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.

Large-scale youth events require scenic environments that can support presentations, performances, branding, and interactive activity while maintaining a clear visual identity across the venue. For the Youth Tolerance Rally in Abu Dhabi, Evolution Scenic delivered a broad range of scenic and structural elements for a conference and team-building event centred on diversity, tolerance, and inclusion.

The project was delivered within an intensive five-day production timeline and included a custom main stage, giant screen integration, bespoke lectern and backdrop, large-scale banner installation, performance structures, interactive team-building props, branding, and freestanding signage.

The Challenge

The Youth Tolerance Rally required multiple scenic and structural components to be designed, fabricated, coordinated, and delivered within a demanding five-day production programme.

The scope extended beyond a conventional stage build. Scenic elements needed to support presentations, live performances, music acts, team-building activities, event branding, and the wider visual identity of the rally.

With numerous individual components progressing simultaneously, the short programme required close coordination between senior team members and trusted suppliers while maintaining consistency across the overall scenic environment.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic delivered a coordinated package of custom scenic fabrication and structural elements designed around the operational and visual requirements of the event.

A bespoke main stage was constructed with an integrated giant screen and seamless backdrop to support presentations and performances. A custom lectern and matching backdrop were fabricated to align with the event branding while providing a functional focal point for speakers.

One of the central scenic features was a large-scale banner installation representing unity and diversity. This was fabricated and integrated into the event environment as a prominent visual feature.

Additional platforms and stage backdrops were produced to support live performers and music bands, while custom props and installations were created specifically for interactive team-building activities.

Branded scenic elements and freestanding signage were also delivered throughout the venue, helping establish a consistent visual identity across the event space.

The compressed programme required streamlined decision-making and close supplier coordination. By managing multiple fabrication workstreams concurrently, Evolution Scenic completed the scenic package within the five-day production timeline.

Large investment forums require exhibition environments that give individual organisations a clear identity while connecting every stand, stage and meeting area within one coherent visitor experience.

In 2022, ADNOC hosted the Make it in the Emirates investment forum at the Abu Dhabi Energy Center in collaboration with the Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology and the Department of Economic Development.

The event welcomed more than 1,000 attendees, including local and international investors and manufacturers. Evolution Scenic designed and delivered more than 24 bespoke exhibition stands, a principal conference stage, panel-discussion areas, signing zones and supporting branded infrastructure.

The Challenge

The forum needed to showcase the UAE’s manufacturing capabilities while providing more than 24 participating brands and industries with distinctive exhibition environments.

Each stand required an individual identity, but the wider exhibition still needed to feel visually connected and straightforward for visitors to navigate.

The venue also had to support keynote speeches, panel discussions, official ceremonies and high-profile agreement signings. These activities required dedicated zones with different scenic and operational requirements.

Large-format graphics, directional signage, display counters, furniture and structural elements all needed to be coordinated across the venue without disrupting the consistency of the event identity.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic designed and fabricated more than 24 bespoke exhibition stands, tailoring the visual treatment of each space to the organisation or industry it represented.

Custom structures, display counters and branded finishes gave exhibitors functional settings in which to present their work and engage with investors, manufacturers and other stakeholders.

A large main stage was fabricated for keynote speeches and official ceremonies. Scenic architecture and applied branding gave the formal programme a clear focal point within the wider forum.

Dedicated areas were also constructed for panel discussions and agreement signings. The signing environment supported the completion of 32 Memoranda of Understanding during the event.

Printed backdrops, large-format graphics, signs and directional wayfinding elements were produced across the venue. These features reinforced the overall event identity and helped guide more than 1,000 attendees between stands and programme areas.

Custom furniture, display counters and supporting structural features were incorporated throughout the exhibition to improve functionality and maintain visual consistency.

Delivery Highlights

High-profile forums require environments that support complex programmes while presenting a clear and consistent visual identity. For the Qudwa-PISA Global Competence Forum 2022 at Dubai EXPO2020, Evolution Scenic helped transform the venue into a professional event environment designed for keynote presentations, panel discussions, international delegates, VIPs and dignitaries.

Held on 19 February 2022 under the theme “Preparing Students to Live in an Interconnected World,” the forum brought together educators, policy experts and decision-makers to discuss global education standards and the future of learning. Evolution Scenic delivered a coordinated package of staging, bespoke scenic elements, furniture, signage and integrated presentation infrastructure to support the event programme.

The Challenge

The Qudwa-PISA Forum required a polished environment capable of supporting a high-level international programme while reflecting themes of education, innovation and global collaboration.

The venue needed to accommodate keynote presentations, panel discussions and live conversations, alongside the operational requirements of a diverse audience that included international educators, policy specialists, decision-makers, VIPs and dignitaries.

The scenic environment therefore needed to combine strong visual presentation with practical functionality. Staging, branded elements, furniture, screens, signage and audience circulation all had to work together as part of one cohesive event space.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic delivered a tailored scenic package centred around a custom-built main stage incorporating integrated LED screens for keynote presentations, discussions and other programmed content.

Bespoke partitions, backdrops and branded totems were produced throughout the environment, extending the visual identity of the forum beyond the main stage and helping create a consistent appearance across the venue.

Presentation and AV systems were integrated into the event environment to support panels, presentations and live discussions. The technical components were coordinated with the surrounding scenic elements so that screens and presentation infrastructure formed part of the overall venue treatment rather than appearing as isolated systems.

Furniture and seating layouts were also provided for participants, including areas intended for VIPs and dignitaries. The layouts balanced presentation requirements with audience functionality and the formal nature of the forum.

Clear signage and wayfinding elements were installed throughout the venue to support attendee movement and reinforce the wider visual identity of the event.

Delivery Highlights

• Scenic production for the Qudwa-PISA Global Competence Forum 2022.
• Event held at Dubai EXPO2020.
• Custom-built main stage.
• Integrated LED screens.

By combining bespoke scenic fabrication with staging, branded environmental elements, furniture, signage and integrated presentation infrastructure, the venue was developed as a cohesive forum environment rather than a collection of individual production components.

The project demonstrates how Evolution Scenic can apply scenic production principles to conference and forum environments, where visual identity, functionality, audience movement and presentation requirements need to operate together within a single coordinated space.

High-profile leadership forums require event environments that feel refined, cohesive and appropriate for distinguished international audiences. For the Global Citizen Forum in Ras Al Khaimah, Evolution delivered scenic fabrication and event branding across both the two-day conference programme and the exclusive Gala Dinner.

Held at the Al Hamra International Exhibition & Conference Centre under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, the forum brought together world leaders, celebrities and changemakers around the theme “The Future in Motion.” Evolution’s scope included the main stage, conference backdrops, gala scenic installations, branded features and signage, creating a consistent visual identity across the different event settings.

The Challenge

The event needed to accommodate two distinct environments within one overall visual language: a high-level conference setting for keynote speakers and discussions, and a more elevated hospitality environment for the Gala Dinner.

Each space required its own atmosphere and function while still feeling connected to the wider identity of the Global Citizen Forum.

The scenic treatment therefore needed to balance sophistication, branding and visual impact without becoming overly dominant, particularly given the senior profile of the guests and speakers.

The Solution

Evolution developed and installed a coordinated scenic package across the conference and gala environments.

For the main conference area, a high-end stage setup was created with custom scenic elements and bespoke backdrops, providing a polished focal point for keynote speakers, panel discussions and programmed content.

Branded scenic features and signage were produced throughout the venue to reinforce the event identity and maintain visual consistency across key guest-facing areas.

For the Gala Dinner, bespoke scenic installations and decorative structures were fabricated to create a more refined and atmospheric setting appropriate to the evening programme.

The different scenic components were integrated carefully within the venue layout so that staging, branding and decorative features worked together as part of one cohesive event environment aligned with the forum’s theme.

Delivery Highlights

• Scenic fabrication for the Global Citizen Forum.

• Event held in Ras Al Khaimah.

• Two-day conference programme.

• Exclusive Gala Dinner environment.

• Custom main stage fabrication.

The main stage and backdrops created a strong focal point for speakers and discussions, while branded scenic elements extended the forum’s identity throughout the venue. The Gala Dinner installations introduced a more elevated hospitality atmosphere while remaining connected to the overall visual language of the event.

The project demonstrates Evolution Scenic’s ability to deliver multi-format event environments where conference staging, hospitality scenery, branding and venue integration must work together across different programme moments.

Ideas festivals need environments that encourage conversation, discovery and collaboration among audiences with different interests and backgrounds. For the 2019 Ideas Festival at NYU Abu Dhabi, Tamkeen commissioned Evolution Scenic to create an engaging event environment centred on culture, knowledge and innovation.

The festival welcomed adults, teenagers and young professionals while providing a platform for thinkers, innovators and influencers from the UAE, the GCC and beyond.

Evolution Scenic designed and fabricated large-scale artistic installations combining geometric timber structures with vibrant graphics. Multi-functional scenic spaces were also created for discussions, workshops and networking activities.

The Challenge

The event environment needed to appeal to a broad audience while supporting several different forms of participation. Discussions, workshops, networking and informal interaction each required spaces suited to their specific purpose.

The scenic design also needed to communicate Abu Dhabi’s identity as a modern, knowledge-driven capital while celebrating UAE culture and the city’s growing role as a centre for creativity and innovation.

These ideas had to be translated into visually distinctive structures without limiting the flexibility required by the festival programme.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic designed and fabricated large-scale art installations using geometric timber structures and vibrant applied graphics.

The combination of three-dimensional forms and bold graphic treatments created a recognisable visual identity for the festival while expressing themes of culture, knowledge and innovation.

Versatile scenic elements were produced to support discussions, workshops and networking activities. These multi-functional environments enabled the event programme to accommodate different formats and audience groups within a coordinated setting.

Thematic features inspired by UAE culture and Abu Dhabi’s position as a centre for knowledge and creativity were incorporated throughout the scenic approach.

Detailed fabrication and high-quality finishing ensured the individual installations formed a polished and immersive environment across the festival.
