Opening ceremonies, award nights and shows in the UAE and Saudi Arabia

It depends on the scale of the show, venue availability, how much scenery has to be built, and how many rehearsal days the venue can give. Protocol requirements for senior guests can also shape the schedule. Send us the date, the venue and the audience, and we will set out what needs to happen when, and where the schedule is tight.

Yes. Many hotels and venues have in-house technical suppliers or preferred contractors. We review their equipment and crew against the show design, use what fits and bring in the rest. The combined team then works from one technical schedule and one show script, with a single show caller on the night.

Yes. Protocol is planned with the show, not separately. That covers arrival routes, holding rooms, seating plans, speaking order and the timing of any presentations or awards. We work with the client’s protocol office or the guest’s own team to agree each detail before rehearsals, and brief hosts and security on the final plan.

Yes. If the event is filmed, streamed or broadcast, camera positions, lighting for camera and the timing of each segment are planned with the broadcast team during design. On the night, the show caller works alongside the broadcast director so the audience in the room and the audience on screen see the same show.

The main factors are the venue, the size of the stage and set, the technical specification, the number of performers and rehearsal days, and whether the event is broadcast. Custom-built scenery and special effects cost more than hired stock. Send us the date, venue and audience, and we will return an outline budget with options.
