Venue · Houston
Event production at the George R. Brown. Houston's flagship convention center.
OTC every May, CERAWeek every March, NAPE every February, plus the corporate summits and SKOs that fill the calendar between. We load in at GRB on something close to a monthly cadence. That means we know General Assembly's 6,400-seat ceiling, Exhibit Hall E's freight cycle, and which dock doors lock at 5 p.m.
What we know about the room
General Assembly, Grand Ballroom, and Exhibit Halls A through E.
- General Assembly. Up to 6,400 theater-style. Ceilings clear flown LED on certified rigging, venue engineering signs the load. Default room for any Houston flagship keynote that needs a 1,000+ in-the-room moment.
- Grand Ballroom. Divides into six sub-rooms. Pixel-matched cross-ballroom AV needs fiber pre-run on the venue's catwalk, we scope it the day the room blocks lock.
- Exhibit Hall E. OTC's signature hall. Exhibit Halls A-E run on a shared freight cycle. Teamsters Local 988 owns the dock; our producer owns the timetable.
- Ballroom A / B / C. Mid-sized ballrooms, conference, gala, or reception flips inside the same week. Ground-supported LED is the default; flown loads route through venue engineering on a case-by-case approval.
- Loading & logistics. Loading docks close overnight; convention-season freight windows are tight to the half-hour. IATSE Local 51 staffs the stagehand call. Our producer owns the freight calendar from the day the room blocks lock.
- Network & broadcast. Venue supplies wired uplinks. For any stream above 1,080p we bring bonded-cellular redundancy on the truck, GRB attendee Wi-Fi is not a broadcast plan, and we don't pretend it is.
