Good to know

Questions, answered.

Do you supply gaming PCs or consoles?

Players or organizers usually bring hardware; we focus on the stage, screens and broadcast. Ask us about rental options.

Which platforms can you stream to?

Any major platform — Twitch, YouTube, Kick and more — through the control room.

Can you build our stream overlays?

Our team can run overlays and graphics you provide, or help design them as part of your proposal.

How far ahead should we book?

Most events book 4–8 weeks out; larger builds benefit from more lead time. Short-notice dates are possible when the calendar is open.

Is parking available?

Yes — the building has on-site parking, and we'll share arrival details with your guests' info pack.
