YEAR END FUNCTIONS

CELEBRATE A SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN STYLE

Showtech provides the technical production for corporate year end functions across Johannesburg, Pretoria and the wider Gauteng region — sound, lighting, screens and staging for the awards, the speeches and the celebration, managed end to end by our own crew.

A year end function is the event your company takes most seriously and enjoys the most. It’s where the year’s wins are celebrated, staff are recognised, and the team lets its hair down. But it still has to run properly — the CEO’s wrap-up needs to be heard, the awards presentation needs to land, and the celebration needs sound and lighting that carries the night. We handle all of it, so your function feels like an event, not a hall with a speaker in the corner.

We’re a corporate AV company, not a party-hire outfit. That means your year end function gets the same professional production and reliable crew as a conference — with the energy a celebration needs.

What we provide for Year End functions

Awards Ceremonies & Screens

  • The awards are the centrepiece of most year end functions, and this is where we shine. We supply screens and projection for the presentation, content and video playback for award reveals, showreels and staff recognition, and clear staging so every winner and every moment is seen. Whether it’s a formal awards evening or a fun team recognition segment, we make the presentation look professional and land properly.

Audio

  • We provide clear speech amplification for the executive address and awards announcements, then high-output sound for the celebration and entertainment that follows. Wireless microphones for presenters and hosts, and a system tuned to carry both a speech and a dancefloor — because a year-end function transitions from formal to festive in one evening.

Lighting

  • From professional stage lighting for the awards and speeches to colour, wash and moving-light effects for the celebration, we light the room for both halves of the night. The awards look sharp and considered; the party feels like a party.

Staging

  • Custom staging for the awards presentation, host and entertainment — sized to your venue and built safely by our crew, integrated with the screens, sound and lighting.

Entertainment

  • We have in-house DJs available, and we can connect you with trusted affiliate entertainment suppliers — bands, MCs and acts — to complete your year end function. One less thing for you to source and coordinate.

Why a managed partner matters for year end functions

Your year end function happens once a year, and everyone remembers how it went. A failed awards reveal, a microphone that cuts out during the CEO’s toast, or sound that can’t fill the room takes the shine off an event your team looked forward to all year. We plan the production around your programme — the formal part and the celebration — bring backup for the critical elements, and keep a technician on-site all night. Where a venue’s power is a concern, we can arrange generator backup so loadshedding doesn’t end the party early.

With over 20 years producing corporate events across Gauteng, we know how to make a year end function run smoothly and feel special.

Book early — year end season fills fast

Year end functions cluster into October, November and December, and the best dates and suppliers go early. If you’re planning your company’s year end function, get in touch well ahead of the season so we can secure your date and plan the production properly.

Our year end production draws on our full range of corporate technical servicesaudio, video, lighting and staging.

GET A QUOTE

    Do you handle the awards ceremony part of a year-end function?

    Yes — it’s one of the things we do best. We provide screens, projection, content and video playback for award reveals, showreels and staff recognition, plus the staging and lighting to make the presentation look professional.

    Can you provide sound for both the speeches and the party?

    Yes. We supply a system that handles clear speech amplification for the executive address and awards, then high-output sound for the celebration and entertainment afterwards, all managed by our engineer through the night.

    Do you provide a DJ or entertainment?

    We have in-house DJs available, and we can connect you with trusted affiliate suppliers for bands, MCs and other entertainment, so you can source it all through one point of contact.

    What about loadshedding?

    Power backup is venue-dependent — some venues have generators, others don’t. Where it’s a concern, we can arrange generator backup so loadshedding doesn’t interrupt your function.

    When should we book?

    As early as possible. Year-end season runs October to December and the best dates fill fast, often by September. Booking early lets us secure your date and plan the production properly.
