The Challenge
Atlas Copco — the Swedish-headquartered global industrial group — needed a leadership forum in Seoul that would bring together APAC regional executives for multi-day strategic alignment. The brief required a production partner that could simultaneously handle (a) premium stage and spatial design reflecting a Fortune-500-grade global brand, (b) bilingual (English / Korean) run-of-show execution, (c) video content that could be shared across APAC markets post-event, and (d) flawless technical operation across multiple sessions. The client required one accountable partner — not a patchwork of vendors.
REFAD's Approach
- Unified in-house team — planning, design, video, technical production, and IT/web all delivered by a single REFAD team, removing vendor coordination overhead for the client's global events lead.
- 3D-visualized stage proposal — proposed stage and spatial concepts rendered in Rhino + KeyShot + Enscape before construction, so decision-makers in Sweden and Korea could align with confidence.
- Bilingual run-of-show — English-medium cue sheets and Korean operational briefings, with simultaneous interpretation-ready booth and audio routing.
- Content production in parallel — opening VCR, highlight reel, and interview content shot and edited on a timeline that allowed same-week APAC-wide rollout.
- On-site command — dedicated PM, technical director, and floor managers deployed from REFAD's in-house technical division.
Delivered Scope — End-to-End
REFAD operated every workstream below under a single PM and a single contract. No travel agent, no separate ground transport operator, no AV vendor coordination on the client's side.
Accommodation & Hotel
Hotel block negotiation, room assignments by hierarchy, VIP suites, check-in/out coordination.
Travel & Airport Transfers
Inbound flight coordination, airport pickups by tier, multi-country arrival manifest.
Shuttle Operations
Hotel ↔ venue shuttle scheduling, real-time dispatch, manifest reconciliation against the run-of-show.
Stage & Spatial Design
Main stage concept, LED scenic, signage, delegate zones, backstage, networking spaces — all 3D-rendered before construction.
On-site Technical Systems
Sound, lighting, LED walls, camera switching, live broadcast feed, simultaneous interpretation routing, rehearsals.
Branding & Key Visual
Event identity, key visual, signage system, delegate kits, on-site collateral aligned with global brand standards.
Content & Video Production
Opening VCR, highlight reel, executive interviews, post-event sketch film — shot and edited in parallel for same-week APAC rollout.
Bilingual On-site Operations
English run-of-show and cue sheets, Korean operational briefings, dedicated PM and floor managers, single point of accountability.
Outcome
The MVI Bootcamp ran to Atlas Copco's global quality standards under a single point of accountability. Delegates arrived from multiple APAC countries, moved through hotel and venue on a coordinated schedule, and left with a shareable highlight reel produced and delivered the same week. The post-event sketch video became reusable APAC collateral. The engagement now serves as our reference case for multinational industrial clients evaluating Seoul as an APAC forum hub — and for global events leads who want one accountable partner instead of a vendor matrix.
