Keeping Up With the Trends: Conference Technology at OPCC

A room with many screens for more convenient presentation, one of many trends in conference technology

In the modern age, organizing a conference means so much more than just assembling a group of people in a room.

Attendees expect technological resources to make the experience simpler and more convenient. And at Overland Park Convention Center, we always offer resources that can improve our clients’ conferences.

Today, we’ll take a look at the trends in conference technology and how we stay up to date with those trends. If you’re considering planning a conference with our team at OPCC, then read on to learn how our technological resources can enhance your event.

At OPCC, event planners benefit from:

  • Complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi
  • Live streaming and hybrid event support
  • Dual/split screens and confidence monitors
  • In-house AV team with on-site support
  • Flexible, fully equipped speaker-ready rooms

 

Bridging Distance with Hybrid Access

Thanks to modern technology, you can connect with friends and family across the world more easily than ever. We can use this tech for your professional benefit too, so guests can attend your conference without actually travelling to the venue.

OPCC offers robust support for hybrid conferences, allowing guests to join your sessions remotely via live streaming and integrated video platforms to make the most of your keynote speeches. While we don’t host virtual-only events, our hybrid capabilities make it easy to reach broader audiences without compromising quality.

For example, if you host an event for all the industry professionals in your region, not everyone may have the time or money to travel to Kansas or Overland Park. But that doesn’t mean they can’t attend your event.

We don’t organize virtual-only conferences, but these hybrid options allow your guests to work with attendees without meeting them in person.

AV Solutions That Elevate Your Speakers

Event planners also expect audiovisual resources. When you host a conference, you want everyone to get the full experience.

Whether you’re hosting a keynote speaker or breakout session, OPCC provides high-quality AV support to ensure every attendee can see and hear your presentation clearly. Our team installs high lumen projectors, wireless microphones, confidence monitors, and large-format display screens based on your event needs.

If you have a headline keynote speaker, you don’t want to disappoint any guests who may not be able to see or hear them from their seats, especially if you have a large audience. So when you work with our AV experts, we can set up the event space with speakers and presentation technology.

Speakers can show their presentations on large screens and use microphones to get their message across loud and clear. Every guest deserves to get the full experience from your conference lineup.
