Behind the scenes at AVEVAWORLD 2026

What does it really look like behind the scenes when a major global event moves into an arena?

Just a few weeks ago, the halls at MiCo Arena in Milan stood empty. A few days later, we had transformed the venue into #AVEVAWORLD 2026 and welcomed more than 4,000 attendees from around the world to keynotes, breakout sessions, networking events, exhibitions, customer meetings, and interactive experiences.

This film follows the journey from the moment the first truck rolls onto the site, through construction and technical rehearsals, all the way to the opening of the show and the finished visitor experience.

And a quick heads-up before you hit play: we had almost as much fun making the video as we did putting together the event, so it’s a little longer than usual.
