ADCO Awards 2010
This was the second year in succession that we have organized and managed the Abu Dhabi Company for Offshore Oil Operations (ADCO)’s Annual Staff Long Service Awards at the Intercontinental Hotel, in Abu Dhabi, an event held for 400 awardees, their families and VIPs.

Al Kout Mall Festival of the Sea
As part of a government initiative to attract investment into a region of Kuwait with a traditional history of being the primary dhow wharfage and fresh fish distribution centre, Tamdeen Development created a new mall called Al Kout, for which we were recruited to manage the opening launch.
We were responsible for:
• Concept creation and event design
• Turnkey event management of the mall’s opening launch activities
We created a theme based around a “Festival of the Sea” with a unique stage show and a week of carnival activities in and around the mall, designed to attract visitors from the local area and Kuwait City. This prestigious and memorable event was a huge success and is still recalled to this day as one of the most spectacular to be brought to the country.
Event Information
The venue featured a new harbour and marina which was modified for the week with a floating stage, full light and sound systems, inflatable sets, water screens, water curtains and pyrotechnics for the show. We designed the entire show, which was then choreographed and rehearsed with performers from the UK along with specially designed costumes, and brought the entire production to Kuwait.
The sets were giant inflatables that could be collapsed within a few seconds to allow clear vision for the water screens behind. The highlights of the show were the aerial performances as a ‘scuba diver’ appeared to swim through space, descend to the stage and carry away a acrobat who then performed a stunning aerial circus show 30 meters above the audience.
The finale was a synchronized, four-person, aerial silk act that stunned the audience at every performance. Additional aspects created for the event included a series of floats depicting underwater scenes, giant inflatable sea creatures, flags and decorations, and a series of beach activities such as displays from leading jet-ski and waterskiing teams. At night, the whole centre was illuminated with architectural lighting and thousands of twinkling lights on the palm trees lining the front of the mall.

ADCO Awards Ceromony 2009
Our first job for Abu Dhabi Company for Offshore Oil Operations (ADCO) was to organize all elements of their annual staff long service awards at the Intercontinental Hotel, Abu Dhabi in November 2008.
The challenge was to provide sufficient and elegant seating within the main ballroom for some 300 staff awardees and their families. We created tiered seating down the sides of the hall for the awardees and theatre style seating with accompanying coffee tables in the middle for the VIP guests and the awardees’ families. We themed and decorated the entire ballroom using the UAE national colours and provided seat-back ribbons for the sit-down dinner in the adjacent ballroom after the ceremony.
As well as providing all effect lighting, AV equipment and technical support for the event, we also provided a revolving, 3-D ADCO logo which was mounted on the projector tower, thus creating a decorative feature out of a necessary piece of technical equipment.

Spirit of the Horse
In 2003, we brought the largest equestrian variety show to the UAE as part of the Dubai Shopping Festival celebrations. Spirit of the Horse is one of the most successful touring shows in the UK, and the logistics required to bring it to Dubai were enormous, including chartering two specially configured Boeing747 jumbo jets to transport the 45 horses and their grooms from Europe. Special quarantine stables had to be created behind the actual performance site to allow the animals entry into the UAE.
The event took place in a 3500-seat, ‘equestrian theatre’, big-top marquee, located on an open site close to Wafi City. We planned and implemented the entire site, from access to car parking, ticket offices to refreshment areas, VIP majlis to concessions.
We broke new ground by devising the first-ever branding campaign in the arrivals area of the Dubai International Airport, with event posters on the front of every passport control desk. Spirit of the Horse was the most attended event of the Dubai Shopping Festival that year, despite the outbreak of the second Gulf War and a corresponding drop in tourist traffic.
