Fierce JPM Week 2024 in San Francisco

Every January, the biopharma industry descends on San Francisco for J.P. Morgan Healthcare Conference week. Fierce Life Sciences Events, part of Questex, runs its own program alongside it: Fierce JPM Week, which in 2024 grew to two days at the Hyatt Regency San Francisco. About 150 people attended.
A long, narrow room
The room was long and narrow, so the back rows sat a long way from the stage. We used one large 18-foot screen, centered and big enough to read from the back.
A high-intensity 12,000-lumen short-throw projector kept the image bright with the room lights up, and the short throw kept the projector close to the screen instead of in the middle of the audience.
Sound and lighting
A speaker array covered the full length of the room, so the back rows heard the panels as clearly as the front. Stage lighting kept speakers bright for the room, and uplighting on the drape framed the stage.
