When Sweden participated in Expo 2020 Dubai, the Swedish pavilion The Forest was constructed as a meeting place for innovation, sustainability, and international collaboration. During the six months of the World Expo, over 190 countries gathered in Dubai to discuss future solutions in mobility, opportunities, and sustainable development.
On the pavilion's event and conference floor, Adapt was responsible for planning, installing, and operating all AV equipment for stages and meeting areas. Over the six months of the exhibition, more than 250 events were held in the pavilion – ranging from presentations and panel discussions to product launches, fashion shows, and live-streamed conferences.
The projects varied in size and format, from smaller stage presentations to larger hybrid productions where speakers participated both on-site in Dubai and and via remote link from other parts of the world. By combining physical meetings with digital equipment, the pavilion served as an international platform for discussions and collaborations.
Installation and operation of AV equipment for over 250 events
In collaboration with partners, Adapt installed the entire technical infrastructure within the pavilion's event areas. The delivery encompassed audio, lighting, and video equipment, alongside streaming solutions for digital and hybrid meetings. All equipment was integrated into a unified network and controlled via the BLOCKS control system.
Centralized control with BLOCKS
To manage the high volume of events within the pavilion, the entire technical infrastructure was built around the BLOCKS control system. This system integrated audio, lighting, video, streaming, and other technical functionalities into a unified network, allowing all components to be controlled from a single interface. This established a stable and flexible platform, enabling rapid configuration of the equipment for various event types.
Through BLOCKS, both Adapt's technicians and the pavilion's own staff could control the equipment directly from their personal devices, such as mobile phones, tablets, or computers. This meant that stage lighting, presentations, display surfaces, and other functions could be easily adjusted in real-time according to the program. The solution ensured that every event ran smoothly despite an intensive schedule featuring hundreds of activities within the pavilion.
