The World Future Energy Summit is one of the world's most prestigious platforms for energy innovation a global stage where governments, utilities, and sustainability leaders compete for attention, investment, and influence. For two very different clients with two very different stories to tell, the challenge was to create exhibition stands that didn't just display information but genuinely immersed visitors in each brand's vision of the future. Both stands needed to be technically ambitious, visually arresting, and capable of sustaining visitor engagement across multiple days.

For Global South Utilities, the brief required a multi-format interactive environment that could communicate the company's global operations, achievements, and future strategies across several simultaneous touchpoints including a tactile ORA Sphere display, a curved LED wall, a kinetic media installation, and a high-impact anamorphic L-shaped LED screen. For Masdar, the challenge was to create a 360-degree immersive storytelling environment worthy of the Zayed Sustainability Prize, one of the world's most important sustainability awards inside a large cylindrical LED and floor projection installation.

“At a summit about the future of energy, your stand has to feel like the future. We didn’t want visitors to read about what our clients do, we wanted them to experience it, touch it, and walk away knowing exactly why it matters.”

Ideahub Activation Agency

Two Stands. Six Technologies. One Unforgettable Summit.

GSU: ORA Sphere, Curved LED & Kinetic Media

For Global South Utilities, Created a multi-format interactive environment featuring an ORA Sphere tactile display for hands-on exploration of GSU's global operations, a curved LED wall delivering dynamic data visualisations and brand content, and a kinetic media installation that added physical movement and visual drama to the stand. Together, these three formats gave visitors multiple ways to engage with GSU's story simultaneously.

GSU: Anamorphic L-Shaped LED Experience

A bespoke anamorphic content experience was developed for an L-shaped LED screen configuration, creating a visually striking three-dimensional illusion that drew visitors to the stand from across the exhibition floor. The anamorphic content was purpose-designed to showcase GSU's global reach and innovation credentials in a format that was impossible to ignore.

Masdar: 360° Cylindrical Immersive Environment

For Masdar, We build immersive storytelling content for the Zayed Sustainability Prize experience, presented inside a large cylindrical environment combining LED displays and floor projection mapping. Visitors were surrounded by a 360-degree narrative highlighting sustainability innovation and the global impact of the Prize creating a genuinely enveloping, emotionally resonant experience.

The WFES installations delivered two of the most technically ambitious and visually striking stands at the summit. For Global South Utilities, the combination of the ORA Sphere, curved LED wall, kinetic media installation, and anamorphic L-shaped screen created a multi-format interactive environment that gave visitors multiple simultaneous entry points into the GSU story, sustaining engagement across the full duration of the event. The anamorphic content in particular proved to be one of the most effective crowd-drawing elements on the exhibition floor.

For Masdar, the 360-degree cylindrical immersive environment created a genuinely enveloping experience that communicated the scale and global impact of the Zayed Sustainability Prize in a way that no conventional exhibition format could achieve. Together, the two stands demonstrated Power Interactive's ability to deliver multiple technically distinct immersive installations simultaneously, at the highest level of international exhibition production.
