Celebrating achievements through live experiences requires more than visual decoration. The environment must communicate the event’s purpose while giving guests meaningful opportunities to explore, participate and connect.

On 28 August 2019, ADNOC hosted its Emirati Women’s Day celebration at Manarat Al Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi. Centred on the theme Create, Communicate, Collaborate, the event recognised the personal and professional contributions of Emirati women.

More than 1,000 guests attended, including members of ADNOC’s senior management. Evolution Scenic designed and delivered an immersive environment comprising a custom employee gallery, a replica ADNOC petrol station and multiple interactive activations.

The Challenge

The event needed to recognise the diverse achievements of Emirati women while creating an identity distinct from ADNOC’s traditional corporate branding.

With more than 1,000 attendees, the environment had to support a significant audience and encourage participation across several experiential areas. Interactive quizzes, workshops, social-media engagement and photography opportunities all needed to function within one cohesive layout.

The scenic treatment also needed to balance celebration, storytelling and brand recognition. It had to feel vibrant and playful while remaining appropriate for ADNOC and its senior guests.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic designed and built a custom gallery presenting the personal hobbies of ADNOC employees. The installation highlighted interests and achievements beyond the workplace, giving the event’s central theme a personal and relatable expression.

A replica of an ADNOC petrol station was fabricated as the principal scenic centrepiece. The recognisable structure connected the activation to ADNOC’s identity while being reinterpreted as an engaging feature within the celebration.

Multiple experiential areas were created across the venue. These included interactive quizzes, workshop spaces, a social-media engagement wall and dedicated photography opportunities, giving attendees different ways to participate in the programme.

Playful branded details extended the visual identity throughout the environment. Floor stickers, mirror decals and customised event items, including branded ice-cream cups, reinforced the event theme and connected the larger scenic installations with smaller guest touchpoints.

Annual celebrations require a scenic approach that can evolve with each edition while maintaining continuity with the organisation’s identity and values. On 28 August 2023, ADNOC celebrated Emirati Women’s Day at the Abu Dhabi Energy Center and Al Dhannah under the theme We Collaborate for Tomorrow.

The event honoured the contributions of Emirati women within ADNOC and the wider community, creating opportunities for empowerment, networking and collaboration through a curated programme of activities.

For the fourth consecutive year, Evolution Scenic was selected to design and fabricate the event’s scenic elements. The delivery included stage backdrops, interactive installations, workshop environments, thematic food and beverage stations and sustainable scenic materials.

The Challenge

The scenic environment needed to communicate the We Collaborate for Tomorrow theme while supporting the professional, cultural and participatory dimensions of the event.

Delivery across the Abu Dhabi Energy Center and Al Dhannah required a consistent creative approach across two locations. Stage environments, interactive features, workshops and hospitality areas all needed to feel connected while fulfilling different functions.

The project also needed to reflect Emirati heritage and support ADNOC’s sustainability initiatives without compromising the quality, elegance or durability of the scenic finish.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic designed and produced stage backdrops and scenic installations that established an inspiring and professional setting for the event programme.

Interactive features, including photo booths and decorative panels, were fabricated to encourage guest participation. These installations introduced more informal engagement opportunities alongside the event’s stage content and networking activities.

For the Bead of Excellence workshop, Evolution Scenic created custom scenic elements incorporating materials that reflected Emirati heritage. The workshop environment connected the activity with the wider cultural purpose of Emirati Women’s Day.

Thematic food and beverage stations were also designed and built as part of the scenic environment. Their visual treatment supported the event’s storytelling and extended the theme into the hospitality experience.

Eco-friendly materials were used across the scenic delivery in alignment with ADNOC’s sustainability initiatives.

By combining cultural references, sustainable materials and functional scenic design, Evolution Scenic created an engaging environment that supported ADNOC’s message of collaboration, empowerment and future-focused progress.

High-profile financial launches require event environments that communicate authority, clarity and international significance without distracting from the importance of the occasion. For the launch of ICE Futures Abu Dhabi at ADGM on 29 March 2021, Evolution Scenic delivered a refined scenic environment centred around a bespoke stage, branded backdrop and premium finishes.

The launch marked a significant milestone in crude oil futures trading based on ADNOC’s flagship Murban crude and brought together ADNOC, ICE, ADGM and nine global energy partners. Evolution Scenic’s role was to ensure the physical event setting reflected the scale and importance of the launch through precise scenic fabrication and a cohesive branded treatment.

The Challenge

The event required a visually strong but highly professional setting suitable for an international financial and energy-sector audience.

The scenic environment needed to align with the identities of both ICE and ADNOC while also complementing the architecture of the ADGM venue.

Because the launch represented an important commercial milestone, the stage, backdrop and surrounding scenic components needed to feel polished, precise and premium, with no visual inconsistency between branding, materials or finishes.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic designed and fabricated a custom stage and backdrop tailored to the event branding and the surrounding venue environment.

The scenic treatment incorporated ICE and ADNOC branding prominently while maintaining a clean and sophisticated visual language appropriate to the nature of the launch.

Premium materials and finishes were applied across the fabricated elements to create a refined and professional appearance.

The stage and backdrop were developed as a coordinated composition so that branding, proportions and scenic finishes worked together as one visual environment rather than as separate components.

Through careful fabrication and detailing, Evolution Scenic created a setting that supported the formal nature of the event while reinforcing the importance of the ICE Futures Abu Dhabi launch.

Urban planning forums need environments that can support strategic discussion, collaborative problem-solving and future-focused thinking across multiple programme formats. For the Plan Capital Plenary Session and Workshop in Abu Dhabi, Evolution Scenic delivered scenic and technical solutions designed to transform several venue spaces into functional and visually connected environments.

Hosted by the Department of Urban Planning and Municipalities, the event focused on urban innovation and long-term strategies for the next 10–15 years. Evolution Scenic’s scope included a main plenary stage, a dedicated Innovation Hub, 14 customised workshop setups, scenic backdrops, modular partitions, workshop furniture and AVL support.

The Challenge

The event required several different programme environments to operate within one coordinated venue.

The primary ballroom needed to support plenary sessions and large-format presentations, while also incorporating an Innovation Hub for collaborative brainstorming and ideation.

A second ballroom required 14 separate workshop environments capable of supporting smaller group discussions and solution-focused activity.

The challenge was to create clear functional zones without making the overall event feel fragmented, while also integrating scenic, furniture and technical requirements across the different spaces.

The delivery programme was tight, placing additional pressure on fabrication, fit-out and installation sequencing.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic developed a coordinated multi-zone scenic package tailored to the event programme.

A visually dynamic main stage was fabricated within the primary ballroom, incorporating custom scenic elements aligned with the future-focused character of the event.

The same space also included an Innovation Hub designed to support collaborative thinking, brainstorming and group interaction.

In the secondary ballroom, 14 customised workshop setups were constructed and installed to provide dedicated environments for smaller group sessions.

Stage backdrops, modular partition walls and workshop furnishings were incorporated across the venue to help define the individual programme zones while maintaining a consistent visual language.

AVL support was also coordinated as part of the wider delivery, ensuring presentations and technical content could operate effectively within the scenic environment.

Delivery Highlights

• Scenic production for the Plan Capital Plenary Session and Workshop.

• Event hosted by the Department of Urban Planning and Municipalities.

Technology competitions require event environments that feel visually aligned with innovation while still supporting live presentations, participant activity and audience engagement. For the CyTaka World Cyber Championship in Dubai, Evolution Scenic delivered a futuristic scenic environment for an international live hacking competition bringing together coders from around the world.

Working on the event for the second consecutive year, Evolution Scenic delivered the stage, branded scenic elements, podiums, lightbox signage and other bespoke features within an exceptionally compressed programme. With less than one day available for build-up, the project required highly coordinated fabrication, logistics and installation to ensure the venue was fully prepared for the competition.

The Challenge

The CyTaka World Cyber Championship required a visually distinctive environment capable of reflecting the high-tech nature of the competition while supporting a demanding live event programme.

The scenic treatment needed to establish a futuristic visual identity across the stage, branding and supporting event features.

The main challenge was the installation programme. With less than one day available for build-up, scenic elements had to be prepared in advance and installed with minimal margin for delay.

The short timeframe placed particular importance on coordination, accuracy and installation sequencing, as the event environment needed to be completed rapidly without compromising presentation quality.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic fabricated a custom stage designed around a bold, futuristic aesthetic suited to the technology-focused nature of the championship.

Branded scenic backdrops and additional features were installed throughout the venue to extend the event identity beyond the principal stage.

Custom podiums were produced for the competition environment, while illuminated lightbox signage introduced further branded focal points throughout the space.

Additional bespoke scenic elements were fabricated as required to complete the event environment and create a consistent visual treatment across the venue.

Because the build period was less than one day, Evolution Scenic coordinated the installation carefully to allow the different scenic elements to be deployed rapidly and accurately within the available programme.

Delivery Highlights

• Scenic production for the CyTaka World Cyber Championship.

• Second consecutive year supporting the event.

• International live cyber competition.

• Competition prize of up to $100,000.

The project demonstrates Evolution Scenic’s ability to deliver high-quality event scenery under extreme time pressure, where fabrication preparation, logistics and on-site installation need to be tightly coordinated to achieve a complete venue transformation within a very limited build window.

Corporate conferences often need to move between formal presentations, interactive workshops and evening hospitality while maintaining a consistent visual identity throughout the programme. For Roche’s two-day conference and gala dinner in Dubai on 3–4 February 2020, Evolution Scenic delivered scenic and technical solutions for an international audience of 100 representatives.

The event combined company results presentations, partner recognition, product-focused workshops and an awards gala. Evolution Scenic’s scope included a bespoke conference stage, integrated LED screens, branded scenic elements, workshop environments, modular partitions, a dedicated gala dinner stage, custom lighting and supporting furniture.

The Challenge

The event required two distinct environments to be delivered within one coordinated corporate identity.

The daytime conference needed to support presentations, workshops and product communication, while the evening gala dinner required a more formal and celebratory atmosphere for partner recognition and awards.

Workshop areas also needed to remain flexible and functional, with scenic panels, AV setups and modular partitions supporting smaller interactive sessions.

The challenge was therefore to create multiple event environments that could fulfil different programme requirements while remaining visually consistent with Roche’s brand.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic delivered a bespoke conference stage with integrated LED screens and branded scenic elements, creating a strong focal point for the presentation of Roche’s 2019 results and wider company content.

Dedicated workshop areas were fitted with custom scenic panels, AV setups and modular partitions to support smaller interactive sessions and product-focused discussions.

For the gala dinner, Evolution Scenic designed and built a separate awards stage complemented by elegant scenic backdrops, custom lighting treatments and branded elements aligned with Roche’s corporate identity.

The project also involved coordination with other Evolution departments to support technical requirements including audiovisual systems, staging and bespoke furniture.

By integrating scenic production with technical support and furniture, Evolution created a complete environment for both the daytime conference and evening gala programme.

Delivery Highlights

• • Two-day Roche conference and gala dinner.
• • Event dates: 3–4 February 2020.
• • 100 international representatives.
• • Bespoke conference stage.
• • Integrated LED screens.
• • Branded scenic elements.
