JOHN DEERE UNIVERSITY BI Worldwide:
Moline, IL
For the John Deere University Event in Moline Illinois we partnered with BI Worldwide to create a solution that was multi-faceted, comprehensive and technology oriented. Evolving from the meeting theme “Circle Your Productivity” our team developed the concept of a projection mapped “silo” built within the venue to house the work sessions while product displays and dining took place on the surrounding arena floor. Real Live Pros
engineered and built the non-traditional truss structure and crafted the PolyGal silo panels that formed the 360 degree illuminated display surface. Soft content and lighting was projected all around the attendees with multiple hi res projection screens for content floated within.
