The setback prompted the creation of a new state-of-the-art conference facility for the future of events that would be stronger and more innovative than ever before. Justin van Hooijdonk owner of the NBC Conference Centre, collaborated with internal stakeholders, clients, and trusted partners to create a conferencing powerhouse.

the solution

the technology

The NBC Conference Centre offers two expansive event areas, 22 secondary meeting rooms, a hospitality area with natural light, and an atmospheric green garden. Technology played a key role in helping the event space stand out even further, with attributes like the large projection décor in the Netherlands. The venue needed to centralize control to streamline operations, integrate various systems for comprehensive monitoring, and facilitate effortless communication between staff members and guests.

The conference center selected DM NVX® AV-over-IP technology for its delivery of crystal-clear 4K video over standard gigabit networks. The solution provides exceptional image quality and low latency while seamless distribution allows content to be spread throughout the venue, offering synchronization or individualized content for an immersive experience across its various spaces. The DM NVX is future-ready, simplifies the installation process, and reduced costs.

The content distribution throughout the facility allows presentations or multimedia pieces to be displayed effortlessly. The NBC Conference Centre hosts large events regularly, and DM NVX technology can unite these crowds via a unified experience, as camera images from the meeting rooms can be streamed to the other spaces in the case of overflow. The system is flexible and allows personalization of spaces and content to meet the needs of any event. The staff can also access the controls through their mobile devices to make real-time adjustments while an event is underway.
