What We’ve Done: Northside Conference Centre

Northside Conference Centre is a highly professional, purpose built venue offering state of the art audio visual facilities for major conferences, cocktail functions, AGMs and corporate events. Clients from all over Sydney turn to Northside to host their events. Open Box Technology provides AV technicians and managers for many of the events in the facility. We look after a large and professional AV system in the Auditorium, as well as a few small and mobile systems and projectors.

We also regularly maintain and service the Northside’s AV equipment. This allows us to prevent many issues with the system and quickly resolve any issues as they appear.

We have provided and installed projectors and projection systems as Northside upgrades from analogue to digital video equipment. HDMI connectivity and mobile projection systems are being rolled out in a few of their breakout rooms.

Open Box Technology (OBT) provides highly skilled AV technicians who ensure a seamless delivery for all our clients’ major events. OBT provides maintenance services throughout the year to upkeep our equipment, consultation, proactive trouble shooting and the installation of new projectors and mobile projection systems.
Nick Utber has an outstanding knowledge of the AV industry and is very well respected by his peers. His team of AV technicians that we have worked with all provide the same high level of integrity and great customer service.
We highly value our partnership with OBT as we continue to work and deliver our service philosophy of ‘above and beyond’. I would recommend OBT with confidence.

“Your kind of service is rare these days”

Nick, you were amazing on Saturday night at the Carols on the Colonnade!

Thank you for the generosity of your time and enthusiasm. As you know, I was very anxious as to the quality and experience of the guests. You allayed my concerns with your positive attitude and ‘all good’ approach.

Thank you, your kind of service is rare these days.

I so value what you contributed to our purchase of a Sound System and will look forward to working with you in the future.

“The kind of consultants you want in your corner”

Open Box Technology has done two things for Barneys. Firstly, they have stopped us from repeatedly making dumb, reactive - and, ultimately, costly - decisions, by helping us to develop a single vision for the integrated use of enabling technologies across ministries, without redundancy or false economies. Secondly, they have equipped Barneys volunteers to use our technology to the best of its capacity and rescued us when needed.

Open Box has a great passion for Christian organisations to be as effective as possible. They are practical about our financial realities. Open Box Technology is efficient, honest and hard-working: the kind of consultants you want in your corner.

“Clear communication, integrity and honesty”

I have had the privilege of knowing Nick Utber (Open Box Technology, Owner) during the past couple of years. During this time, we have worked together on a number of projects in a range of situations. Nick has shown himself to be a very competent audio engineer across a variety of projects ranging from large outdoor events to small indoor gatherings. He is a good planner, wanting to ensure that all necessary equipment and personnel are in place in order to achieve a desired outcome.

In addition, I have observed Nick present several training courses. He is able to communicate clearly, understand the competence level of those in the group and answers questions to the satisfaction of the target group. On a personal level, I know Nick to be a person of integrity and honesty. I warmly commend Nick to anyone requiring expertise in the areas mentioned above.

It’s a relationship

We really value our relationship OBT because it is just that—a relationship. They listen to our challenges and desires and help manufacture solutions that don't break the bank and can be implemented in a relatively short space of time.
