As immersive technologies such as projection mapping, spatial computing, and mixed reality continue to evolve, the most impactful experience are increasingly driven by story rather than technology alone. This session explores how narrative led thinking can shape AV and immersive design, allowing technology to become invisible in service of emotion, meaning and audience connection.
Drawing on world-class projects including the UK Pavilion at Osaka World Expo and early work with technologies such as Apple Vision Pro, the panel will discuss world-building, performance led design, and the creation of truly transformative experiences. Speakers will share how their backgrounds in theatre, dance, and live performance influence their creative process. How they navigate an ever-evolving technical landscape without losing narrative focus and what the next two years may hold for immersive experience design across culture, brand, and live environments.

From global sporting events and concerts to multi-venue expos and city-wide festivals, large scale events demand AV and integration systems that can perform flawlessly under immense pressure. This session explores how integrators, consultants and venue operators design, deploy, and manage high-capacity, mission-critical AV infrastructure across complex environments. We'll dive into technical, logistical and operational challenges of delivering synchronised audio, video, control and communication systems at scale, from stadiums and arenas to temporary mega event setups.

Exhibition and conference venues operate like small cities, supported by a permanent layer of technology that enables every event, tenancy and visitor experience. This session explores the year-round technology infrastructure that underpins a major venue, focusing on integrated systems such as wayfinding, connectivity, control, signal distribution, operational monitoring, room management and digital services.
Rather than looking at one-off large-scale events, the discussion will examine how permanent venue environments are designed, managed and adapted to support a constant turnover of exhibitors, organisers and audiences. Panellists will explore long-term integration strategies, the realities of maintaining AV and building-tech ecosystems across multiple halls and public spaces, and the operational coordination required to keep the venue running day in and day out.
