Evolution Live Event Management was tasked with overseeing the planning and execution of the invite-only mega-event, which featured VIP guests and A-list celebrities.
​
Despite facing multiple delays and changes in the dates and locations of the event, the Evolution team was able to accommodate these changes and deliver the required scope of work within a very tight time frame. This included everything from Scenic custom-made items throughout the hotel premises to restaurant parties and a visit by Dubai’s HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.

Despite the challenges, the Evolution team was able to conquer and deliver the event to perfection. The client was thrilled with the final result, which was a testament to the team's dedication and hard work. Overall, the Atlantis The Royal grand opening was a successful event that showcased the capabilities and expertise of the Evolution Live Event Management team.

Atlantis The Royal is a luxurious off-shoot of the Atlantis brand of hotel chains, seeking to impress and adopt a new demographic looking for a high-end staycation experience.

Evolution Live Events Management was appointed as the agency of choice to organize a guided tour for VVIP's to exhibit the hotel's progress and provide a glimpse of the final product to investors and high net worth individuals alike.

The venue posed unique challenges, specifically a lack of rigging support, its continued operation as a construction site and taking extreme precautions to protect the high end finishing where necessary.

All scenic elements were fabricated in record time and installed as per the client's requested schedule. These included the production of a main stage, freestanding exhibition panels.  In addition to this, Evolution's scope included managing on-site guest registration, a photo-booth activation and live performers.

Evolution Live Event Management was responsible for producing the ADNOC 100X Accelerate Forum at the ADNOC Business Center. The forum was organized to discuss ways to accelerate the company's growth and development.

One major challenge faced by the production team was the tight timeline for the event. It was held just two days after the Emirati Women's Day event, and the team was tasked with rebranding and recycling the entire setup from that event to fit the identity of the 100X Accelerate Forum.
Despite the challenges, the production team was able to complete the job successfully. They were able to repurpose the existing setup, incorporating new branding and design elements to create a cohesive and visually appealing event space. The team's hard work and proactive approach were key to their success in delivering the event on such a short timeline.

The client was extremely satisfied with the final result, praising the production team for their fast and efficient work. The ADNOC 100X Accelerate Forum was a resounding success, and the team's efforts were a major contributing factor to the event's success.

Evolution Live Events Management was tasked with refurbishing and renovating three public schools in Abu Dhabi & Al Ain that had come under a new management - New Century Education (NCE).

Our focus was on creating modern and inspirational learning environment for the schools. and we worked closely with the NCE team in implementing their brand guidelines into curriculum based graphics. Evolution’s design team created a variety of graphics that depict different subjects related to the school's curriculum, such as science, history, Math or literature. Implementing these helped create cohesive and engaging environment for students, and served as a learning tool by providing additional information and context about the subjects being taught. All the graphics were installed in the school corridors.

The overall fit-out was designed to brighten up the spaces as the existing structure was very dull and dark. We refreshed the space by adding birch ply cladded walls and provided new custom furniture for the different spaces. Renovation process involved a variety of improvements, including the fit out of existing spaces such as a library, theater, reception, open area, and meeting rooms and included installing/updating the necessary infrastructure, finishes, and fixtures to make these spaces functional and attractive. This included upgrading flooring, lighting and custom furniture.

Overall, the school renovation project was a complex and time-consuming undertaking, but it had a significant impact on the learning environment and experience of students and staff. The Evolution team carefully planned and executed the renovations to create functional, attractive, and inspiring space that supports the needs and goals of the New Century Education system.

Evolution Live Event Management was appointed to produce a Ramadan themed event for Four Seasons Resort Dubai. The client brief sought to create a stand out piece for their in-house guests that would usher in the auspicious month while encouraging repeat visitation for iftar and suhoor.

Evolution's design team relied on traditional Islamic patterns & motifs to create a stunning fit-out design that was visually striking and culturally relevant.

Post fabrication of all scenic elements in Evolution's in-house Scenic department, one of the key issues faced during the installation was the level of noise experienced by guests during their stay at the hotel. In order to mitigate this, our production team worked closely with the hotel management to ensure a clear plan of action for the installation, complete with scheduling the work around the busiest times of the day and communicating regularly with hotel staff to address unforeseen issues that were anticipated pre-emptively by our experienced team and addressed accordingly.

The National Service Career Fair is organized in collaboration with the UAE armed forces as an exhibition that seeks to open channels of communication between graduates from the national & reservice service in the armed forces and exhibitors from government and private sectors to find job opportunities or further pursue education.

The entire project was fabricated & executed in 3 working days post design approval. Our team worked relentlessly with the exhibition organizers to ensure all relevant paperwork and documentation was submitted in-time to ensure ATA's participation in this crucial exhibition.
