The story
A project worth looking at properly.
On 15 September 2024, the Arora Ballroom at InterContinental London - The O2 was transformed into a world-class awards gala environment for Dalmia Cement's RCF Excellence Awards. Kudos AV delivered the complete end-to-end production for 808 guests across 101 round tables, one of the most ambitious corporate awards productions we have delivered in London.
The brief called for a seamless fusion of London prestige and Indian cultural identity. A panoramic LED backdrop spanning the full width of the stage anchored the room visually, while a bespoke scenic design of eleven themed installations and activations created a layered, immersive guest experience from the moment of arrival through to the final award presentation.
Every department was coordinated by a single production team. From the custom entrance arch greeting guests on arrival to the animated London skyline content rolling behind each award category, every element was designed, built and delivered entirely by Kudos AV.

Stage and LED Production
Engineering a panoramic stage at The O2
The centrepiece of the production was a panoramic LED configuration built across the full width of the Arora Ballroom stage. A large centre LED wall anchored the design, flanked by symmetrical side screens to create a seamless widescreen canvas visible from every one of the 101 round tables across the room.
Animated London skyline content was created specifically for the event, running throughout reception and dinner before transitioning to the gold and black awards branding for the ceremony itself. Every content cue, from animated transitions to spotlight moments, was coordinated live from the production desk by the Kudos AV show caller.
The stage was a bespoke build with a custom runway extending into the room and bespoke stepped access, creating a cinematic presentation moment for every award recipient. The entire stage environment, LED, runway and stepped access, was conceived, built and operated as one unified visual system.
