Bringing Academic Events to Life
Commencements
Commencements are the heart of what we do, and we take pride in creating unforgettable experiences for graduates and their loved ones. From spotlighting graduates in their moment of achievement to designing stunning stages, every detail is thoughtfully crafted. We collaborate with incredible partners like Marching Order and StageClip to enhance the experience. Our flawless audio systems ensure every name and word is heard with clarity, while our live broadcasts bring the celebration to audiences worldwide. With dynamic video displays and expert video production, we highlight both the in-person energy and the livestream presentation. Beyond stage wash lighting, we meticulously design an ambiance that feels like a true celebration—capturing the excitement, joy, and pride of the moment while ensuring everything looks impeccable on camera.
Alumni Celebrations
Alumni celebrations are the perfect opportunity to turn the momentous occasion of graduation into a lasting memory. We design immersive parties where alumni can celebrate not only the achievement of receiving their diploma but also create meaningful moments with family, friends, and fellow graduates. These celebrations take place in unique and memorable spaces, ranging from museums and expansive outdoor pools to speedways and beyond. Each venue is carefully curated and transformed to enhance the overall attendee experience, blending creativity with thoughtful design. Whether it’s an elegant gathering or a vibrant party, we’re here to help you craft a celebration that leaves an impression as remarkable as the milestone itself
Academic Summits
Events for university staff and administration, such as summits, town halls, and all-hands meetings, are much more than corporate gatherings. They are opportunities to align, inspire, and build a sense of community. We approach these events with creativity and meticulous attention to detail, designing experiences that reflect the unique values and goals of your institution. From dynamic stage setups and cutting-edge AV production to seamless livestreaming for remote attendees, we ensure every element fosters connection and engagement. Whether hosted in an intimate boardroom or a grand venue, we create environments that elevate the conversation and make every participant feel valued and connected.
Branding & Exhibits
For universities attending trade shows or exhibits, we offer comprehensive support to design and build booths of all sizes, tailored to showcase your institution’s unique identity. Our expertise extends beyond construction to include branding and on-site signage, ensuring every element aligns with your message. We don’t just consult; we bring your vision to life, crafting booths and displays that make a statement. Additionally, we focus on creating engaging brand experiences with photo opportunities, entrance branding, and interactive elements that leave a lasting impression. Let us help you stand out and elevate your presence at your next trade show or exhibit.
