The NZZ Connect events promote the exchange between business and science and offer independent, competent and reliable information on current topics from business, science and politics. As an important innovation community and dialog platform in Switzerland, they bring together leading decision-makers.
As a dialog platform , NZZ Connect brings together leading decision-makers from business, science and politics and promotes the exchange of information on current and future-relevant topics. FutureHealth is an established platform for innovation in the healthcare sector that connects key players and facilitates interdisciplinary dialog on current developments in the healthcare sector.
The 9th edition of FutureHealth took place in Basel and brought together around 500 participants and over 30 speakers from Switzerland and abroad. The program under the motto "Prevention and Mental Health: From Challenge to Change" included presentations, panels and discussions on current issues and the future of the healthcare sector. Between the thematic blocks, networking breaks provided space for exchange among the participants and with representatives of the life science community. In addition to inspiring keynotes from top-class speakers and deep-dive sessions, the Innovation Challenge complemented the program for the first time: Innovators present projects and solutions that make a measurable difference in the healthcare sector.
Starting position
For many years, the Kilchenmann team has ensured the professional and smooth technical implementation of NZZ Connect events. As a reliable technical partner, Kilchenmann assumes complete responsibility for the planning, coordination and implementation of all technical requirements - from the initial concept idea to the last minute of the event.
The implementation took place within a clearly structured schedule: The technical set-up began on March 17, followed by rehearsals and functional checks on March 18. The event itself took place on March 19 . The subsequent dismantling of all the technical equipment was carried out efficiently that same evening.
Technical implementation
A stage with corresponding event structures was built for the main program and integrated into a coherent, holistic event concept. The visual display was provided by LED walls with a total area of around 40 m², which were used for presentations and video recordings. The video and presentation technology was designed in such a way that all content could be reproduced clearly, with high contrast and fail-safe.
A sound system from d&b was used in the audio area, consisting of E8, Y7P and B4 components. This was supplemented by a wireless microphone system with 12 channels based on Axient Digital. This ensured consistent, intelligible speech transmission at all times - both on the podium and in the audience, as well as during spontaneous requests to speak. JBL P9 spotlights were used for the lighting . Rigging was carried out using a ground support with four feet, which served as a supporting structure for lighting, audio and video components. This solution offered a high level of structural safety and flexibility in the positioning of the technology without having to interfere with the existing building structure.
Kilchenmann was responsible for the project management of the overall technical implementation. This included detailed planning, coordination with NZZ Connect and other project participants, coordination of the trades on site, time and resource management and technical support during the event. This centralized responsibility reduced interfaces, shortened decision-making paths and ensured a consistent level of quality across all technical disciplines.
