Ice 9 Productions
Facilitate Enthralling Live and Virtual Event Experience

Imagine a powerfully immersive hybrid event experience, powered by cutting-edge production technology solutions, where people interact in the same place but from different locations. Through expansive visuals and rich audio, virtual audiences can feel like they are part of a live experience in a space that blends virtual and live audiences into one.

Making this possible by bridging the gap between the physical and virtual with technology is Ice 9 Productions—a facilitator of live, virtual, and hybrid events.

This high-end audio and video engineering company utilizes the best of live event and broadcast technologies to create, compose, and control dimensional experiences for corporate events.

“We are pioneers in designing and developing connected live virtual and in-person experiences that differentiate our client’s brand, company, or service from their competitors,” says Blair Howell, Vice President of Ice 9 Productions.

Their comprehensive technical design and production services help produce 3-Dimensional brand experiences that place clients from around the world in the same place, creating high-impact, unified live business events such as investor days, leadership meetings, customer conferences, town halls, and corporate events of all sizes and profiles.

As a behind-the-scenes command center, the Ice 9 Productions HUB has created quality interactive broadcasts, a staple of modern live events, for the last decade. Connecting participants to live events in impactful ways, Ice 9 provides 3D virtual environments that allow live and virtual audiences to seamlessly communicate through meaningful human interaction.

These virtual experiences transcend the restrictions of live event environments, and clients are only limited by their imagination. Ice 9 provides easily customizable design templates, rendering a transformed, 3D world populated with brand elements, screens, desks, avatars, motion graphics, and animated transitions that fit your brand and inspire action.

Modern businesses understand the value of virtual meeting technologies like Zoom and Teams to relay essential information without in-person meetings, especially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Curating an effective employee, customer, or investor experience requires everyone involved to feel they are a part of the meeting, being seen and heard from wherever they are and personally integrated into the live in-person meeting.

Inconsistent and random backgrounds, clunky transitions, poor office aesthetics, or most low-production value solutions disrupt the flow of information by distracting the participants. Ice 9’s services integrate both the live and remote participants so that the intentional transfer of relevant information to this audience of willing listeners is done quickly, efficiently, and effectively.

From event production design to equipment operation and airtight show calling at live in-person events, Ice 9 provides smooth transitions between camera cuts, timing of slides, videos, placement of multiple remote speakers, picture-in-picture, guest interactions, audio time alignment, and speaker support to ensure the audience maintains engagement with the message(s).

The Ice 9 Productions HUB is a behind-the-scenes command center that manages all technical sources, including remote, live, or pre-recorded content, to ensure a seamless interactive experience for its clients’ broadcast participants. Ice 9 works as an extension of its clients, becoming integral to their business and ensuring the success of their events by providing face-to-face interaction between employees in a personal, energetic, and authentic way.

“The first question we ask is not about location or budget, but about strategy. What is the client trying to achieve through holding an event or broadcast? The conversation then guides us to deliver the most effective solutions to help clients reach their strategic goals. Then, by understanding their strategic objectives, we can formulate how our input and services can be useful to them through the events and experiences we create. We want to become the first-call partner, delivering events and experiences that make a difference to their specific business and the audiences they interact with,” says Howell.

This way, Ice 9 Productions helps clients create an on-brand, engaging, seamless experience, without technical interruptions and without ever losing focus on the business objectives of the program.

Always on the lookout for great technology that will allow it to push past the boundaries of live-production technology, the company is rethinking how virtual events are delivered. Shifting traditional, tactical management towards smarter, technology-driven experiences, Ice 9 empowers clients to achieve their highest efficiency level, and helps the virtual environment thrive towards providing the best immersive experience that connects people effortlessly.
