ADIPEC Opening Ceremony

In 2019 I served as Executive Producer with Action Impact for the Opening Ceremony of ADIPEC in Abu Dhabi – one of the world’s largest energy conferences.

The ceremony featured a keynote address by Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, CEO of ADNOC, alongside global industry leaders including Condoleezza Rice.

The stage design centred on a fully automated LED system, with large-format screens moving in choreographed sequences to support a narrative exploring the future of energy and data. At the time, it represented the largest deployment of LED technology for an event in Abu Dhabi and involved considerable research and development.

Delivered within a politically and commercially sensitive environment, the production required the integration of advanced stage automation, disciplined storytelling and careful stakeholder management – resulting in a measured and high-impact opening to a globally significant industry gathering.
