Corporate event management & production · Dubai & GCC
We specify, supply and run the audio visual for the corporate events we plan and deliver in Dubai and across the UAE: sound, stage lighting, LED screens, projection and live streaming. Our technical team sets it up, tests it and stays on site until the last session ends. We do not hire out equipment on its own.
In short
Purrple Orryx Events provides the audio visual for the corporate events it plans and delivers in Dubai and across the UAE: sound, lighting, LED walls, show control and live streaming, specified for the venue and run by our own crew. We do not rent equipment on its own. Recent work includes stage and screens for Al-Futtaim Logistics' conference for up to 250 staff and live streaming with translation at Expo 2020 Dubai.
How we deliver this
AV, lighting and staging are part of every event we deliver. We deliver this as part of complete, end-to-end corporate events: concept, production and on-site delivery handled by one team.
01
If you are searching for audio visual rental or AV hire in Dubai, here is how we work: AV is one part of the corporate events we plan and deliver end to end, alongside staging, branding and on-site management. We do not rent out equipment on its own. For an event we are running, you get the right sound, screens and lighting, set up properly, tested before guests arrive and run by people who stay until the end.
A typical AV set-up for an event covers a sound system and microphones sized to the room, stage and ambient lighting, an LED wall or projection screens, a show control desk for slides and video, and technicians to run it. Live streaming, simultaneous translation equipment and confidence monitors are added when the format needs them.
Founded in 2013, Purrple Orryx is a Dubai corporate event company with its own technical team. We run conferences, gala dinners, awards nights, product launches and grand openings in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and the rest of the UAE, and in Saudi Arabia for clients based in Dubai.

Sound systems configured for the room and the audience: line arrays or column speakers for ballrooms and halls, distributed speakers for long rooms, and wireless handheld, lapel and lectern microphones. We position speakers to avoid feedback and echo, and soundcheck every microphone before doors open.
Lighting designed around the space: clean, even light on speakers and panels for conferences, and layered stage, wash and ambient lighting for gala dinners, awards nights and launches, with a lighting operator to run every cue.
LED walls sized to the room, the content and the viewing distance, with a pixel pitch that suits how close the audience sits. Under a low ceiling, projection or a centre screen with side screens can work better, and we will tell you when it does. This is also where immersive AV experiences for launches start.
Conference AV with a show control desk that runs slides, video, walk-in music and stings from one place, confidence monitors for presenters and a backup laptop with duplicate files. One technical lead owns the running order and every late change.
Live streaming for hybrid conferences and town halls: cameras, vision mixing, encoding to the platform you choose and a separate audio mix for remote viewers. Simultaneous translation equipment can be added for multilingual audiences.
Stages, truss and set pieces built to the venue's ceiling height and rigging points, plus a technical director who manages our crew, the venue's engineers and specialist suppliers on the day, so the event runs to schedule. We also fit screens and sound into the exhibition stands we design and build.
03
Before we recommend equipment we ask about the venue, the headcount, the ceiling height and acoustics of the room, the content being presented and the running order. A site visit then confirms power, rigging points, sightlines and load-in times with the venue's engineers.
From that we build an AV package for your event rather than quoting from a standard rate card: sound that suits the room, screens everyone can read and lighting that fits the format. Everything is installed and tested before rehearsal, and the crew stays until the last session ends and the de-rig is complete.
Short notice is possible. We have delivered full technical production for a forum confirmed three to four days before the event, but more time gives you more choice of equipment and crew, especially in the busy cooler months.
04
For Al-Futtaim Logistics' annual GCC conference at Le Meridien JBR, Dubai, in February 2024, we handled stage and screen design, full AV and conference management for 200 to 250 staff under a low ballroom ceiling. We lowered the stage so the full-size screen still fitted and every presentation stayed clear.
At Expo 2020 Dubai we ran technical production, live streaming, simultaneous translation and on-site management for the Polish-African Economic Forum on 28 March 2022. The organiser, PAIH, reports over 400 participants from 40 countries, including 100 online.

No. We provide audio visual only as part of the corporate events we plan and deliver end to end, so the team that plans your event also specifies, sets up and runs the sound, screens and lighting. If you need equipment-only hire for an event another company is managing, a dedicated rental company is the better fit.
It depends on the room size and headcount, how many screens and microphones you need, the lighting, whether you stream, the number of event days and the set-up time. We price a package after a short call about the venue and running order, so you pay for what the event needs rather than a fixed rate card.
Ask whether the company sends its own crew, visits the venue before quoting, names one person to own the running order on the day and brings backup equipment, and whether AV, staging and the rest of the event sit with one team or several suppliers. Those decide whether your event runs on time far more than the brand of the speakers.
Yes. For a conference in a hotel ballroom, a package usually includes a centre LED wall or projection screens, speakers sized to the room, wireless handheld and lapel microphones plus a lectern microphone, stage wash lighting, a show control desk with confidence monitors, and technicians for sound, vision and lighting. We confirm the exact list after a site visit.
LED walls are brighter, stay sharp in lit rooms and outdoors, and can be built to almost any size. Projection suits darker rooms and low ceilings where a large LED wall will not fit. For LED, the closer the audience sits, the finer the pixel pitch needs to be.
Yes. We supply cameras, vision mixing and encoding, stream to the platform you choose and run a separate audio mix for remote viewers. At Expo 2020 Dubai we combined live streaming with simultaneous translation for the Polish-African Economic Forum.
Yes. Our team works from Dubai across the UAE, including Abu Dhabi, and we run events in Saudi Arabia for clients based in Dubai. We have produced facility openings in Abu Dhabi's Industrial City and in Ras Al Khaimah.
As soon as the date and venue are fixed. The cooler months, roughly October to April, are the busiest for LED walls and experienced crew. Short notice can still work: we delivered full technical production for a forum confirmed three to four days out.
