OP3 Global for Qatar Tourism
THE CHALLENGE
DisplayWise was approached by OP3 with a brief for their client, Qatar Tourism, that pushed the boundaries of innovation and production. The design provided aimed to create an experience that reflected the sophistication and elegance of visiting Qatar during the AIME 2023 Exhibition.
AIME is the premier trade event for the meetings and events industry in the Asia Pacific region, and this year’s 30th-anniversary event was held at the MCEC. It was crucial for Qatar Tourism to maximize its brand position during this event with an exceptional display to solidify the country as a premier event destination.
OP3 and DisplayWise collaborated for the first time to design the global Qatar Tourism stand, with some modifications needed to meet Australian building standards. Achieving the technically complex aspects of the captivating curved design required a high level of skill and attention to detail. The execution of the stand to such quality and scale in an international market was challenging, but a strong and dependable partnership was formed and delivered outstanding results.

THE Solution
The DisplayWise team were dedicated in their approach to refining the design to meet local requirements without compromising the fundamental structure or cultural elements. Brand presence throughout the stand was displayed in many impressive formats, including illuminated logos, custom fabrics, vinyl and laser-cut acrylic texts. Additionally, multiple screens were incorporated, including a 5x2m overhead curved screen that showcased bursts of images and quotes related to the “Visit Qatar” campaign.
A bold and technically complex curved façade housed a private meeting area and Majilis room, complete with chandelier, middle eastern dates, and golden framed portraits as per customary requirements. Effective communication between OP3 and DisplayWise facilitated the translation of these intricate and crucial details, surrounding any geographical barriers that may have existed. Highly skilled DisplayWise craftsmen showcased their technical expertise during the construction, to achieve flawless 3D curved structures. Glass doors with frosted panelling provided privacy to these meeting rooms, with the doors built on multiple 9-degree angles to align with the façade.
To attain a smooth and seamless finish, high-quality paint coatings were applied on-site once the components were assembled. Typically this process is done offsite, with panels and components of the stand being painted and finished before being transported to the exhibition site for assembly. DisplayWise departed from the conventional approach and elevated this process to achieve a remarkably polished appearance.
The stand included multiple versatile meeting areas featuring custom upholstered banquette seating areas with hidden lockable storage areas, all installed on top of plush broadloom carpeting. The banquette cushions were custom designed from locally sourced velvet, adding a touch of opulence for visitors to the stand. OP3 collaborated with DisplayWise to ensure that the Qatar Tourism brand colours were translated accurately throughout the stand, with close attention paid to sourcing finishes, including this custom fabric, in the brand Pantone colours.
DisplayWise ensured the stand was well-equipped to cater to the global audience by providing double power and USB outlets. Additionally, power adaptors were supplied to ensure that even the most well-travelled visitor’s phone was charged, enabling them to capture the amazing networking backdrop and prepare for scheduled meetings.
DisplayWise’s exceptional market-leading service and support played a pivotal role in the success of the project, as they were responsible for sourcing and installing the bespoke custom elements showcased throughout the stand. The highly experienced team’s exceptional ability to meet unique requirements was a critical factor in the stunning final outcome.
