AMP Events has named First Sight Media as the sole audio-visual and video production partner for Event Tech Live 2026, consolidating the company’s role across the show’s technical delivery. The appointment covers the full technical production for the 2026 edition, scheduled for 11–12 November at ExCeL London, and aligns with Event Tech Live’s plan to reach its 1,000th stage session milestone.
The decision extends a working relationship between AMP Events and First Sight Media that has spanned more than ten years. Under the new agreement, First Sight Media will provide end-to-end support for the show’s stages and content capture.
Event partnership Detail and Session Milestone
Event Tech Live is set to return to ExCeL London in November 2026 with First Sight Media overseeing all technical aspects of the show’s stages. The brief includes audio, video, and broader production services for the two-day technology event.
The 2026 edition is also positioned to mark Event Tech Live’s 1,000th stage session, reflecting the volume of content produced since the show’s launch. The milestone covers sessions delivered across previous editions, with the next event expected to take the series over that threshold.
Role of First Sight Media in Show Production
Under the agreement, First Sight Media assumes responsibility for comprehensive audio-visual support across the event. This encompasses stage sound, projection and display, and technical coordination for presentations and live content.
The company will also handle video production for the show, capturing sessions and other programmed content. This remit positions First Sight Media as a central technical partner for both in-room experiences and recorded material.
Extension of Long-Term Collaboration
The new contract formalises a collaboration between AMP Events and First Sight Media that has been in place for more than a decade. Over that period, First Sight Media has supported Event Tech Live with audio-visual and video services as the show has developed its content programme.
By appointing a single technical production partner for 2026, AMP Events is building on that existing operational relationship. The arrangement is designed to streamline production planning and execution for the ExCeL London edition.
Event Tech Live 2026 Schedule and Venue Detail
Event Tech Live 2026 will run from 11 to 12 November at ExCeL London, one of the United Kingdom’s major exhibition and conference venues. The event focuses on technologies and services for live, hybrid, and digital events.
The show’s programme is built around stage sessions, demonstrations, and exhibitor participation from across the event technology sector. With First Sight Media now responsible for the full technical production, the 2026 edition will continue to rely on a coordinated AV and video delivery model.
Impact on Stage Session Delivery
The milestone of approaching 1,000 stage sessions underscores Event Tech Live’s emphasis on educational and case study content. The concentration of sessions requires consistent audio, video, and technical support across multiple spaces.
By tasking First Sight Media with the end-to-end technical production, AMP Events is aligning all stage operations under a single provider. This includes managing the practical demands of running a high volume of sessions over a short timeframe.
Ongoing Development of Event Technology Showcase
The appointment of a dedicated technical production partner for Event Tech Live 2026 reflects the show’s continued focus on structured, content-led programming. The collaboration with First Sight Media is part of the operational framework that underpins the event’s staging and delivery.
As the 2026 edition approaches, the partnership will centre on preparing the technical infrastructure required to support the show’s schedule at ExCeL London and to document its growing library of stage sessions.
