In May 2024, the University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University joined forces to host the Inter-Institutional Forum of the Scarborough Charter, an important event addressing anti-Black racism and Black inclusion in Canadian higher education.
Pynx Pro was honoured to provide comprehensive audiovisual (AV) support for this impactful conference, held at Lazaridis Hall, Wilfrid Laurier University.
The forum comprised multiple stages, each serving a unique purpose. Pynx Pro was tasked with providing seamless AV solutions for both the Lazaridis Hall Auditorium and the Lazaridis Atrium, ensuring that all presentations and performances were delivered with clarity and impact.

Our video production team was on hand to capture some key moments from the event to create a highlight reel.
For the main presentations in the Auditorium, Pynx Pro implemented an integrated AV system that combined cutting-edge audio and video technology. Using an Allen & Heath SQ5 Digital Mixing Console and a range of Sennheiser microphones, our skilled technicians expertly mixed sound to enhance the speakers’ messages. Video presentations were flawlessly coordinated with a Roland V-160HD Streaming Video Switcher, while ADJ encore lights illuminated the stage with precision and elegance.

Pynx Pro’s AV solutions elevated the atmosphere, ensuring that every attendee experienced crystal-clear audio and stunning visuals, fostering an environment conducive to learning and collaboration.
In addition to the main presentations, the Lazaridis Atrium served as a vibrant space for entertainment and cultural performances.
The massive Atrium space provided a challenge for our sound technicians, due to the high ceilings and concrete structure. Our AV technicians seamlessly managed audiovisual elements, ensuring that each musical performance resonated with energy and enthusiasm.
Pynx Pro transformed this area into a dynamic stage, complete with RCF line array speakers, subwoofers, and a custom set design.
Our team made sure the sound system was strategically positioned and configured to avoid any interference with concurrent presentations happening throughout the building.
The Lazaridis Atrium is stunning, with its amazing architecture setting the stage for a range of events. It’s got plenty of room and can be set up in different ways, making it perfect for everything from performances to gatherings. Attendees are sure to have a great time in this versatile and memorable space!
