Complete solution for summit at Scandinavian XPO

NATO Industry Forum 2023

In October 2023, commissioned by Scandinavian XPO and NATO, we delivered a complete solution with design and technology for the NATO Industry Forum summit. A two-day meeting with over 800 politicians, government officials and senior leaders from the global defence industry, aimed at strengthening cooperation between NATO and the defence industry. This year's meeting carried additional prestige as the first edition organised by a partner country.

The solution included a plenary session in Hall 1 at XPO with a large stage in front of a 27 m wide video panorama, a complete technical solution with sound, lighting, video and camera. A tiered stand for press photographers and media was also built at the rear of the room.

In the rest of Hall 1 and Hall 2, we built lounges and areas for meetings and networking, a press conference room and framing with printed banners and carpeting.
