The Accelerate 100x Forum, organised by ADNOC, brought together senior executives, government representatives and industry leaders for a strategic programme delivered simultaneously from ADNOC Business Centre in Abu Dhabi and Al Ruwais.


With audiences, presenters and discussions taking place across two locations, Evolution was appointed to create a unified production environment that enabled both venues to operate as one live event through integrated audiovisual systems and real-time connectivity.

The Challenge


Running a live event across two venues presented a unique set of technical challenges. Rather than producing two independent conferences, the objective was to create a shared experience where speakers and delegates at each location could interact naturally, as though they were in the same room.


This required dependable, low-latency communication between venues, while ensuring presentations, audio, video and production cues remained perfectly synchronized. At the same time, each venue had to operate independently across dedicated production teams, while remaining connected to a single event workflow.

The Solution


A hybrid production environment was engineered to link both venues through a resilient fibre network supported by bonded 4G backup. Live audio, video and production communications flowed continuously between Abu Dhabi and Al Ruwais, allowing keynote speakers, panel discussions and audience interaction to take place without noticeable delay.


Each venue was equipped with dedicated audio, lighting and video systems tailored to its operational requirements, while a centralised networking architecture ensured every department could monitor, manage and coordinate production in real time.

Outcome

Delegates were able to participate in discussions, presentations and live interactions without disruption, creating a consistent experience for audiences in both Abu Dhabi and Al Ruwais.
