The Garden Route has to be one of the most popular Conference Destinations in South Africa. The world famous stunning scenery and relaxed atmosphere is an ongoing drawcard enticing businesses countrywide to schedule their conferences in the Garden Route. But the right venue alone is not enough, not even a catchy theme and trendy decor will guarantee success: you need to be able to offer top quality audio visual equipment to your delegates to ensure a smooth running conference. You may choose to hire such equipment to attain this or you may decide to purchase your own equipment. Either way you should be reassured to know that there is now a company in Knysna offering both these options - operating from Albertinia to Storms River and as far North as Oudtshoorn. In August 2002 Graham and Judy Vos, a well known couple in the Knysna business community, identified a need and acquired Hart Multimedia in Knysna (distributors for Hart Multimedia cc Cape Town) with a view to offering local supply, support and hire to conference facilities in the Garden Route.

If you are purchasing audiovisual equipment, your supplier should be familiar with the venue and the type of conferencing you will be offering, so he can help you choose the correct capacity equipment. Graham will be happy to help you plan your conference centre and advise on how best to conceal cables and permanently mount your Data Projector, Public Address system and wall or ceiling mounted screens with his custom made brackets. Only a professional installation of the correct equipment will lay the foundation for successful conferencing.

You may prefer to hire audiovisual equipment according to individual events and your client's needs. Some Conference Managers are not sufficiently familiar with the different operations of data video projectors, amplifiers, wireless microphones etc. to understand the client's requirements. This is when you need a hire company who knows what the client will need and who can offer a complete solution. Your conference will be a disaster if the client thinks he has hired a data projector with amplification, wireless mic and screen and when he arrives there is only a cable mic and screen waiting for him! When you draw on Hart Multimedia's experience in audio visual, you can rest easy, knowing everything will be just as the client expects. Graham's 20 years of IT background have stood him in good stead when conference delegates have trouble with their Powerpoint presentations or their laptop CD just will not work - you no longer need to deal with these problems when you hire from Hart Multimedia because Graham tests all the equipment, including the client's laptop when he sets up, and will be in attendance for the duration if required. Hart Multimedia offers you the full solution with regard to data video projectors, screens, amplification, VCR, CD player, Mini DV, slide and overhead projectors, flipcharts and floodlights. Even a stage can be supplied on request!!
