Strategic Hotels & Resorts: Conversation in Miami

At the Strategic Conversation Miami, Strategic Hotels & Resorts brought together their 13 US properties to align on key initiatives during their annual “conversation.” For the third straight year, BlackOak Technical Productions stepped up in creative services, media productions, and AV consulting, diving into the action from day one.

Fueled by the CEO’s mantra, “Put Everything on Steroids,” which champions big risks for big rewards, the 2024 theme was “F$$k Fear.” This daring theme demanded a bold approach to content, programming, events, and talent. From fear-factor team-building and off-site dinners to high-energy receptions, BlackOak Technical Productions crafted every detail to perfectly align with this audacious message, delivering a seamless experience that truly “put the conversation on steroids.”

We teamed up with the in-house AV provider to install a 60-foot-wide baffled LED wall, giving us complete control over the visual vibe of each day’s program. With vibrant visuals, property-tailored TV series, game show sets, and a Fear Factor-inspired TV set, we elevated the guest experience. Our expert team handled lighting, haze effects, audio, camera setups, and stage management, ensuring a cohesive and electrifying delivery throughout the conference.

For the Awards Gala’s grand finale, BlackOak teamed up with Temple House Miami, a fully-projection mapped venue, to tailor the evening’s content to perfection. Choreographed performances from Tease Productions were carefully choreographed with multiple pieces of content that matched the costume designs. Each award reveal was a showstopper, with custom content paying tribute to the winners. Post-program, the party ignited with vivid visuals, transforming the space into a vibrant dance floor.

Our collaboration with Strategic Hotels & Resorts set a new benchmark for immersive and innovative corporate events, proving our commitment to pushing the boundaries of event experiences.
