Discover Hoffmann
Discover Hoffmann
Technology and innovation for the success of your event.
Hoffmann was born in Rio de Janeiro in 1983 and grew alongside Brazil's large-event market, often paving the way for it. We were the technology behind Rio-92, which brought together 114 heads of state; the Papal Mass for 2 million people; the Rio 2016 Olympics ceremonies; and, more recently, the G20 Summit and COP-30, where we operated 44 rooms, 2 plenaries and every official meeting.
Today, we are 150+ direct employees, with our own operations in 6 state capitals, 2 technical and logistics centers, and a permanent presence inside the leading hotels of Brazil's major cities. When an event cannot fail, it is Hoffmann at the controls.
Purpose
Our purpose is what drives us
Constant innovation
From pioneers of simultaneous interpretation in Brazil to hybrid broadcasting and next-generation LED walls: we invest in technology before it becomes a trend.
True partnership
Hoffmann clients renew for decades: over 40 years alongside the UN, TV Globo and the country's largest hotel chains. We arrive as a vendor and stay as a technical partner.
Excellence in the details
At the 75th INTERPOL General Assembly, high winds shut down the venue hours before opening. We rebuilt the entire infrastructure at another address in 7 hours. That is the standard we bring to every room of every event.
Across our stages
Where history takes the stage
Four decades bringing sound and image to presidents, statesmen and global icons.
