The brief was clear: an upbeat, celebratory, and memorable night that kept the energy high from the first hello to the final moment. ## Location Dubai, UAE ## Attendees 100 ## The Labs - ### Engage - [Corporate Events](https://wtrmln-labs.com/engage/corporate-events) - [Emceeing](https://wtrmln-labs.com/engage/emceeing) - [Team Building](https://wtrmln-labs.com/engage/team-building) - ### Create - Lighting and AV Setup - [Photography](https://wtrmln-labs.com/create/photography) - [Videography](https://wtrmln-labs.com/create/video-production) - [Branding Materials Design & Production](https://wtrmln-labs.com/create/branding-materials-design-and-production-) - On Screen Visuals Design ## **Pre-Project** Everything started with the theme. We wanted something premium that gave Panasonic's team a real reason to switch off and celebrate, and that's where The Oscars Night came to life: recognition, entertainment, and glamour in a single idea. From there, we designed, produced, and built the entire evening before a single guest arrived: - **The statues.** We designed and produced custom Oscars-style statues that ran through the whole night, handed out as the award trophies, placed around the venue as décor, and standing at the photo backdrop. - **The full visual world.** Every element was designed and produced in-house: the themed red-carpet backdrop and photo props, the on-screen presentation, the printed thank-you cards, and the overall mood, lighting, and ambiance that turned the room into the set. - **The AV and technical setup.** We sourced, installed, and configured the full audio-visual backbone, sound, screens, and staging tech so the night ran without a hitch. - **The awards.** We built the structure for both the service awards and the special awards, so every moment of recognition had its place in the programme. - **The engagement.** We designed mini activities built specifically around Panasonic's goal for the night — not a generic icebreaker, but something tied to what they wanted their people to walk away feeling. - **The moments of appreciation.** We planned the beats throughout the evening where the spotlight turned to the team. - **Venue, suppliers, and logistics.** We coordinated directly with the host hotel, managed every supplier, handled installation, and prepared setup, tables, and full event management all mapped down to the detail. ## **Execution** On the night, our team delivered the full experience end-to-end: **Guest arrival** — A warm welcome from our on-ground team set the tone the moment people walked in. **Red carpet moments** — A themed red-carpet backdrop flanked by two Oscars statues, with props on hand, gave guests a paparazzi-style photo moment as they arrived. **Lead emcee and stage management** — Our lead emcee guided the room through announcements, awards, and entertainment, keeping the programme tight and the energy up. **The awards ceremony** — Service awards and special awards handed out on a premium Oscars-inspired stage, each given its own moment. **The engagement activities** — A high-energy moment that broke the ice and kept the atmosphere lively. **Moments of appreciation** — Planned beats that turned the spotlight onto Panasonic's people and made the recognition land. **Photography and videography** — Full coverage of the evening, capturing every key moment from the red carpet to the final award. **Technical production** — Our team ran the AV live throughout, keeping sound, screens, and staging seamless from the first cue to the last. ## **The Outcome** The night brought the vision to life — a high-energy celebration that pulled the team together and started the year on a strong note. The programme ran smoothly, the energy held from start to finish, and the Oscars theme gave the evening a distinct identity everyone connected with.
