For the third consecutive year, Accelya partnered with First Sight Media and Distant Object to deliver their annual GTM Summit. The two-day event brought together Go To Market and Product Subject Matter Experts from across the business to share Accelya’s FY26 roadmap, align on priorities, and connect as a global team.

The first day concluded with an awards ceremony celebrating individual and team achievements, providing a formal close to the day and recognising the people behind Accelya’s success.

First Sight Media delivered full production services throughout the summit, allowing Accelya’s teams to focus on their people, content, and objectives - not the technical delivery.

The Challenge

The summit required seamless delivery across multiple presentations, live audience interaction, and evolving on-the-day requirements. Accelya needed a production partner who could take full ownership of the technical delivery and ensure consistency, reliability, and professionalism throughout.

Our Solution

Working in partnership with Distant Object, First Sight Media managed all aspects of event production from planning through to delivery. By integrating robust technology with experienced technical oversight, we ensured the event ran smoothly while maintaining a polished, on-brand experience.

Our focus was simple: remove technical difficulties so presenters and attendees could concentrate fully on the content.

Production included:

• Audio & Visuals: Clear sound and dynamic lighting, including uplighters to enhance the room environment
• Stage Design & Set Assembly: A custom 6m printed stage set with a bespoke halo logo
• Multi-Camera Coverage: Ensuring all speakers were clearly visible from every angle
• Audience Experience: Six strategically positioned screens providing clear sightlines for all attendees
• Presenter Support: Comfort monitors, countdown timers, and real-time slide updates
• Presentation Management: Seamless slide handling and live audience interaction via Slido

By managing every technical detail, we enabled presenters to deliver with confidence and focus.

The Outcome

• Two engaging summit days that aligned global teams around shared goals
• A smooth, stress-free experience for presenters, organisers, and attendee
• A polished awards ceremony recognising outstanding performance

"As always, the team at First Sight Media were flawless professionals, ensuring that I, as the show producer, had nothing to worry about. I knew everything would be executed perfectly!" – Jo Stewart, Senior Vice President, Talent and Enablement, Accelya.

Conclusion

Full production isn’t about adding complexity - it’s about removing it. By taking responsibility for every technical element, First Sight Media allowed Accelya to focus on what mattered most: clear communication, meaningful connection, and a well-executed event.
