On October 1-2, 2024, Heroic Productions had the honor of teaming up once again with Gustavus Adolphus College for their annual Nobel Conference. Celebrating its 60th year, this year’s event was all about Sleep. “Sleep, Unraveled” brought together an interdisciplinary panel of experts to explore the vital role of sleep in both physical health and mental well-being. From the science behind our dreams, to the cultural shifts in sleep habits, and even the effects of our 24/7 lifestyle, the conference tackled it all.

With seven impressive keynote speakers and engaging panel discussions, Heroic had plenty to keep us on our toes. Our mission? Make sure these brilliant minds were seen and heard loud and clear—and do it all in a new location! This year, we took on the challenge of transforming the school’s chapel into the perfect setting, rather than the usual hockey arena.

Transforming Nobel Conference 60

How’d we do it, you ask? We swapped out the usual four-screen setup for a sleek 45×10’ curved LED wall. The massive LED certainly stole the show this year. This upgrade gave every guest in the chapel a crystal-clear view and provided a stunning, life-sized backdrop for the speakers’ presentations. We also streamed the event live with a two-camera setup, making sure our virtual audience didn’t miss a single moment.

To keep the spotlight on what mattered most—the speakers—we designed the perfect lighting setup. The key was to highlight the speakers, not only for the room, but more importantly for the cameras. The podium was mic’d for clarity, and we made sure the panelists were heard loud and clear during Q&A sessions. Whether in-person or online, our goal was simple: make sure every message was delivered flawlessly.

Until Next Year

In the end, the 60th Nobel Conference was a celebration of knowledge, innovation, and, of course, the power of sleep! From transforming a chapel into an engaging event space to ensuring every presentation was heard loud and clear, Heroic Productions was proud to help bring this important conversation to life. We’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to create an unforgettable experience. Whether it’s on a new stage, in a new space, or with another inspiring topic, we’re up for the challenge. Until then, here’s to a good night’s sleep—and the science behind it!
