Queensland hospitality in the Great Hall
The Queensland Hotels Association's Awards for Excellence brings together the hotels, pubs and people behind Queensland's hospitality industry. The 2026 gala dinner and presentation evening took place on 1 June in the Great Hall at Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre, South Brisbane.
The awards span accommodation, dining, bars and the people working in those venues, alongside the overall hotel and hotelier honours. For the production, that meant a formal presentation stage within a much larger dinner setting: the room itself was part of the occasion.
Building the lighting package
Working for The Project Crew, Krank'd supplied the lighting equipment and built the rig, including its circle truss. The package combined Martin MAC Viper XIP profiles and Chauvet Professional Maverick Storm 2 fixtures with Astera Titan Tubes and QuikSpots. An MDG ATMe supplied the haze.
The moving fixtures formed the larger overhead rig, while the Astera fixtures added smaller LED sources and the haze made the beams visible through the room. Alongside the awards presentation, the production photographs capture live saxophone and dance performances, with the lighting carrying those entertainment moments out into the dinner setting.
