Access 2819 was a large-scale prayer and worship gathering hosted by 2819 Church. There were approximately 30,000+ people in attendance across two locations, including State Farm Arena.
The Technical Elements team was brought in from the beginning to help plan and produce this massive gathering. The process and outcome looked a little like this:
- Large-scale stadium event with full-production needs
- Technical elements delivered everything from A/V production to on-site management
- Dual-location challenges and 12 hours of on-site preparation
- Seamless logistical and production services created big-impact, wow moments
What Were The Key Goals of This Event?
This was an annual gathering held by 2819 Church. The event was intended to bring as many people together as possible for prayer and worship. It got so big that they needed a second satellite location nearby.
These goals leaned right into our team’s ability to scale operations to stadium-level outputs, align with the event’s vision and mission, and deliver big-impact results despite potential complexities.
What Were The Challenges This Event Faced?
With full-production events at stadium locations, there’s so much to be done on the day of. The equipment, the gear to move it all, the team, and so much more. This would require a 12-hour load-in schedule, which is no small feat.
The second challenge was accommodating the sheer number of attendees. Like 49% of other event planners, Access 2819 knew they had to source special event venues to execute their vision. (CVENT)[1] To meet this challenge, we connected State Farm Arena to a second overflow location at the Georgia World Congress Center, without compromising attendee experience.
What Was Technical Elements’ Strategic Approach To The Goals and Challenges?
We turned a nearly impossible 12-hour load-in schedule into a streamlined success. The Technical Elements team really showed up, got right to work at 3 am, and the pushing didn’t stop until the event doors opened at 3 pm.
We also connected the two event locations via a fiber interconnect between the buildings, seamlessly linking the sites. This meant that no matter what building attendees were in, their viewing experience was the same.
Here are the full-production services we delivered:
- AV Production
- Stage and Decor Setup
- Lighting Design
- Creative Concept Development
- Video Production
- Graphic Design
- LED and Stage Design
- Provided Equipment
- On-Site Management
The Results: Event Outcomes and Client Feedback
As a religious gathering, the priority for this event was the attendee experience above all else. There were no unnecessary trappings, and every element had an intentional purpose, from the design to the lighting.
Overall, the event organizers from Access 2819 were happy with our services, professionalism, and timing. The outcomes met event objectives, and the event organizers were able to focus on their community and not the logistics.
