Challenge

Fitting multiple immersive experiences into a venue not originally designed for them.

Each activation required its own technical setup, scenic treatment and visitor flow, while still feeling part of one connected event. The venue layout, access and production requirements demanded careful planning across every area.

Each activation required its own technical setup, scenic treatment and visitor flow, while still feeling part of one connected event. The venue layout, access and production requirements demanded careful planning across every area.

Solution

A fully integrated approach across technical production, fabrication and scenic design.

Each pod was built around the needs of the experience, combining in-house fabrication, branded scenic elements, lighting, audio, video and interactive production. Site-wide systems helped create a consistent visitor journey across the full event.
