Right on Target


It is a recent yet recurring trend with the hospitality industry, to host consecutive events,  selling space from one company to another in the same day it surly is twice the revenue to the venue but what does this result in? Well, it results in a rather tight squeeze, in setup time for the AV Production and staging team... not to mention rehearsals and execution of events!

This is what happened with the very recent event a 3 day Sales workshop at Hyatt Dubai The hotel had been double booked and that moved our setup time from earlier in the day to very late that evening, even though we got the short end of the straw did we prove our mettle?

With an access time of 18:00hrs and every crew had one eye on the clock and the other on the task at hand, while we were unfurling our kit in almost a jig saw fashion the client had both their eyes on the entire crew playing the only game that was possible at that moment in time 'wondering, waiting, watching.' the crew, sure took this in their stride and worked beautifully, the setup almost had a serenade of perfection that resounded within the walls of the room. Much to the clients delight, the team show ready for rehearsals at 21:30hrs... and we were Right On Target!!!  I couldn't have been any prouder of my team that at that moment; when I caught a glint of appreciation in the eye of the client and heard them appreciate the omph and punch from the sound kit they requested for from the beginning  

With smooth flawless operations from Prince and Micheal this is what makes a happy crew and happy client, it is mutual appreciation and regards for both, that by far is the best way to bring an event to a close. The client was only too happy to pen down their satisfaction at the end of the event. 

Hi Neomi, 
Prince and Michael was awesome to work with.

Hi Neomi,
Big thanks to you, Dion and your team. The setup/rehearsals and on event support were absolutely flawless, and it was a pleasure working with you on this project! :)


That being said it still is only half the story we would not have been able to achieve this perfection if we dint have the staging division to back us up Richard, Silva, Lal, in the wings to create a brilliant water tight backdrop, in off-white that bought an understated exquisiteness and life into a rather heavy room who's only decor was in the colours of beige & mahogany.

A big Thank You to Dion and operations for orchestrating a smooth transition and logistics for this event, thank you for making me proud.

The International Education Show held in Sharjah was almost a replication of the similar one ALMOE assisted at NAJA in Abu Dhabi. The show was similar in its content and aimed at a similar audience demographic of higher school & collage students. 
The exhibition by large enamored several higher education institutions from all over the world, encompassing universities, colleges, business schools, medical schools, tertiary institutions, distance learning institutes. 

The International Education Show (IES) has managed to carve a niche for itself in the highly competitive market giving it a sturdy platform to reach out to young minds opening new windows to the world of higher education.  



It has prompted more and more global educational institutions to enter the region The Show was to take all young citizens it its grasp of nurturing information, enhancing exploration, and ALMOE was there in a small but sure way to assist.
