The Challenge.
The client wanted more than just generic event content. They wanted a content engine.

lack consistency in output
The challenge was to design an environment that could:
Standout on the Expo Floor, whilst encouraging participation ✓
Feel like a premium branded experience
Encourage participation from speakers and guests
Generate content for multi-use post-event ✓
