Planning Conference AV in Cairo
Cairo is Egypt’s primary MICE destination — home to the Cairo International Convention Centre (CICC), dozens of five-star hotel ballrooms, and a growing number of purpose-built conference facilities. Whether you’re hosting 50 delegates in a boardroom or 2,000 in a plenary hall, professional AV production is central to your event’s success.
This guide covers everything corporate event planners, PCOs, and international agencies need to know about conference AV production in Cairo.
Core AV Components for a Cairo Conference
1. Display — LED Walls and Projection
The main display is usually the first technical decision. For conferences in Cairo’s hotel ballrooms and convention halls, a P3.9 LED wall (typically 6m × 3.375m for 300–500 delegates) delivers the best combination of brightness, resolution, and impact. For smaller breakout rooms or executive sessions, high-lumen laser projectors with a 120″–200″ screen are cost-effective and easy to set up.
2. Audio — PA Systems and Conference Sound
Line array speaker systems from brands like d&b audiotechnik, L-Acoustics, or JBL Professional deliver even coverage across conference halls with minimal echo. For delegate discussion sessions, we add radio boundary microphones on conference tables and a digital discussion system for orderly Q&A. Our audio engineers tune the system to each room’s acoustic profile before your event opens.
3. Lighting
Conference lighting in Cairo ranges from basic front wash (ensuring presenters are well-lit on camera) to full intelligent lighting rigs for gala dinners. We typically supply: front-of-house (FOH) wash, side fill, backdrop colour wash, and audience lighting. For broadcast-quality video recording, we add precision kelvin-balanced lighting to ensure professional camera output.
4. Simultaneous Interpretation
Many Cairo conferences involve Arabic/English bilingual delivery. We supply complete simultaneous interpretation systems: interpreter booths (portable or fixed), Bosch, Taiden, or Televic delegate units, and wireless receiver sets for attendees. Our interpretation equipment supports up to 32 language channels.
5. Live Streaming and Hybrid Events
Since 2020, hybrid conference delivery has become standard. Our Cairo team provides professional live streaming setups — multi-camera production, graphics overlays, platform encoding (Zoom Webinar, Teams Live, YouTube, custom RTMP), and a dedicated streaming engineer for the duration of your event.

Most five-star Cairo hotels have in-house AV departments that require external suppliers to obtain approval before bringing equipment on site.
