The challenge

A UN Security Council meeting sets a floor, not a target: every delegate must hear the floor language and their own, on the record, without a single dropout — across two cities on consecutive days. There is no rehearsal window that makes a failure recoverable and no version of the event where the room simply runs late.

Our approach

We built the delegate floor around a full conference discussion system, one microphone and receiver position per seat, with simultaneous interpretation distributed across six UN languages on discrete channels. The chamber was framed by a continuous LED band — a centre canvas carrying the meeting identity, extended by side screens so the UNSC and CTED marks and the agenda remained visible from every seat and every press position. Both venues were specified identically and commissioned with redundancy on audio and distribution, so the Delhi build was a repeat of a proven configuration rather than a second first attempt.

The outcome

Both sittings ran to the diplomatic schedule with full interpretation coverage, delegate audio on every seat and consistent identity across the two venues.

Highlights

  • Delegate conference system with per-seat microphone and receiver
  • Simultaneous interpretation across six UN languages on discrete channels
  • Continuous LED band carrying UNSC and CTED identity to every seat
  • Identical technical specification commissioned in two cities
  • Redundancy built into audio and signal distribution throughout
