ICA-Retailers' Day 2019

Each year, the ICA-Retailers federation brings together members for ICA-Retailers' Day – a full day of conference, general assembly, dinner, party and networking. In 2019, we were entrusted by PS Occasion to deliver design and a complete technical solution for the event at Avicii Arena.

Our solution consisted of a two-part floor at Avicii Arena with an exhibition and networking area on one side and a conference and party stage on the other. The networking area featured bars, lounges and environments for mingling. The stage side was equipped with six projected display surfaces, a lighting rig with around fifty moving fixtures and audio technology for the conference and live artists including Eric Gadd, Jill Johnsson, Linda Bengtzing and Arvingarna.

In addition to the setup at Avicii Arena, we also delivered a complete rig in the Annex – general assembly during the day, then converted to a nightclub for the evening.
