What the client needed

Hanson Wade asked for coverage of the speakers, group photographs of the exhibitors, and a special focus on attendees and exhibitors networking and interacting.

Photography coverage

  • Speaker sessions in both session rooms
  • Group photographs of the exhibitors
  • Partner and exhibitor coverage on the trade show floor, including signage
  • Attendees and exhibitors networking
  • Luncheons
  • Candid photographs of the Hanson Wade team

The challenge

Sessions ran in two rooms at the same time, with roughly three panels in each room across the day, so one photographer couldn’t cover both. The exhibitor group photographs added a third job to the same schedule.

Our approach

We split coverage between the two session rooms. We made the exhibitor group photographs while the sessions were running. That kept exhibitors out of the attendee traffic and left the exhibit hall clear, so we could photograph each partner team without interruption while the speakers stayed covered.

Delivery

We delivered about 600 images within the 48-hour deadline. The online gallery was organized into folders for networking, Track A speakers, Track B speakers, luncheons, signage, partners and exhibitors, and candids of the Hanson Wade team.

Results

Hanson Wade used the images to market future events and to share the event on social media. In the words of Brontë Millard, Marketing Manager:

“The images were brilliant. They captured the community feel of the event and the buzz of networking – exactly what we were looking for.”
