The inaugural E1 Series Electric Boat Race made its debut in Jeddah KSA, bringing together world-class racing, international broadcast partners and thousands of spectators for a landmark sporting event on the Red Sea.

Appointed as the Technical production partner, Evolution Technical managed the delivery of all AVL systems across the race venue, supporting the Fan Zone, hospitality areas, broadcast operations, prize-giving ceremony and the official E1 Gala Dinner.

The project required close coordination across multiple event environments while meeting the technical standards expected of a global live sporting broadcast.

The Challenge

Unlike a traditional event, the E1 Series operated across several independent production zones, each with its own technical requirements and operating schedules.

Live race coverage, public engagement, hospitality experiences and broadcast operations all needed to run simultaneously while sharing critical audio and video content across the venue.

Managing incoming international broadcast feeds, distributing live content to multiple display locations and maintaining reliable communications across the site required a resilient technical infrastructure capable of supporting both live television production and the spectator experience.

The Solution

Evolution developed a site-wide production network that connected every key event space into a single coordinated workflow. Broadcast feeds, live race coverage and event content were distributed across large-format LED screens, IMAG displays and hospitality monitors, ensuring audiences remained connected to the action regardless of their location.

A dedicated lighting package transformed the Fan Zone throughout the event, while special effects including cold spark fountains and CO₂ jets added impact to the prize-giving ceremony. Beyond the race venue, Evolution also delivered the complete audiovisual production for the official E1 Gala Dinner, creating a premium setting for invited guests and stakeholders.

Delivery Highlights 

• Managed technical production across multiple event zones.
• Coordinated incoming international broadcast feeds and site-wide content distribution.
• Installed 3.9mm outdoor LED screens, IMAG displays and hospitality TV systems.
• Delivered a high-capacity audio and video networking infrastructure across the venue.
• Designed and operated lighting for the Fan Zone using beam, spot and wash fixtures.
• Supplied cold spark and CO₂ special effects for the prize-giving ceremony.
• Delivered the complete AVL production for the official E1 Gala Dinner.
• Provided on-site technical management and operational support throughout the event..

Outcome

The technical infrastructure enabled every part of the E1 event to operate as one connected production, from live race coverage and fan engagement to hospitality experiences and the official prize-giving ceremony. Reliable broadcast integration, venue-wide content distribution and coordinated technical management ensured a consistent experience for spectators, partners and international broadcasters alike.

The successful delivery highlighted Evolution Technical's capability to manage large-scale sporting events where live broadcast, entertainment and audience experience must operate seamlessly across multiple venues and production environments.

For the 13th World Trade Organization (WTO) Ministerial Conference, Evolution Technical was entrusted with delivering a complete audio and lighting package for the MC13 Ceremonial Gala Dinner at Qasr Al Watan, Abu Dhabi.

The prestigious event welcomed high-level international delegates for an evening of networking, cultural performances and formal dining, reflecting the UAE's reputation for hosting world-class diplomatic events. Evolution's role was to provide a seamless technical production that supported live performances and speeches while complementing the grandeur of one of the country's most iconic venues.

The Challenge

Delivering technical production within the Presidential Palace required meticulous planning, strict adherence to security protocols and logistical coordination across the Evolution Ecosystem.

The production needed to provide high-quality audio reinforcement, elegant architectural lighting and reliable communications across the venue, while ensuring uninterrupted support for speeches, performances and event operations.

One of the project's greatest challenges was the limited load-in and load-out schedule. Equipment had to be delivered, installed, tested and removed within tightly controlled access windows without compromising production quality or operational efficiency.

The Solution

For the 12th Season of the Hamdan International Photography Award (HIPA), Evolution Technical was commissioned to design and deliver an original audio, video and lighting (AVL) concept that elevated the prestige of the awards while keeping photography at the heart of the production.

Hosted at Dubai Opera, the ceremony required an advanced stage solution that seamlessly combined automation, video, lighting and audio into a single, immersive production. Working in collaboration with TECS, Evolution developed a technically sophisticated show environment that transformed the venue while supporting the ceremony's creative vision.

The Challenge

The production required complex technical systems to be integrated into a refined stage design without distracting from the award ceremony itself.

A dynamic stage environment was needed to support multiple award presentations, performances and visual transitions while maintaining flawless synchronisation between automation, media playback and lighting. The installation also had to work within stage area of Dubai Opera, requiring careful engineering of the rigging and automation systems.

Delivering smooth, repeatable movement of large LED screens while maintaining precise show timing demanded detailed planning and specialist technical expertise.

The Solution

Working alongside TECS, Evolution Technical engineered a bespoke automation system that enabled LED screens to travel on both the X and Y axis (stage left to stage right and upstage to down stage) creating a dynamic and adaptable stage environment throughout the ceremony.

A large central hero LED wall formed the visual focal point of the production. The complete system was rigged from Dubai Opera's mothergrid and fly bars, supported by Litec truss, GIS hoists and dedicated automation rails to deliver smooth, controlled movement.

To further enhance the scenic design, Evolution fabricated a custom LED-framed stage arch, providing dramatic visual transitions and full blackout capability controlled directly by the lighting team, whilst being supported by GIS hoists and Litec truss.

Content playback was managed using Disguise media servers, with timecode synchronisation ensuring seamless coordination between automation, video playback and lighting cues. Lighting control was delivered from GrandMA2 consoles at front of house, while DiGiCo consoles managed the event's audio system, providing exceptional clarity for presenters, performances and award announcements.

The result was a fully integrated production where automation, lighting, audio and video operated as one unified technical system.

Delivery Highlights

Audio reinforcement was centered around a L-Acoustics Syva system with Syva Low extensions providing the main PA coverage, complemented by L-Acoustics 5XT loudspeakers for ambient fill throughout the venue. The system was powered by LA12X amplifiers, delivering exceptional clarity for speeches and programme content. HK Audio floor wedges provided discreet stage monitoring, while Shure RF wireless microphone systems ensured reliable speech reinforcement and presenter mobility.

Lighting was designed to enhance the elegance of the venue using a combination of Astera Titan Tubes, AX5 and AX3 fixtures alongside Robe, SGM P5 and Chauvet lighting systems. All fixtures were programmed and controlled using a ChamSys MagicQ70 lighting console with Swisson Wireless DMX, providing flexible and dependable wireless lighting control throughout the event.

Lighting towers were constructed using Litec Varitower structures, providing the required height and fixture positioning while maintaining a clean, unobtrusive appearance within the venue.
