Novatech Creative Event Technology

We’ve proudly partnered with Australian Hotels Association - SA Branch for well over a fifteen years, delivering the technical production behind the annual awards night.

It’s a privilege to play a part in an event that celebrates the incredible people, venues and achievements across South Australia’s hospitality industry.

Each year, our team delivers the full technical production to help create a high-impact environment worthy of an awards night of this scale.

We’re looking forward to being back again this October and helping bring another AHA | SA Awards night to life alongside the brilliant teams who make it such a standout event each year.

✨ Stars in the Arena 2026 ✨

We were thrilled to be back supporting the Festival of Music for Stars in the Arena, working alongside our friends at the SA Public Primary Schools Music Society & the Department of Education to deliver the full technical production behind this incredible event.

Held across four spectacular days at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre Arena, over 6000 students from across SA took to the stage to perform and experience the magic of being part of a large-scale live production with choreography by Ding Productions.

Congratulations to all the teams who worked hard to deliver another brilliant year of Stars in the Arena!

Together with our friends at Wrapped Creations, our team travelled north to support delivery of the 2026 National NAIDOC Week Awards at the Alice Springs Convention Centre in August.

Having supported Wrapped Creations on the National NAIDOC Week Awards in previous years, it was great to once again be part of the team behind such an important national event.

Working closely with Wrapped Creations, Techplus Live, NITV and the Alice Springs Convention Centre, it was also another great opportunity for our crew to head interstate and deliver a complete technical solution across audio, comms, lighting and video, supporting the show from planning through to live delivery.

A big thank you to Wrapped Creations & all involved for having us on board again this year, and to the many people behind the scenes who helped bring the event together in the Red Centre.

We’re thrilled to be named the 2026 National Winner for Best Application of AV in a Production, Exhibition or Display at the Audio Visual Industry Awards 🏆

The award recognises our work on the FIVB Beach Volleyball World Championships Adelaide 2025, where our team delivered the technical production and helped create a bold player-entry concept. Delivered in collaboration with RWS Global and the Volleyball Australia LOC, the project combined creative thinking, technical precision and world-class AV production to create a memorable arrival moment for athletes.

To have this work recognised nationally is an incredible acknowledgement of the people, partners and expertise behind the production.

It also marks our third consecutive win in this AVIA category since 2024, a milestone we’re exceptionally proud of.

Congratulations to everyone involved in bringing this world-class event to life 👏

With more than 2,000 students set to take part in the Catholic Schools Music Festival SA across four nights this September, we’re looking forward to being back for the 2026 Festival at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

We can’t wait to see what this year’s performers bring to the stage.

Last weekend, our team was in Melbourne for the opening of Now or Never, delivering across three very different events over three nights inside the Royal Exhibition Building.

Year after year, we’re always blown away by the incredibly diverse experiences Now or Never offers, and we were once again thrilled to back delivering production across three unique projects beneath the REB dome.

Friday saw Philip Glass beneath the iconic dome, with Orchestra Victoria opening the evening before concert pianist Maki Namekawa took to the stage. Saturday shifted gears with The Breath Haus, guiding the room through an immersive breathwork experience, before Saturday night and into Sunday morning saw 650 people spend the night under the dome for SOMNIA.

Three very different events, each creating a remarkable and unique experience for those in the room. Delivering full production in conjunction with our mates at Gig Control Australia for City of Melbourne saw an L-Acoustics SYVA rig, an impressive and discrete lighting system throughout all levels of the room and the stage centrepiece with our ROE Visual LED strip, softened with chiffon material, that was designed with the intimate nature of the three events in mind and helping shape the space without overpowering what was happening on stage.
