The Fullerton Hotel Sydney is set to install what it says will be Australia’s largest permanent hotel LED screen as part of a multimillion-dollar AV upgrade across its event spaces.
From 1 September 2026, the hotel will remove projectors and portable screens from its event-floor inventory, replacing them with permanent and modular LED displays across ballrooms and meeting rooms at No.1 Martin Place. AVPartners will operate technical and creative event services across the property.
The largest element of the rollout will be installed in the Grand Ballroom, described as the largest pillarless hotel ballroom in Sydney. The space can host up to 1,000 guests in banquet format or 1,400 in theatre style, and can be divided into four sections.
From September, the ballroom will feature more than 190 sq m of LED, including a 33m by 4m track-mounted screen that can reconfigure from one ultra-wide canvas into multiple independent displays. The hotel said this will be the largest permanent LED installation in any hotel ballroom in Australia.
Other event spaces will also receive LED upgrades. The Heritage Ballroom will be fitted with two motorised 3.6m by 2.2m LED screens that can join to form a single ultra-wide display. The Barnet Room will receive joinable mobile LED screens, while standard meeting rooms will be equipped with permanent wall-mounted LED.
The upgrade also includes AI-enabled production cameras, 4K vision processing, lighting and audio systems across event and pre-function spaces, and touchscreen room controllers in every space with a direct support line to AVPartners and banqueting teams.
The Grand Ballroom will also feature more than 150 kinetic orb lights and an evenly distributed PA system.
AVPartners said the installation will allow organisers to move more quickly between event formats, reducing the need for traditional bump-in and reset periods.
Andrew Hackett, managing partner at AVPartners, said: “We can run a plenary session in the Grand Ballroom in the morning, split the room into separate meeting spaces over morning tea, reset for lunch, hold breakouts through the afternoon, and reconfigure for a gala dinner that night, all in the same room.”
Teresa Amey, area partner NSW at AVPartners, said: “Twenty-five years on, the Grand Ballroom remains one of Sydney's most significant event spaces and is now redefined with the technology to match.”
John O’Shea, general manager at The Fullerton Hotel Sydney, said the partnership with AVPartners would support the hotel’s events offering across its Grand Ballroom and meeting spaces.
