IDEAS ABU DHABI

Abu Dhabi, 2025

On January 26, 2025, Ideas Abu Dhabi—organized by Tamkeen in collaboration with the Aspen Institute and the Clinton Global Initiative—hosted a special session to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the UAE Rhodes Scholarship.

The event featured former US President Bill Clinton, who led a discussion with 12 UAE Rhodes Scholars, business leaders, and civil society representatives on leadership, collaboration, and global challenges.

Evolution was appointed to deliver the full event environment, from concept design to on-site installation. Working within the Ideas Abu Dhabi brand guidelines, the team developed a creative concept that aligned with the event’s identity and stature.

• Key scenic elements included a custom-designed stage backdrop and dedicated photo opportunity backdrops.
• To complement these, Evolution provided a full furniture package tailored to the setting, including cocktail tables, audience seating, and furniture for speakers.
• Technical integration and on-site build were managed by Evolution’s production team, ensuring that all elements came together cohesively.

The result was a sophisticated environment that reinforced the Ideas Abu Dhabi brand while providing an engaging platform for dialogue.

By combining scenic creativity with functional execution Evolution delivered a setting that reflected the prestige of the occasion and supported the exchange of ideas among global leaders and scholars.
