Mr Achmad’s remit as state manager is to lead a strong and dedicated team as they continue deliver events that position Staging Connections at the front of event technology through the integration of digital assets to heighten event engagement.

“It has been a pleasure to have Matt join the team and inject a new capability.  We pride ourselves on leading the way in delivering exceptional event experiences, the introduction of Matt’s wealth of knowledge and depth of skill combined with a range of new technologies to bolster our capabilities has created a new event force in the Western Australian market and one I’m honoured to lead.” said Mr Achmad.

“I’m privileged to have joined such a passionate team. Their focus on the client and creating industry leading events is a pleasure to be a part of,” said Mr Simpson

“We understand the importance of ensuring a client’s brand permeates every level of the event, and this comes down to attention to detail which I believe sets our team apart.” added Mr Simpson

Looking towards the future Mr Simpson expects the industry will witness an even greater convergence between software performance and projection quality that will have a flow on effect to event delivery, “Digital artists are now able to work in huge resolutions, which translates into razor sharp projected images that completely fill the viewer’s field of vision, creating a completely immersive experience.“
