As we shake, rattle and roar into the 20s, it’s always good to be in the know when you’re a trend setter (which we obviously are at Cameron). With that in mind, it’s time for us to grab an oat milk latte and a vegan steak bake, park our collective posteriors on a bunch of Brando armchairs and talk 2020 event trends.
Happy hour, every hour. That’s how we’d sum up Evolution 19, Inverarity Morton’s experience-led event for on-trade professionals. Hosted by Scotland’s leading wine and spirits wholesaler, it was an immersive showcase of the finest brand activations and live demos the drinks industry has to offer…
Have you ever heard an entire venue full of people singing along to show-tunes, at the top of their lungs and with varying degrees of tunefulness?…Yeah, we hadn’t either. Mass karaoke is a thing, and it’s just as extra as it sounds…
A stone’s throw from Finnieston, and just a short stroll down Eastvale Place, you’ll find the striking railway arches of SWG3 – a studio warehouse and multi-disciplinary arts/gig venue. From its industrial roots, SWG3 has grown over the past 15 years into a cultural hub…
Wander through the Candleriggs area of Merchant City, and you’ll stumble upon The Old Fruitmarket – an absolute gem tucked in beside Glasgow’s City Halls. This unique venue began life in the 12th century as, you guessed it, a wholesale fruit market…
There are few things we love more than a good theme. And the 2019 Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce Business Awards had a great one … Growth … A simple but powerful word which reflects Scotland’s thriving business landscape. And not only that – it also sums up the success of the awards themselves…
The best events are innovative, immersive and unforgettable. #GFF19 definitely delivered. In 1999, The Blair Witch Project revitalised the horror genre with its found footage motif and vérité style. Even by today’s standards, it’s widely regarded as one of the scariest films of all time…
Sunday 24 February saw the explosive, celeb-filled launch of BBC Scotland’s new channel. The channel will offer hundreds of hours of Scottish drama and comedy, each reflecting (and probably parodying) Scottish life. You can also expect to see international, UK and Scottish news stories…
We love disruption. Not the kind of disruption that makes you late for work or distracts you from your Netflix box set. The kind that makes you check yourself and be thankful that you’ve witnessed something unique, surprising and special…
Question: How do I elevate my event this year? Answer: Theming! Choosing the perfect theme is key to a knock-out event. Why? Because themes have the power to create buzz, draw a crowd, and set the right tone…
We’ve already scoffed 6 advent calendar chocolates, we’re listening to Christmas music on repeat, and, as per tradition, we’re still in denial about our Christmas shopping. That can only mean one thing: the countdown to December 25th is well and truly on!…
Musical events and their impact are often determined by scale. Huge lighting rigs, walls of LED screens and elaborate sets. David Byrne’s performance at the SSE Hydro, Glasgow, was anything but. He dug up this formula and planted his own unique concoction of innovation, understatement and guile…
Business is well and truly booming in Dundee. With a history of innovation and creativity, a thriving economic environment, and an abundance of opportunities for businesses across all sectors – the city is going from strength to strength…
Bored of Brexit? Tired of Theresa? Terrified to turn on the news?…Yeah, we know those feels. But, oddly enough, The Festival of Politics at The Scottish Parliament last week was the perfect antidote to our political blues. Now in its 14th year, the festival is designed to provoke and inspire people of all ages…
While hotel ballrooms, boardrooms and conference suites were once the go-to venues for events, more and more event creators are seeking out unique and unexpected spaces in order to set themselves apart from the competition. And we’re glad!…
I started working at Cameron 5 years ago as Stores Manager, working my way up to Hire Manager – overseeing the logistics and operational workings of the furniture hire process. But my route to Cameron started 16 years ago, when I kicked off my career in the events industry…
I started working for Cameron straight from Strathclyde Uni, back in the days of the Glasgow Garden Festival. We had bought a video wall from Cameron for the university pavilion, and it was my job to write the programme, install and look after the wall for the duration of the festival…
With the long September Weekend upon us, we’re spoiled for choice for things to do and events to attend in Glasgow. So we’ve come up with a few suggestions to get you started, because we’re nice like that…
If you’re already planning an event for next year, or just want to be ahead of the curve this year, then don’t fret – we’re here to help! As slaves to trends, it’s our business to look ahead at what’s in the mix for the coming year and share it with you good, good people…
Ever since Barack Obama stepped into the spotlight during his first presidential campaign, he’s been known as an exceptional public speaker. (An ability which jars remarkably with that of his successor. But we’ll try not to dwell on that.)…
Virtual reality has only recently come into the spotlight. So it might surprise you to know that the first documented VR headset dates back to 1968. Unlike today’s streamlined headsets, this one was suspended from the ceiling…
This is only my third job in 28 years – which isn’t very many by today’s standards! I first met Chris Cameron Snr in 1991, when I worked in the Commercial Department at Rangers Football Club. Chris Snr and his then associate, John Williams, began producing videos for the club…
At Cameron, we don’t believe in standing still. From our early days in sound engineering, through to distribution and AV hire, and finally bespoke event production—we’ve always changed with the times…
“Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team.” (Steve Jobs said that, but we’re pinching it.) The whole Cameron gang were at The Arches on Friday for a bit of team-building…
