Creating more excitement through “retailainment”

For the 2019 Supplier Growth Forum, Bluewater faced a unique challenge: create a flexible, innovative space that could accommodate a variety of session types. The goal was to design a multi-functional event space that could easily transform from a large general session to smaller breakout rooms, all while maximizing the available space at the John Q. Hammons Center. The key requirement was that the transformation had to be efficient, requiring minimal effort and time, allowing for the smooth continuation of the event. 

Bluewater deployed a wall-to-wall display canvas that doubled as both a general session stage and separate session rooms. The solution took advantage of the existing air walls in the venue, ensuring minimal disruption while still allowing for maximum functionality. 

Efficient Design for Seamless Transitions

🔄 Transformable Stage and Breakout Rooms 
The design incorporated creative use of space, ensuring that the entire set could be flipped with ease. With minimal rearrangement of stage elements, Bluewater’s solution enabled the venue to transform from a single large session to multiple smaller breakout rooms in just a matter of minutes. This efficient setup saved time and kept the event on schedule. 

Maximized Event Space

📐 Opening Additional Space for Breakouts 
By leveraging the flexibility of the display canvas, Bluewater’s design helped maximize the available space within the venue, ensuring there were enough rooms for all the supplier development sessions without the need for significant rearrangement. 

The end result was a highly efficient, adaptable event space that not only met the logistical needs of the forum but also enhanced the overall experience for attendees. The technology deployment was optimized for use in multiple settings, and the venue’s space was fully utilized for the benefit of all involved. 

Bluewater’s innovative design for the 2019 Supplier Growth Forum transformed the event space into a highly functional and adaptable environment, allowing for a smooth, efficient event experience. The quick transformation of the venue enabled multiple session types to occur simultaneously, ensuring the success of the forum and maximizing the use of the John Q. Hammons Center.
