EVT3D
Corporate events

Corporate event design, from general session to gala.

Corporate events are sold on a picture and built from a plan. EVT3D gives you both from one design: the general session, breakout or gala laid out in 3D in the real venue, shared with the client for approval and handed to production with a spec sheet.

EVT3D is built by Troy Halsey, author of Freelancer's Guide to Corporate Event Design (Focal Press, 2010).

Free plan, no credit card. Nothing to install.

Kick off with the Event Wizard

Pick a General Session or a Breakout, give the Event Wizard the room and the headcount, and it lays out the stage, screens, seating and FOH to spec. Drag the walls and the stage line and the capacity updates. From there it's your design.

The general session

  • Six stage configurations, from the End Stage most corporate shows use to Thrust, Runway, In the Round, Proscenium and Vignette.
  • Main screens and LED walls with your content, plus I-MAG cameras feeding them.
  • Theater rows with aisles and rake, and Chair View to check the view from any seat.
  • Video village, FOH and backstage on the plan at their real size.

Galas and dinners

Seat banquet rounds with centerpieces from the Flower Shop, add stanchion queues at the entrance, wash the room in color, and build a Look for the awards moment.

Approval without the slide deck

Send stakeholders a Share Mode link. They orbit the room, step through your saved cameras, sit in seats and switch Looks in any browser, with no account. Every link also opens in a VR headset browser.

Into production

The Spec Sheet fills itself in from the design — floorplan, product lists, video surfaces — and every plan includes a 2D floorplan PDF. Teams on Pro share a library, a Team Shelf and reusable Assemblies of the house kit.

Questions we get

What kinds of corporate events can I design?

General sessions, breakouts, galas and awards dinners, product launches and conferences — any room with a stage, screens and an audience. The Event Wizard lays out General Sessions and Breakouts for you.

Who is EVT3D for?

Event designers, production companies, AV teams, technical directors, scenic designers and agencies who have to sell an event concept before they build it.

Do my clients need software to review the design?

No. They open a link in a browser or a VR headset browser. No account, nothing to install.
