Evolution Scenic main forum stage with custom backdrop walls and access steps.

Data-focused forums require event environments that make complex information easier to understand while still supporting presentations, workshops, networking and audience movement. For the Abu Dhabi Tourism & Data Analytics Forum, hosted by the Department of Culture and Tourism, Evolution delivered a coordinated scenic and branding package designed around both formal programme content and interactive data presentation.


The scope included a main forum stage, branded workshop and keynote areas, a Tourism Data Lab, bespoke infographic walls, presentation booths, networking zones and custom wayfinding. Together, these elements created a clear and visually consistent environment for industry professionals exploring data-driven trends and innovation within Abu Dhabi’s tourism sector.

The Challenge


The forum needed to support several different event functions while maintaining one cohesive visual identity.


The main programme required a professional stage for keynote speeches and panel discussions, while separate workshop areas needed to facilitate more focused and interactive sessions.


A further challenge was presenting tourism data in a way that felt accessible and visually engaging. The Tourism Data Lab, infographic walls and branded booths needed to communicate information clearly without making the environment feel overly technical or visually fragmented.


Networking and wayfinding also had to be integrated into the scenic package so that attendees could move easily between the different forum areas.

The Solution


Evolution developed and installed a coordinated series of scenic and branded environments across the venue.


The main forum space was built around a high-end stage setup with custom scenic elements aligned to the event branding, providing a focal point for keynote presentations and panel discussions.


Branded workshop and keynote areas were also created with tailored backdrops, signage and digital integration to support interactive sessions.


For the Tourism Data Lab, Evolution produced bespoke infographic walls and branded presentation booths to create a more immersive way of communicating key tourism data and insights.


Dedicated networking zones were fabricated with custom scenic branding, providing clearly defined areas for stakeholder discussion and informal engagement.


Custom signage and pathfinding elements were installed throughout the venue to support navigation and connect the different event spaces into one coherent guest journey.
