The Challenge

The exhibition stand needed to accommodate both formal presentations and immersive brand storytelling within a busy exhibition environment.

The presentation space required high-quality audio and visual performance while overcoming ambient noise from the exhibition hall. At the same time, the immersive room needed to deliver a fully synchronised multimedia experience that surrounded visitors with dynamic video and spatial audio.

All environments had to operate reliably throughout COP28 while remaining intuitive for event operators.

The Solution

Evolution Technical designed and installed a complete AVL system tailored to the different functional requirements of each space.

The presentation area featured a 96-inch display supporting PowerPoint presentations and multimedia playback. Audio reinforcement was provided by L-Acoustics 5XT loudspeakers discreetly integrated into the stand walls, delivering clear and even coverage without compromising the stands design. To overcome background noise from the exhibition hall, a wireless tour guide transmitter system was incorporated as a secondary audio feed from the main console, ensuring presentations remained clear for attendees.

The area was illuminated using CCT Scena Fresnel fixtures, providing consistent, presenter-friendly lighting throughout live sessions.

Within the immersive room, five portrait-mounted LED displays created a wrap-around visual experience, complemented by a 5.1 L-Acoustics surround sound system that enhanced audience immersion. Multimedia playback was managed through a Watchout media server, with content triggered remotely via a wireless tablet, providing operators with flexible and responsive show control.
