“Jesus in the City” is a national conference, drawing people from all over the UK who are working with churches in urban areas. It took place in Martyr’s Church, in the centre of Glasgow, over a long weekend in June.

The conference has a varied programme, and each of the main sessions had a very different and unique atmosphere and style. The seating was arranged in a circle, to give a more inclusive feel, which demanded careful speaker positioning. The lighting had to be very flexible, with colours and positioning changes made for the different events.

This was the first outing for our dichroic floodlights, a new item in hire stock. They use coloured glass, which lets different colours pass through at different angles. The end result is a great looking graduated colour wash. They have been very popular, and we have since more than doubled our stock of them.

We supplied a 3500 lumen data projector for the main presentations, and also helped delegates with various computer issues. Our staging was well utilised, with a variety of layouts being used throughout the weekend.
