Conference AV equipment in Wakefield can be hired from Phantom Production Design, based locally at Production Park. Phantom PD supplies individual equipment, complete conference packages and fully crewed technical production for venues across Wakefield and West Yorkshire.
What Equipment Does a Conference Need?
PA system sized for the room
Lectern, handheld, lapel or headset microphones
Digital mixing console
Confidence monitors for presenters
Projection screens, televisions or LED displays
Presentation switching and playback computers
Stage lighting and room lighting
Cameras, recording and livestream equipment
Staging, lecterns and accessibility ramps
Cabling, distribution and backup equipment
Small Meeting or Multi-Room Conference?
A small meeting may only need a screen, two speakers and one wireless microphone. A larger conference can require a main stage, multiple breakout rooms, video distribution, recording, branding, technical crew and a central production schedule.
The supplier should design the system around the venue, delegate count and programme rather than offering the same package for every event.
Dry Hire and Fully Supported Packages
Dry hire is suitable when the venue or organiser has competent technicians. For most business conferences, a supported package is more reliable because the supplier installs the system, tests presentations and remains available during the event.
Why Use a Local Wakefield Supplier?
Easier venue surveys
Reduced travel and transport
Quicker response to equipment changes
Local collection and delivery options
Knowledge of Wakefield venues and access constraints
Information Needed for a Quote

Date and operating times
Delegate numbers
Stage and seating layout
Number of presenters
Microphone requirements
Presentation and video content
Recording or streaming requirements
Build and removal access
