I am not an event photographer, but like any of you I enjoy shooting events I participate in. Let me show what I use to get studio-like lighting in any regular size room (for a bigger ceilings, 30 and more feet it won’t work that good).

With only one flash attached, even if used with light diffuser, you can’t have good light spread. The best you will get in a relatively large room is a flat looking model and some shadow behind.

Much better results will be by using 2 light sources:
