Behind the scenes

If you’re running an event all about the cutting edge, you’d better practise what you preach. Especially when you’re running that event in China – a country that’s innovating digital technology like no other.

At our last event, we made sure Design Shanghai did exactly that. We sent out hologram invitations – that seemed to float above your phone. And at the entrance we built a world first: automated photo gate entry – no badges, no bracelets.

All that plus innovative use of virtual reality, drone video capture and interactive 360° panoramas… oh, and a spectacular 3D dragon projected onto the trees, created with the latest 3D printing and mapping technology.

In 2017, that won us the AEO award for Best Use of Technology – and some delighted gasps, too.
