Summer of 2018 marked a new milestone for Cybis as we took on the production of HOSA’s 41st Annual International Leadership Conference. For the first time in Cybis’ history, ~10,000 students and members gathered together in one enormous hall to celebrate the sheer magnitude of this future-focused organization and the importance of their mission.

With everything being bigger in Texas, the 2018 ILC in Dallas allowed Cybis the space to create something special. We came up with more creative ways to excite the members of HOSA-Future Health professionals: bigger screens, a large center stage entrance, and the set’s focal point:  a spherical globe projection screen. All of these elements were used to attract attention from every corner of the gigantic space.

To highlight the high-level goals of HOSA, Cybis coordinated a glorious introduction to the conference with a pyrotechnic show along with lazers and music as well as an exciting video to hype up the audience and bring awareness to the unique impact of the organization.

With a large audience comes large responsibility, and Cybis rose to the challenge. Pre-shows were a party, general sessions filled the hall with roars of excitement, and outros attracted crowds of students eager to take photos on the elaborate custom stage. Everyone in attendance left with elated energy, marking another successful production for Cybis and HOSA-Future Health Professionals.

For a rapidly advancing business like BluJay Solutions, obtaining and maintaining customers is the key to its growth and success as a supply chain software company. To celebrate the performance of their top companies and partners, BluJay prepared to host their second annual SOAR Customer Conference in Orlando, Florida, home of Cybis Communications.

Brian Toy, BluJay’s Director of Corporate Marketing, had worked with Cybis just three years before on a very successful corporate conference at another company. After recently reconnecting, Brian informed us he was so happy with our work, he wanted Team Cybis for an upcoming BluJay production.

With a new, exciting corporate event at hand, Cybis was prepared to support all of BluJay’s audio/visual needs from equipment to creative design and all the way up to total show management. Cybis’ blend of scenic and technical professionals allowed the team to conduct effective pre-planning and have the most acute attention to every detail in production.

Using Vectorworks, a 3D software tool, Cybis was able to plan, design, construct, and preview the fully built-out ballroom and stage before arriving to the venue.

Equipped with a custom lighting package including moving lights, beam lights, and a RoadHog4 lighting console, our team created a truly unique atmosphere by illuminating the stage, room, and walls with all of the colors from the SOAR theme.

Knowing that winners were to be announced and important messages needed to be heard, Cybis’ provided the audio console, speakers, and wireless microphones that contributed to an engaging and successful audio experience.

Last but not least, we brought BluJay to the big screen with 4K projectors, 75” LED monitors, and a completely custom show graphics package with high-definition animations and personalized introductions.

As setup began, the technical side of production was underway and preparation for the show commenced. Team Cybis understands that quality comes from rehearsals. “Rehearsals, rehearsals, rehearsals” from lighting cues to speaking parts, from mic checks to graphics testing, from pre-show to outro. The solid technical execution Cybis is able to achieve is largely a result of this thorough preparedness. There is no facet of show production Cybis cannot support; and with this type of total show management, satisfaction from our clients is guaranteed.

Members of BluJay Solutions reported overjoyed reviews from customers and attendees, and are expecting increased attendance for the next customer conference. Brian Toy followed up with Cybis after the event to express his gratitude and pass along a positive message:

We’d like the same crew for next year. They were all awesome. Got compliments from the keynote speakers even that you all were some of the best production & stage crew they had ever worked with.

— Brian Toy, Director of Corporate Marketing, BluJay Solutions

In preparation for HOSA’s International Leadership Conference―the first of its kind, including members from other countries around the world―Cybis used its 22 years of experience producing live shows to develop some of its most creative work. With an audience that required the use of two Disney resort ballrooms, Cybis needed to design two unique stages that would captivate those in each room. The team involved in the stage design process integrated some of Cybis’ most elaborate designs for the HOSA sets. Adorned with hand-made structures that shined and amazed, both stages were designed to be easily seen by over 10,000 attendees – both Cybis and HOSA’s largest audience in their decade of partnership.

Faced with such a large conference, the Cybis team was motivated to think outside the box and breathe extra creative life into the production. What the team came up with was all-encompassing―big stages with multiple screens, ballrooms full of color, lighting and construction of the stages used to create volume and depth on the set with different textures and dynamic designs―the integration of everything enveloped the action happening up front.

With the extravagant stage designs in place, it was up to the rest of the team to make everything flow together. Calculated stage choreography coupled with predetermined camera shots and dazzling graphics projected on a 60-foot LED video screen allowed us to highlight all of the important accomplishments of those dedicated to HOSA’s cause. Cybis not only wanted to celebrate HOSA’s 40th International Leadership Conference, but to also emphasize in a big way the critical need of health professionals in our society.

In order to convey the important message of this huge organization, the Cybis team came up with a purpose-driven video to kick off the beginning of the conference. The introduction portrayed HOSA’s mission while inspiring the audience to pursue the various health fields that exist and have yet to be created. The video incorporated the large LED screen as well as (12) 4K televisions and two 20-foot projection screens to physically emphasize the huge impact of HOSA-Future Health Professionals. In addition to communicating the benefits of joining a health profession and making a difference, the video itself was designed to catalyze the passions of the audience members and motivate them to “lead, learn, serve, and innovate.”

As members come and go through their organization’s multi-day conferences, they are often so caught up in all of the activities that they seem to be over as quickly as they began, with only a blur of amazing memories. Many forget to take time to document such an important part of their journey as students and business leaders. While Cybis strives to create the best experiences possible in the present, the team also aims to capture and preserve the spirited emotions of those that attend.

By having photographers and videographers always around during workshops and presentations, our team is able to seize the happiest faces, most exciting times, and sheer authenticity of these moments. Cybis consolidates the highlights of the event into a video that allows attendees to “ThinkBack” on their experiences leading up to the conclusion of the conference.

While anticipation for the excitement of the closing session grows, the Cybis team works hard to not only put on an entertaining show but also bring all of the greatest moments together. These memories are edited into a ThinkBack video with a moving soundtrack right onsite to present for the hundreds or thousands of attendees. These videos become available online after the event to forever be a part of an organization’s successful journey to professional leadership.

One of the most difficult undertakings in life is not only being able to capture a moment, but also being able to create one. With a speciality in total show management, Cybis Communications has the ability to integrate all aspects of live show production to truly make an experience memorable for its audiences around the country.

In 2016, the Business Professionals of America celebrated their 50th Anniversary since the organization’s foundation. 50 years of molding young adults into the future business professionals of the world is an accomplishment that truly deserved to be recognized. Given the fortunate opportunity, Cybis integrated pre-production, identity development, script writing, lighting, audio, stage design, and post-production to capture all that BPA has accomplished and what it genuinely means to be part of the organization. In a unique, creative, and heartfelt effort to make the conference special for everyone in attendance, Cybis was able to create a moment for the audience to celebrate the remarkable opportunities that the Business Professionals of America has granted its members and the significant impact it has made on their lives.

Aside from focusing so much of the conference theme around the importance of the anniversary, the Cybis team utilized its creative expertise by kicking off the opening session with a pinnacle celebratory moment following the parade of flags. In a short video featuring the year’s national officer team, Cybis highlighted the Business Professionals of America’s greatest values and achievements on top of an inspirational soundtrack that not only moved the audience but also amplified their anticipation. With the combination of the officer team and representatives from all the states on stage, the finale of the video, timing of the on-screen image, and explosion of streamers and music, Cybis elegantly produced an impactful moment that engaged the audience and highlighted this significant milestone in the organization’s history.

The name Coco Chanel brings to mind luxurious fashions. Diamond and crystal studded styles for the high society individual. This prestigious brand merges tradition with innovative design. Cybis got in on the glitz and glam of Chanel’s fashion shows by creating a brand video with the mission to keep it classy. High fashion runway models sport various Chanel products and bass notes bounce along with spotlights on the famous logotype.

Louis Vuitton is one of the world’s leading international fashion houses of leather patterned bags and fashions. Their products are world renowned for sophistication and a legacy brand. Cybis brings the luxury in their video for the famous company. A jazzy overture pumps Parisian charm while high fashion profiles depict style through the decades. The promotional video also demonstrates the expert craftsmanship that goes into every work of art.

The DECA experience is unique – it’s big, it’s bold, it’s unforgettable, it’s epic. This year’s membership promo video celebrates DECA’s members who create memories that will last forever, make friends they’ll know for years and go to educational conferences they’ll wish never ended.

We put together a compelling video that combines the excitement of being in DECA with the real-life opportunities it presents to students.-Austin Rieker, Cybis Motion Graphics Designer

Nothing brings families together like the time honored tradition of searching out the yearly Christmas tree. Not any Christmas tree will do, however. We join one such family in their quest to find The Perfect Tree. Each family member has a different idea of what makes a tree “perfect” however mom has the final say. We track the family’s adventure through the forest as they go from fir to fir and, just as the day is drawing to an end, a magical moment occurs. Cybis was on site to film the family’s journey through the woods, using camera rigs, tracking, and even a drone shot of the magical landscape to convey our tale. This LED video for the Mall at Millenia’s Grand Court envelopes the magical wonder of the Holiday Season, and wraps everyone in the warm sentiment of what Christmas is truly about.
