Experience the electrifying allure of “Red Haute Glammies,” where Tropic Skincare transformed Birmingham’s Resorts World Arena into a dazzling spectacle of glamour and excitement.
This annual gathering, which welcomed 4,200 of Tropic’s most vibrant “Glambassadors,” was a fusion of product launches, inspirational speeches, recognition ceremonies, and an unforgettable evening gala.
The atmosphere crackled with energy as live performances by Sydnie Christmas and the House Gospel Choir, along with a fiery DJ set, kept the crowd dancing and celebrating throughout the night.
CPL, working closely with the event producers, Pandora Events, orchestrated this immersive production with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every element resonated with the theme of “Red Haute.” Under the expert guidance of project manager Lee Gruszeckyj, a dedicated team of around 40 crew members worked tirelessly over four days—two for setup and two for rehearsals—to create a stunning, super sexy environment that radiated glitz and positivity.
The Glammies 2024 was not just an event but a spectacle, brought to life with a custom-designed, multi-tiered stage. Our team installed a striking high-gloss vinyl finish that not only looked stunning but also provided the perfect reflective surface for the dazzling lights. The tiered structure allowed for dynamic performances and presentations, ensuring every award recipient shone as bright as their achievements.
To share the excitement with a global audience, we streamed the event live. The multi-camera setup captured every moment, from the red carpet arrivals to the emotional award speeches. Our technical crew managed a seamless broadcast, integrating live footage with pre-recorded segments and on-screen graphics that kept the audience engaged.
Before installation of our ROE CB5 LED, the venue was assessed to determine the best positioning for the panels, taking into account factors like sightlines, audience capacity, and ambient lighting. The desired layout of the LED wall was designed, which comprised of over 500 panels. Brompton SX40 processors were connected to the LED panels via Brompton XD Boxes. The signal path was meticulously planned to ensure efficient routing and minimize latency. A redundant fiber loop was established to connect the LED panels to the SX40 processors. This loop provides a backup signal path in case of primary path failure, ensuring uninterrupted display performance.
The lighting design featured over 300 fixtures—including Ayrton Perseos, Robe beams, Lite Panels Gemini 2x1s and ETC Coloursource Spots—creating an immersive experience filled with colour and movement that transformed the venue into a radiant wonderland. The audio experience was equally impressive, anchored by a robust L-Acoustics K2 sound system that enveloped attendees in crystal-clear sound. The acoustics were fine-tuned to perfection using Sound Vision technology, ensuring that every note resonated beautifully throughout the arena.
Presenters were equipped with Shure Axient microphones and DPA headset mics for seamless communication. The event ignited with an exhilarating 10-minute megamix that set the tone for an unforgettable evening.

None of this would have been possible without our dedicated technical team. From weeks of meticulous planning to the final live stream, their expertise and attention to detail ensured the Glammies was a flawless success. Their work behind the scenes allowed Tropic Skincare’s stars to shine bright on stage and online.
In summary, CPL’s production for Tropic Skincare’s “Red Haute Glammies” was more than just an event; it was a breathtaking celebration of creativity and community that left attendees buzzing with energy and eager for what’s next. This dazzling spectacle truly encapsulated the essence of glamour and excitement in every moment
