Destination Highlights Nordic XPO

In autumn 2022, we produced our first event at the newly opened Scandinavian XPO – Destination Highlights Nordic XPO. On behalf of Frisörföretagarna (Swedish Hairdressing Businesses), we developed design and technical solutions for the event in the exhibition hall, along with breakout rooms and lounges in adjacent spaces and the entrance.

The main stage solution in Hall 1 used six display surfaces: three high-resolution LED screens on stage connected by our Edgetron fixtures, two projected screens on the sides showing the camera feed, and a 12 m panoramic screen above the catwalk showing a mix of presentation and camera. Above the stage, a massive lighting rig with 50 moving fixtures and additional Edgetrons.

At the back of Hall 1, we built breakout rooms and lounges – one of which also served as a nightclub.
