It was indeed a great feeling to manage the technical production and stage of Cape Town’s first big live event after the Covid 19 pandemic – the 2022 World Sports Betting Cape Town Met.

We believe Virtual Events are here to stay, and as we start moving back to in-person events, we see a complimentary mix of virtual and in-person.
