How Impact Production Group Staged MCCI’s Historic Gala

A pillarless ballroom, precision AV, and invisible craftsmanship that let leaders—and legacy—shine.

Legacy Meets Precision

When an institution celebrates 175 years, the production must feel as timeless as the milestone itself. On 1 August 2025, the Mauritius Chamber of Commerce and Industry (MCCI) hosted a gala dinner at the InterContinental Resort Balaclava, welcoming dignitaries, business leaders, and partners for an evening of history, networking, and celebration

For this national milestone, Impact Production Group (IPG) engineered a seamless event production—combining stage design, lighting, sound, and technical showcalling to ensure every moment carried weight, dignity, and clarity.
“Great production is invisible: the audience sees the story, not the gear.”

What IPG Delivered
  • Stage Architecture & Finishing – Lectern, podium, and skirting, aligned to the ballroom’s architecture for a polished, corporate look.
  • Visual Authority – A crisp screen package tailored to sightlines, enabling brand-first content moments like logo reveals and speaker intros.
  • Broadcast-Grade Sound – Tuned for speech clarity, time-aligned for full coverage, and calibrated for zero feedback.
  • Atmospheric Lighting – A dignified palette shifting smoothly between speeches, awards, and networking.
  • Showcalling & Cues – A flawless run-of-show, managed minute by minute, so transitions felt natural and professional.
Venue Fit: InterContinental Balaclava

With one of Mauritius’ largest pillarless ballrooms (~35,000 sq ft), the InterContinental provided the perfect canvas. Our symmetrical rig supported clear sightlines, premium visuals, and pristine audio across the entire space.

Behind the Scenes: The Human Touch
  • Our audio lead walked the room with an SPL meter an hour before doors.
  • The lighting programmer pre-built cues with soft applause fades.
  • The stage manager adjusted the lectern height for each speaker.

It’s these small, invisible gestures that turn production into guest comfort.

Thank You

Thank you to MCCI for entrusting us with this historic milestone, and bravo to our IPG crew for their precision under pressure.

MCCI’s 175-year journey has already included the logo unveiling at Caudan Arts Centre in May—a nod to legacy and future. This gala brought that vision to life.
