ITP Aero

This production was delivered as Castelein AV — the same team that now operates internationally as First Impact.

ITP Aero manufactures propulsion systems for commercial and military aircraft. Their Querétaro plant operates under aeronautical-grade industrial safety protocols — not the kind of environment you walk a production crew into without pre-approving every cable run and rigging position.

The event was the company's annual "All Hands": eight members of the executive leadership team on stage, addressing more than 1,500 employees simultaneously across four countries — Spain, Mexico, the United Kingdom, and India — connected through a single Microsoft Teams session, while 125 colleagues attended in the room.

The production had to deliver broadcast-grade signal to the room and a clean feed to Teams, mic all eight speakers without incident, and execute every transition under safety conditions that assumed the worst if anything went wrong on the plant floor. Turnkey: one team, one brief.

First Impact was hired to deliver five non-negotiable outcomes: a unified hybrid experience with no perceptible gap between the 125 people in the room and the 1,500+ watching remotely; Microsoft Teams integrated as a native, cut-ready production source; uninterrupted continuity across all eight executive presentations; full compliance with ITP Aero's safety standards from load-in to strike; and a single team accountable for AV, staging, streaming and furnishings.

Six factors made this different from a standard corporate event: aeronautical-grade safety protocols governing every phase, 1,500+ remote participants across four countries on one Teams session, zero tolerance for interruption during any of the eight leadership presentations, Teams feeds that had to behave as a native production source rather than a passive viewer, no on-site carpentry permitted on the plant floor, and a high volume of branded content and live camera feeds running through the same signal chain without collision.
