Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Can I bring in my own production company? Yes, but do ask for a quote from the in-house audio-visual team, Interface as they have considerable experience in hosting events plus knowledge of the building. We also have extensive equipment held ‘in-house’.
  2. How much equipment is included in the room hire? Most of our main rooms at The Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre include some basic audio-visual equipment and these vary depending on the size of the room. A detailed list of equipment is contained in our service rates and information brochure and you should note that the value of this equipment has already been discounted once it is included in the audio-visual package.
  3. Is Interface a subcontractor? No, Interface is a brand name for when the in-house crew work outside The QEIICC.

  6. Do you have your own microphone frequencies? Yes, and these are listed in our service rates and conditions brochure. If you plan to hire radio microphones or any other similar equipment such as audience response, please avoid them. If you are using Interface use of these frequencies are automatically included in the hire of microphones and some packages include radio microphones anyway.
