A Southampton-based business has given a boost to a Hampshire comic con event.
Aura Technology provided innovative tech support for the Portsmouth Comic Con International Festival of Comics, held May 11-12 at Portsmouth Guildhall.
Aura Technology ensured attendees' experiences were enhanced through comprehensive tech support. More than 10,000 individuals attended the event.
Nick Coles, events director and support services manager at Portsmouth Guildhall Trust, said at the time: "Portsmouth Comic Con International Festival of comics brings visitors the best in comics, film, TV and pop culture entertainment.
"We also welcomed some of the greatest writers and illustrators in the industry, alongside stars of the screen and of course the wonderful world of cosplay. With discussion panels, displays, exhibitions, gaming, VR, steampunk and an incredible range of merchandise and collectables, if you’re serious about comics, love Marvel/DC and cult series, or you’re simply looking for a fun day out for all the family, this is the event for you!"
"We are cash free, so all traders need good Wi-Fi for their card readers. We also rely on live social media so we can promote the event across both days.
"Aura has been responsible for our tech support for over six years, and they are always reliable,” continues Nick. “Their fantastic knowledge of our needs and of the technology available means this is one less worry for the event team. And with an event like Comic Con, glitch-free internet connectivity is vital."
David Graham, Aura Technology’s account manager for Portsmouth Guildhall Trust, said: "The Guildhall Trust is always fantastically ambitious with its events, and never more so than with Comic Con. There were a lot of people coming through the door and a lot of sellers who needed decent Wi-Fi to enable people to use their card readers.
"It’s also an international event, with people Facetiming and calling each other across the world. We knew Starlink was the right service – it’s reliable and super quick. We’re always on hand to make sure our customers have a seamless experience and the right solution for their challenges."
