With a consolidated track record as an AV partner offering cutting-edge audiovisual solutions at international events (Mobile World Congress, VMworld, etc.), at KubeCon 2025 we brought into play all our technical, strategic and creative capacity thanks to our experience in technical audiovisual production.
At the previous edition in Paris (KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe 2024), together with Novelty Paris and Groupe Novelty, we proved that is more than just a supplier: we are a strategic partner for major events to shine at the highest level with comprehensive AV solutions adapted to the specific needs of each event space.
The technical complexity of KubeCon + CloudNativeCon required careful planning and appropriate AV services for each space.

20 x Ayrton Rivale + 46 x Robe Tarrantula - for textures and audience washes
8 x Martin MAC Aura XIP - scenic backlighting.
10 x Chauvet Color Strike - reinforcement lighting for the public.
10 x Ayrton Rivale + 22 x Robe Tetra (on the floor) - for texture effects and enhancement of decorative elements.

The result? A plenary able to excite, inspire and connect with each attendee, in person or remotely. As Matt O'Donnell, President of Tantalus Productions, confirmed: "Novelty Spain has yet again, been an outstanding partner for our largest and most technically demanding annual event. It has been 6 great years of collaboration. We produce over 30 events a year across the globe. I can always trust the Novelty Spain team, led by Gonzalo Mascheroni, to have every technical and creative detail in hand; so that when myself and my team arrive, the show is already primed for success.
Novelty Spain has grown with us, and the needs of my team and our client over the past 6 years as this event has grown from a few thousand to over 12,000 attendees, over multiple days, and large meeting spaces with very specific technological needs.
Novelty Spain always delivers on time, on spec and on budget. We look forward to many more years of collaboration and successful events. Thank you Novelty Spain for another great year."
