mubadala-sailgp-abu-dhabi-panel-session-camera-coverage-2024

Set against the backdrop of SailGP Abu Dhabi, the Mubadala X SailGP Leadership Event brought together senior stakeholders, partners and invited guests to celebrate the announcement of Mubadala's sponsorship of the Brazil SailGP Team.


Hosted inside a purpose-built temporary structure, the event combined executive presentations, brand storytelling and networking in a premium setting.


To support the occasion, Evolution was responsible for delivering the complete technical production, creating an environment where every presentation, announcement and guest interaction was supported by dependable audiovisual technology.

The Challenge


Transforming a temporary venue into a polished executive event space required far more than installing audiovisual equipment. Every production element had to work together to create an environment that felt permanent, professional and aligned with the SailGP brand.


The programme relied on uninterrupted presentations, high-quality video playback and clear speech reinforcement, while the venue also included dedicated hospitality and family areas that required their own technical infrastructure. Working within a temporary build meant carefully coordinating power, rigging, communications and AV networking to ensure every system performed reliably throughout the event.

The Solution


A tailored production system was developed to meet the event's unique operational requirements. Professional audio, LED screen, lighting, rigging and communications were combined into a single production environment that supported both formal presentations and guest hospitality.


From the main presentation stage to the outside lounge, every technical element was designed to enhance the guest experience while remaining unobtrusive. Behind the scenes, robust power distribution, fibre connectivity and crew communications ensured the production team maintained complete control throughout the event.
