Hosting an event outdoors in a beautiful Vancouver setting sounds perfect, right? But what happens when you’re in the middle of a stadium with no access to power outlets? This is a common challenge for event planners who want to create a professional and impactful experience in a unique location. Recently, we had the pleasure of setting up stage, speaker, and microphone for an outdoor public relations event at Fenn Budett Stadium in North Vancouver, and we tackled this exact challenge head-on.

The Inquiry: A Professional Hub for an Evening Presentation

It all started with an inquiry for a complete outdoor event solution. The client’s idea was to create a central, professional focal point for an evening presentation. They needed a setup that would not only elevate their speakers but also ensure their message was delivered with crystal-clear audio to all attendees. The goal was clear: a polished stage that could accommodate a 10’x10′ tent, complete with a reliable, high-quality sound system that could perform flawlessly in an open-air environment. The catch? The entire setup had to be completely self-sufficient and run on battery power.

The Challenge: Logistics, Power, and a Tight Timeline

Our task was to transform a section of the stadium into a fully functional event space within a tight two-hour setup window. This required careful planning and execution. We needed to provide a sturdy 12’x12′ stage, but also add the finishing touches like skirting and stairs for a clean, corporate look.

The primary technical hurdle was power. With no traditional power sources available, our solution had to be robust and reliable. We utilized one of our 2KW battery power stations, a silent, eco-friendly powerhouse capable of running the entire audio system for the duration of the event. This, paired with our high-quality outdoor speakers and wireless handheld microphones, created a seamless audio experience without the noise or fumes of a traditional generator.

The Result: A Flawless Outdoor Event

Our team arrived on-site and efficiently constructed the stage, complete with all accessories, well before the client’s deadline. The battery-powered sound system was set up and tested, filling the space with clear, consistent audio.

The result was a resounding success. The professional stage provided the perfect platform for the client’s team, making their presenters the clear focus of the event. The audio quality was exceptional, ensuring every word was heard. Our crew returned after the event for a swift and non-disruptive teardown, leaving the space as we found it.

This event is a perfect example of how, with the right equipment and expertise, you can host a polished, professional event anywhere. You don’t have to be limited by power constraints.
