01Selected work · Product or project launch
London Gate
Luxury real estate development
- Guests
- 600 to 1,000
- Venue
- The Ritz-Carlton DIFC, Dubai
Purrple Orryx produced the launch of Franck Muller Vanguard by London Gate, a branded residential project, at The Ritz-Carlton DIFC, Dubai, for 600 to 1,000 guests including VIPs and brokers. We ran staging, AV, VIP arrivals and the show run, with rehearsals possible only one hour before doors.
The hard part
Rehearsal one hour before doors. The show run could only be rehearsed about an hour before the event, with changes still coming in.
Result
The launch ran to the agenda despite the compressed rehearsal. Our lesson for multi-agency launches: one central communication channel and firm input deadlines for every partner.
02Selected work · Gala / awards night
MENALAC
Leisure and entertainment industry association (MENA)
- Guests
- 400 to 500
- Venue
- Sky View Dubai
- Year
- 2024
Purrple Orryx planned and produced the MENALAC Awards 2024, the yearly gala of the Middle East and North Africa Leisure and Attractions Council, at Sky View Dubai for 400 to 500 guests. We handled design, staging, show run, sponsors and guest management, including a seating change one hour before doors.
The hard part
Heavy content load. Award categories, sponsor branding and on-screen content needed continuous revisions right up to show day.
Result
The awards ran to schedule despite the late seating change, and MENALAC's events team thanked our team for the support on the night.
03Selected work · Conference / seminar
Polish Investment and Trade Agency (PAIH)
Government trade and investment agency (Poland)
- Guests
- 400 to 500
- Venue
- Expo 2020 Dubai
- Lead time
- 3 to 4 days from confirmation
Purrple Orryx handled technical production, live streaming, simultaneous translation and on-site management for the Polish-African Economic Forum, organised by PAIH at Expo 2020 Dubai on 28 March 2022. PAIH reports over 400 participants from 40 countries, including 100 online. The job was confirmed 3 to 4 days before the event.
The hard part
3 to 4 days' notice. Confirmation came only days before the forum.
Result
The forum ran across all five panels with online and on-site delegates. PAIH's own report of the event is linked below.
04Selected work · Family day
CANPACK
Packaging manufacturing (beverage cans, glass, closures)
- Guests
- 500 to 600
- Venue
- JA Resort Jebel Ali, Dubai
- Lead time
- 1 week from confirmation to event
Purrple Orryx delivered CANPACK's outdoor Christmas carnival family day for about 500 employees and family members at JA Resort Jebel Ali, Dubai, on 8 December 2023. The event was confirmed one week out and ran in cold, windy conditions.
The hard part
One week to deliver. The event was confirmed seven days before the date.
Result
A full carnival for around 500 guests went from confirmation to doors in one week, with a wind-reinforced setup and heated areas for guests.
05Selected work · Conference / seminar
Al-Futtaim Logistics
Logistics and supply chain
- Guests
- 200 to 250
- Venue
- Le Meridien JBR, Dubai
- Year
- 2024
Purrple Orryx ran Al-Futtaim Logistics' annual conference for its GCC team on 16 February 2024 at Le Meridien JBR, Dubai, for 200 to 250 staff: stage and screen design under a low ceiling, full AV, branding, photobooth and conference management.
The hard part
Low ceiling, big screen. The ballroom ceiling limited stage height, but presentations needed a large screen.
Result
The conference ran on schedule with no visible disruption from either issue, and the client's marketing team later described it as a successful event with happy employees.
02Behind the scenes
19 hours. One ballroom. Three minutes.
An empty hotel ballroom turned into a launch for 600 to 1,000 guests: rigging, LED walls, lighting programming, sound, fabrication and the final checks before doors. One Purrple Orryx team ran all of it.
