For the Kerzner Global Conference Awards Gala 2022, Evolution Technical were appointed to deliver the complete AVL solution for the awards ceremony and gala dinner at One&Only Royal Mirage Fort, Dubai.
The brief called for a fully ground-supported production that combined premium live event technology with elegant architectural lighting, creating an immersive environment that reflected the prestige of the Kerzner brand.
The production supported award presentations, speeches, live entertainment and evening celebrations within a sophisticated outdoor setting.
The Challenge
Producing a premium outdoor gala required a technical solution that balanced high-performance live production with refined visual design.
The audio system needed to provide consistent coverage for speeches, awards presentations and live performances across the open-air venue, while the lighting design had to enhance both the stage and the surrounding architecture. The production also required a stable ground-supported structure capable of supporting the complete AVL system without compromising the venue's aesthetics.
Integrating architectural lighting, wireless performance systems and special effects into one seamless production demanded careful planning and technical coordination.
The Solution
Evolution Technical designed and delivered a fully integrated AVL solution centred around a Litec aluminium ground-supported truss system, providing a stable and visually clean platform for the production equipment.
Audio reinforcement was delivered using L-Acoustics speaker arrays powered by LA12X amplifiers, ensuring clear and even sound coverage throughout the venue. HK Audio floor wedges provided stage monitoring, while Shure RF wireless microphone systems supported speeches and award presentations. Performers were equipped with Shure PSM 1000 wireless in-ear monitoring systems, allowing unrestricted movement while maintaining exceptional audio quality.
Lighting combined both performance and architectural elements. Astera Titan Tubes and Astera AX5 fixtures created ambient lighting and enhanced the event décor, while Robe and Chauvet fixtures formed the core performance lighting rig. The façade of the venue was mapped using Robe fixtures with custom mashrabiya gobos to deliver dynamic architectural lighting sequences synchronized with the evening's programme.
Lighting control was managed using a High End Full Boar 4 console integrated with Swisson Wireless DMX, providing reliable control while minimizing visible cabling throughout the venue.
To enhance key award presentations, cold spark machines were incorporated into the production, adding dramatic visual moments that elevated the audience experience without detracting from the event's elegant atmosphere.
