Design scope

Stages · Area lighting (venue-wide) · Area design (selected zones) · Interactive installations · Lasers · On-site Supervision

Design objectives

Create a distinct visual language to support the event’s growth.

Tech Arena needed a bold, ownable design that communicates fast-moving opportunities and innovation while supporting the event’s growth from 5,000 visitors towards its goal of more than 20,000 in the coming years.

Sun Effects design concept

Stages built as photographic backdrops, instantly readable as Tech Arena in any shared frame.

Venue-wide area lighting pulled Strawberry Arena into a single, continuous environment rather than a sequence of rooms. Lasers and interactive installations gave visitors moments to stop, photograph and share – extending the brand far beyond the keynote stage.

The result is an ownable visual language: distinctive at 5,000 visitors, and built to scale towards 20,000 without losing its edge.
