Destination Highlights Nordic XPO
In the fall of 2022, we were given the opportunity to produce our first production in the then newly opened Scandinavian XPO facility, Destination Highlights Nordic XPO. On behalf of the Hairdressing Companies, we were tasked with developing design and technical solutions for the event in the exhibition hall as well as for breakouts and lounges in nearby premises and the entrance.The solution for the main stage in Hall 1 was a setup with six display surfaces. Three high-resolution LED screens on the stage that were connected by our Edgetron fixtures, two projected screens on the sides of the stage that showed the camera, and a large 12m panorama above the catwalk that showed a mix of presentation and camera. Above the stage we hung a massive light rig with 50 movable fixtures and more of our Edgetrons.
In the back of Hall 1 we built breakout rooms and lounges, one of which also functioned as a nightclub.
