Novum Live plans and produces corporate conferences, taking responsibility for the agreed scope across programme, speakers, content, venue and delegate logistics, digital participation, staging, AV, rehearsals and live show control. Clients can bring us one production requirement or ask one Novum lead to coordinate the whole conference.
A conference connects programme, speakers, delegates, venue, content and live production. Novum agrees the responsibility it will take and coordinates those elements around the audience and purpose, whether the brief starts with one production need or the whole conference.

Conference responsibility
One conference plan, with ownership made explicit.
The client can appoint Novum for one production requirement or ask it to coordinate the connected conference scope.
01Start here
Date, audience and programme need
Share the conference requirement, venue position, audience and decisions already made.
02Agree ownership
Programme, delegates and production
Define Novum, client, venue and supplier responsibilities across planning and live delivery.
03Connect what helps
Content, venue, digital and technical
Coordinate only the workstreams required to make the conference operate as one audience experience.
04Deliver
Rehearsed live show control
Prepare speakers, content, systems and contingencies, then run the accepted scope through one delivery plan.
01 · The detail
Agree the conference scope
Conference management and conference production can overlap, but the responsibility should never be assumed.
Novum can own the programme and planning, a defined production scope, or several connected workstreams. The responsibility plan records client, venue, supplier and Novum roles before delivery begins.
02 · The detail
Connect programme, speakers and content
Speaker support, presentations, film, graphics and the running order are developed around what the audience needs to follow and take away.
Content decisions are connected to staging, screens, audio, rehearsal and cueing so the programme and production do not become separate projects.
03 · The detail
Plan the delegate and digital journey
Venue arrival, registration, room changes, accessibility and remote participation can be included where the brief requires them.
Hybrid participation is designed around the audience and content, with platform, facilitation and technical responsibilities agreed rather than added as an afterthought.
04 · The detail
Rehearse the critical moments
The production plan identifies content checks, speaker preparation, testing, backups, communications and the moments where rehearsal most reduces delivery risk.
Live show control then coordinates the agreed programme, people and technical cues through one operating plan.

Useful detail for planning, comparing options and writing the brief.
What does a conference production company do?
It coordinates the programme, speakers, content, venue, staging, AV, rehearsals, crew and live show control needed to turn a conference brief into a reliable audience experience.
When should we appoint a conference production company?
As early as practical, especially when the venue, programme, content or technical design is still being shaped. More lead time creates more choice and reduces late changes.
Do we have to use the venue’s AV supplier?
Venue arrangements vary. Novum can review the contract, clarify any preferred or exclusive services and compare how the venue provision fits the production requirements.
How much rehearsal time is needed?
It depends on speaker confidence, programme complexity, content, technical cues and risk. The rehearsal plan should prioritise the moments where preparation most improves the live result.
Can Novum handle one part of a conference or the whole event?
Both are possible. Novum can take responsibility for a defined production requirement, several connected workstreams or the wider conference plan. The scope can cover programme, speakers, venue, delegates, content, digital participation and technical delivery, with client and partner responsibilities recorded separately.
Can Novum support remote and hybrid conference delegates?
Yes, where included in the brief. The plan can connect the platform, presentation content, facilitation, remote speakers, interaction, accessibility, rehearsals and technical operation. The right approach depends on the audience, programme and the experience required for people inside and outside the room.
