“Our job is to be a solutions architect
and partner”
Imagine coordinating 10+ event providers while hosting the 3-day Latino Tax Fest conference – for nearly a decade. Enter David and team in 2022. Now, imagine having a single partner who can do it all and grow attendance by 44%.
David Eck
- 20+ years of experience
- Thousands of events

The Challenge
The Latino Tax Pro customer recognized the multi-provider approach was not working for them or providing a quality experience for attendees. There was a real need to holistically understand the event experience and identify the right overall solutions.
While the Encore team was elevating the production experience at the 2022 conference, David shadowed 12 different customer teams to create a thorough event analysis with recommendations.
The Solution
Encore provided a full-service proposal to Latino Tax Pro for their 2023 event that completely satisfied their unique needs – relieving multi-partner management stress and boosting attendance and satisfaction in a big way.
Everything was reimagined from marketing campaigns, digital solutions and bilingual services to the multifunctional general session space, continuing education breakouts, expo hall and the annual pool party takeover.

“Every client has a story. It's the creative's job to bring it to life."
Marriott International was gearing up to host an exclusive three-day event for 500 of its esteemed general managers (GMs) and wanted to leave a lasting impact. Their mission? Leave the traditional conference format behind and immerse guests in an extraordinary multi-dimensional program. Enter Megan and team, ready to exceed all expectations for an unforgettable experience.

The Challenge
To execute the customer’s vision, Megan and team needed to develop and coordinate event strategy design, the thematic and multimedia creative, complex event technology and overall staging and production — for both outdoor and indoor event spaces. The star of the show, however, would be vibrant motion graphics to keep the audience’s attention while reinforcing an engaging event theme. Cesar and Autumn, rockstars from the Encore Creative Content Studio, immediately got to work on solutions. Pulling this off would be no small feat. It required cohesion across design, lighting, projection and LED screens, collaboration with Marriott International and buy-in from clients across multiple stakeholder groups.
The Solution
After presenting their concept to the customer, Megan, Cesar and Autumn received enthusiastic approval and wasted no time in bringing the idea to life. Autumn developed a playful overarching theme, “Let’s Go,” which evolved into the daily subthemes “Go Forth,” “Go Far” and “Go Fearlessly” to reinforce the event’s central concept. To really blow attendees away, Cesar developed incredibly complex 2D and 3D motion graphics that seemingly leapt off the screens! Executing this required close collaboration and extensive testing pre-event and on-site with lighting and projection experts. The remarkable end result?
- In one session, a sailboat cruised beyond the screen’s borders, emphasizing the “Go Far” subtheme.
- In another, parachuters seemingly soared out of their frame, immersing attendees in a stunning 3D experience that embodied the “Go Fearlessly” message.

“Our team can
accomplish amazing
things together”
Our team was tasked with creating five events for a Papal visit in five locations over three days for more than 200,000 people – with just 45 days to prepare. Enter Chris Baker and team.

The Challenge
The request came from the Canadian Catholic Council of Bishops for Encore to help produce the Pope’s visit to Canada. Our team was tasked with creating five events in five locations over three days for more than 200,000 people – with just 45 days to prepare.
The Solution
The challenges and requirements for each event location were completely unique. Enter Chris and team. Using Encore’s extensive resources available across Canada and North America, the team designed a plan including hundreds of people, individual crews for each site, lots of infrastructure, tons of gear, large LED walls with delayed audio, plus an eight-hour cargo flight across country to Baffin Island, the last stop.
The Result
While the challenges had short turns and were immense, the people of Encore saw solutions, and enabled the Pope to present his message to more than 200,000 people in five different locations. In short, it was a miraculous success.

Music Festival
Amphitheatre concert with Popular Musical Acts
Objectives
Popular music festival, Party In The Park, returned to the lawns of the Dubai Media City Amphitheatre for a jam-packed day of notable musical acts and immersive production.
DGT Events entrusted the Encore brand with handling the sizeable concert production requirements for lighting audio, video and rigging.
Solutions
Initially, the main challenge was working around the equipment changes within a tight time schedule. With a relatively short amount of time before load-in, our team had a fair number of updates to the equipment lists that had not originally been spec’d. One band pulled out days before the event but we effectively managed to pull things together and run a smooth sound check.
For the occasion, our team brought in a full d&b audiotechnik sound system. Our crew also rigged lighting and ROE LED panels on each side of the stage. The stage itself featured a massive 49’ x 27’ LED wall to support rich, dynamic content. Immersing the audience in the experience was particularly evident with Fatboy Slim’s custom content and perfectly timed playback. One of his tracks had instructions for the crowd to follow and with such a large screen behind him, he kept the crowd closely involved throughout.
