A 3-metre open dome activation was designed, built, and installed for DXB Live at the Governance of Emerging Technologies Summit, the UAE's landmark gathering on the responsible governance of AI, quantum computing, and Web3. Visitors selected one of six countries on a touchscreen console and watched that nation's emerging technology story unfold across the full curve of the dome in front of them, turning a policy conversation about global technology governance into something delegates could see, choose, and explore for themselves.
The Governance of Emerging Technologies Summit convenes policymakers, legal experts, technologists, and academics from more than twenty countries to shape how the world governs AI, quantum computing, and Web3. The subject matter is abstract by nature: frameworks, legislation, and ethical principles do not naturally lend themselves to a visual exhibition. DXB Live needed an activation that would give delegates something tangible to engage with, and that would communicate how emerging technology is developing across different nations without reducing the topic to text on a panel.
The activation also had to work within the constraints of a live summit floor. Delegates move between sessions in short windows, so the experience needed to be immediately understandable, quick to complete, and repeatable for a continuous flow of visitors across both days. It had to hold its own visually within a heavily designed event environment, and the entire installation had to be built, transported, installed, and commissioned to a fixed summit deadline with no margin for overrun.
"Governance is an abstract subject until you can see what it looks like somewhere else. Give a delegate six countries and a screen, and suddenly they are not being told how the world regulates technology, they are choosing which part of it to look at."

— Creative Director, GETS Summit Dome Activation
The dome became one of the most approachable moments on the summit floor. Because the format was open rather than enclosed, delegates could see the content playing from a distance and step straight in without a queue or an entry point, which suited an audience moving between sessions in short windows. The act of choosing a country turned a passive display into a decision, and gave each delegate a reason to stay for the sequence they had selected themselves.
The activation demonstrates how an open dome can make an abstract policy subject genuinely legible. By pairing a simple selection interface with content built specifically for the curved surface, a conversation about how different nations govern emerging technology became something delegates could explore at their own pace, in under a minute, and repeat with a different country on the way back.
