What's Happening

WATCHOUT for Widescreen in the Block
_________________________________________________

With the use of new technology called WATCHOUT, the technical capabilities of the block at Kelvin Grove have further improved. WATCHOUT combines multiple projectors, or other display devices, with standard computer and network technology to create breathtaking presentations of virtually any size.

The production computer uses standard technology to build the show, then distributes the media files through the network to the display computers to run the show.


Venue Hire Brisbane - Watchout widescreen


What does this mean for our clients? It means that you can project various images of your choice along the entire width of the walls in the block – that’s approximately 20 metres of connected footage. Consider WATCHOUT in the block when you next want to make an impact at your next corporate function. For more information on using WATCHOUT for your next event in the block, email Liz at events@qut.edu.au.

Old Government House:

Under Development


In August 2007, Old Government House closed for a much-anticipated restoration, and will re-open in 2009 as a new and exciting venue for hire. Once completed, it is set to be one of Brisbane’s best wedding and corporate event venues.

Until then, please don’t hesitate to contact Annika Shelley at events@qut.edu.au or have a look at www.gardenstheatre.qut.com for information on our other venues.
