One of the standout features of the InterContinental / Lagos Continental is its Grand African Ballroom and several meeting halls. Below is a breakdown:

Key Points for Production Setup at InterContinental Lagos Hall

• The ballroom is column-free, which is excellent for sightlines and staging
• The ceiling height (8 m) allows for rigging of lighting trusses, LED walls, projector screens
• There are built-in projection / AV conduits, LAN drops, possibly ceiling speakers
• Service corridors and backstage infrastructure allow movement of heavy gear

5. Typical Pricing & Cost Factors of InterContinental Lagos Hall

While hotels seldom publish standard fixed rates for hiring halls (since costs vary by event date, duration, food & beverage, technical add-ons), here’s what you should expect and how to negotiate.

Price Range Estimate at InterContinental Lagos Hall (2025)

• Venue Hire (hall only, dry hire): Expect a base hall hire fee ranging from USD $5,000 to $15,000 (or its Naira equivalent) depending on duration, day of week, and time (peak vs off-peak).
• Catering / Food & Beverage: This usually forms the largest portion of the budget. Hotels require you to use their in-house catering or their approved partners, with per-person menu pricing (Naira/USD) based on menu level (silver, gold, premium).
• Technical / AV Charges: Built-in AV (sound, projectors, screens) is often included partially, but additional charges apply for extras: more speakers, video walls, lighting rigs, LED panels, backstage monitors.
• Internet / Connectivity: Dedicated bandwidth (e.g. fiber / leased line, redundant internet) is often extra. You may have to pay for a guaranteed internet line for streaming.
• Power, Load-in, Security, Staffing: Extra costs for generator backup, security personnel, riggers and stagehands, overtime.

Negotiation Tips for InterContinental Lagos Hall

1. Always ask for the “RFP with AV / Technical riders” and ensure it includes a “tech addendum” for your own equipment.
2. Ask for bundled quotes: hall + catering + minimal AV, then layer your G6Image production services (so you don’t duplicate).
3. Request a “soft hold” reserve the hall provisionally for a few days while you firm up clients.
4. Consider off-peak days (e.g. midweek) which often yield discounts.
5. Confirm whether rental is “dry hire” (no food) or “wet hire” (you must take their catering).

6. Past Events At InterContinental Lagos Hall

InterContinental Lagos / Lagos Continental has hosted many high-profile events such as:

• Large corporate conferences, product launches, seminars
• Award ceremonies, gala dinners, fundraisers
• Trade shows (in adjacent convention spaces)

Because it is physically co-located with Lagos Convention Centre, many expo events spill over to this hotel’s ballrooms for main ceremonies. The hotel also supports international delegations and media presence.

8. Venue Strengths & Challenges For Event Production at InterContinental Lagos Hall

• Column-free ballroom, suitable for large staging & sightlines
• High ceiling allowance for lighting / truss rigs
• Existing AV infrastructure (projectors, ceiling screens, audio)
• Proximity to convention center and ease of guest flow
• Luxury ambiance helps clients present premium image

Challenges & Potential Pain Points

1. Internet Connectivity / Bandwidth
   • The hotel’s standard WiFi may not suffice for high-bandwidth streaming or multi-camera live broadcast
   • You may need to negotiate a dedicated fiber / redundant leased line for streaming
2. Lighting Conditions
   • Fixed house lighting may not adapt to dramatic stage lighting needs; ceilings and prefunction areas may have low ambient light
   • Rigging points may be limited; coordinate early for special lighting trusses
3. Power Constraints
   • Load on circuits must be pre-approved to avoid tripping; backup generator arrangements may be charged
4. Vendor Access / Time Windows
   • Load-in/load-out windows are tight; outside hours may attract surcharges
   • Coordination with in-house AV / hotel technicians may require pre-briefing
5. Coordination Complexity
   • Multiple departments (banquet, AV, food & beverage, security) you must map interdepartmental workflows early

Because G6Image routinely handles these complexities, partnering with us means we absorb much of the technical risk and coordination burden, letting you focus on content, speakers, guest experience, and promotion.

9. Tips for Organizers Booking InterContinental Lagos Hall

Here are actionable tips to maximize success:

1. Site Visit & Technical Walkthrough

• Visit ahead of time to mark camera locations, sightlines, lighting fixtures, rigging points
• Bring your production team (G6Image or internal) to walk the routing, power, truss plans

2. Test AV / Internet Late Night or Off-Peak

• Request a test day (e.g. evening before, or early morning) to run cameras, lighting, streaming line
• Ensure hotel IT / engineering teams support your test

3. Insist on Redundant Internet / Failover Line

• Ask hotel to provide a dedicated line (e.g. 100 Mbps fiber) with backup
• Bring your own 4G/5G backup as fallback

4. Request Detailed Technical Rider / Load-in Schedule

• Ask hotel for technical constraints (floor loading, weight limits, ceiling rigging)
• Share your equipment list well in advance

5. Stagger Deliveries

• Because parking and docking are limited, schedule marquee, truss, LED, etc., in shifts
• Off-peak hours (late night / early morning) may be easier

6. Power & Generator Planning

• Confirm that the hall’s power circuits are sufficient for your lighting + video + LED load
• Negotiate generator backup services from hotel or bring external UPS / generator

7. Pre-Coordinate with Hotel AV Staff

• Meet their AV department to align on microphone counts, stage monitors, patching
• Clarify who supplies patch cables, video breaks, etc.

8. Plan for Delays & Contingencies

• Build buffer time in your schedule for technical fails
• Always have spare cables, connectors, power equipment

9. Branding / Banners / Signage Permissions

• Get hotel sign approval early (size, locations, heights)
• Confirm rigging points for banners or screens

10. Post-Event Removal / Strike Timing

• Understand hotel’s cutoff times for dismantling
• Apply to extend teardown window if needed (with cost)
