General Sessions

Rely on us to make your opening day general session a rousing success. Our event planners in Connecticut will produce your spectacular opening event as well as your general sessions. We have produced many successful general sessions for both national and international clients, including nonprofit events in Manhattan. We supply our state-of-the-art intelligent lighting and can project your conference themes and logos on walls, screens, and stretch fabrics. You can have lasers, PowerPoint presentations, and an image magnification (I-MAG) of your CEO, president, and other guest speakers. With our equipment in place, we can ensure that the presenter’s “image” is visible to the people furthest from the stage.

Through our award-winning decor and lighting division, Big Wave can transform any hotel ballroom or outside area each night of your convention into a beautifully themed event. Our production crew can supply audio, lighting, and live I-MAG for your entertainment needs. Big Wave can even help you find national acts for your special events.

Additionally, Big Wave will produce a four-to-eight minute digital video recap of your conference to be aired at your final general session or closing night event. The recap will include registration, general sessions, special events, and the featured speakers at your conference. Call us today and find out why we are known as specialists in a number of business events, which include corporate parties in NYC.

I have had the pleasure over the past several years of working with Brian Winthrop and his capable staff on special events held at Yale University’s Lanman Center. Big Wave has successfully transformed our facility from a large basketball practice space into an elegant ballroom for several of our major awards and fundraising dinners. The creativity, personal touch and professional service they provide combine for a simply exceptional and satisfying experience. And, the care for the facility, the quick build and the rapid strike out make them a top performer in the industry. Most importantly, it’s the ‘oohs and aahhs’ from our event attendees as they enter these enchanted venues confirms for me that choosing Big Wave is the right decision.

The Providers’ Council’s annual convention and expo is an important event for us each year. We were pleased to have Big Wave bring a new level of excitement to the day with their lighting and technology for this celebration of the fine work done in the human services by professionals in the Commonwealth.

As a meeting planning professional at a trade association, I've had the pleasure of working with Brian and Mariella at Big Wave for the past seven years. They combine the creativity you'd get from a boutique ad agency with the technical professionalism you'd get from a big production company. They're always beside me, on the spot, providing solutions and executing last-minute changes. As a meeting planner, they make me look good! And as to pricing, they beat the pants off the big in-house A/V services you find at hotels and convention centers, like the one that starts with a P and ends with a V. Feel free to contact me for a referral. David Chu, chu@ctema.com.
