polished experience. All of this was overseen by a specialist crew including a Project Manager, Camera Director, Audio and Video Technicians, working side-by-side with the in-house AV team.
The result? A seamless hybrid event, with over 120 guests in the room and many more joining the conversation online – a celebration of culture, community and the power of shared ideas.
