Over consecutive weeks in Jeddah's Green Halls, Saudi Arabia welcomed two of the world's most prestigious cue sports events, the Matchroom Pool Championship followed by the WST Snooker Championship. Together, the tournaments attracted elite players, international broadcasters and fans from around the globe.

Supporting two world-class championships within the same venue required more than a conventional event setup. Evolution was responsible for managing the complete technical production, adapting the venue as each tournament progressed while maintaining uninterrupted broadcast operations, spectator experiences and competition schedules.

The Challenge

As the venue for two consecutive international Pool and Snooker championships, Green Halls needed to adapt continuously without affecting the competition. Practice areas, feature tables and broadcast facilities changed throughout the tournament schedule, requiring the technical infrastructure to be struck as the tournament progressed, then rebuilt in stages while maintaining uninterrupted event operations.

At the same time, international broadcast feeds, live scoring and venue-wide displays had to remain perfectly coordinated, ensuring every match reached both on-site audiences and viewers around the world with the same level of quality architecture.

The Solution

A flexible production strategy was developed to support every stage of both championships. Lighting, audio, video and rigging systems were designed to adapt as competition areas changed, allowing the venue to transition efficiently from multiple active match tables to a single televised finals arena before being reconfigured for the next tournament.

Broadcast integration formed a key part of the production, with incoming international feeds distributed across LED displays and venue screens while dedicated signal pathways connected live scoring systems throughout the venue. Networked infrastructure and special effects completed the production, delivering an engaging atmosphere for spectators while supporting international broadcast standards.

Delivery Highlights 

• Managed complete technical production across two international sporting championships.
• Delivered professional lighting, audio, video and rigging systems throughout the venue.
• Executed phased installation and dismantling of practice and competition tables.
• Reconfigured the venue between the Pool Championship and WST Snooker Championship.

At the Emirates Dubai 7’s tournament 2024, Visit Saudi created a dedicated hospitality space where guests could discover more about the Kingdom’s destinations, culture and growing tourism offering.

Evolution Technical was appointed to provide the complete audio-visual setup for the activation, combining branded content, live event coverage and carefully distributed sound to create an engaging environment within one of Dubai’s busiest sporting events.

The Challenge

The hospitality tent needed to perform as both a welcoming guest space and an active tourism showcase. Visitors had to be able to explore destination content while remaining connected to the wider Dubai 7’s programme, all within a busy venue experiencing continuous footfall throughout the day.

The technical system therefore needed to be visually clear, easy to operate and dependable over extended show hours. Audio also had to support background music, announcements and guest interaction without overpowering conversations inside the hospitality environment.

The Solution

A network of large-format television displays was positioned throughout the tent to keep branded content visible from different areas of the space. BrightSign media players managed destination films, cultural features and tourism messaging, while selected screens also received live event feeds.

For audio, a compact L-Acoustics system using 5XT loudspeakers and supporting subwoofers provided controlled coverage across the activation. The system was balanced to deliver warm background music and clear speech reinforcement while maintaining a comfortable atmosphere for guests and hosts.

In March 2024, Evolution Technical was engaged by Soul Meta Production to deliver a complex rigging solution for Ramadan-themed decorations at Dubai Mall, one of the busiest and most iconic retail environments in the region.

The project required the safe suspension of decorative pieces of varying sizes and weights at heights ranging from 7 to 20 metres, without interrupting daily mall operations. Working within restricted overnight installation windows, the project demanded detailed planning, specialist rigging expertise and professional execution.

The Challenge

Installing large-scale Ramadan decorations within one of the region's busiest shopping destinations required a rigging solution that balanced technical performance with operational efficiency.

Decorative elements of varying sizes and weights needed to be safely suspended at multiple heights while ensuring the mall remained fully operational throughout the installation. With access limited to overnight working hours, every stage of the project had to be carefully planned and executed within tight timeframes.

The installation also required precise positioning to create visual symmetry and maximise the decorative impact, complementing Dubai Mall's architecture while reflecting the cultural and spiritual essence of Ramadan.

The Solution

To meet the project's technical demands and safety requirements, Evolution's rigging team designed and constructed a 34-metre-high flown truss grid system, providing a secure overhead structure from which all decorative elements could be safely suspended.

Pre-measured steel suspension wires were prepared in advance to ensure accurate positioning and a streamlined installation process during the limited overnight access periods.

Working exclusively overnight to align with the mall's operational schedule, the team completed the full installation within the allocated programme while maintaining the highest standards of safety.

Decorative elements were strategically positioned to optimise both symmetry and visual impact, creating a striking Ramadan display that enhanced the mall environment while respecting the client's creative vision.

As part of the Expo Festival of Light at Expo City Dubai, AGB Events appointed Evolution Technical to deliver a fully immersive lighting and laser installation surrounding artist Khalid Shafar's sculpture.

Designed to enhance the artwork without overshadowing it, the installation combined lighting, lasers, media playback and timecoded control to create a captivating five-minute visual experience that transformed the temporary structure into an immersive environment.

The Challenge

The installation required the sculpture to remain the visual focal point while surrounding audiences with synchronised lighting and laser effects. Every technical element needed to operate with frame-accurate timing, integrating lighting, lasers and audio playback into a single programmed show. The enclosed structure also demanded careful fixture placement and custom optical solutions to maximise visual impact within a compact space.

The Solution

Evolution designed and programmed a fully timecoded lighting show using a ChamSys lighting console integrated with QLab playback and an external sound interface for precise synchronisation. The proposed method was mocked-up at our warehouse for testing and approval by the client, before final signoff and deployment to site.

Clay Paky XTYLOS laser fixtures were arranged around the installation and directed through custom-built reflectors, creating striking laser beams focused toward the centrepiece sculpture. Additional 5W laser systems enhanced the visual depth, while wireless Astera AX5 fixtures provided battery powered architectural colour washes across both the structure and sculpture base, where hard power was unavailable.

Throughout the five-minute sequence, carefully programmed lighting transitions, colour palettes and laser choreography evolved through multiple visual scenes, creating an immersive experience that highlighted the sculpture while complementing the artistic narrative of the wider festival.

Delivery Highlights 

• Complete lighting and laser design.
• Fully timecoded lighting and playback control.
• ChamSys lighting console programming.
• QLab playback and synchronisation.
