IHS Markit Customer Conferences were a series of global events to promote the firm's solutions as a leading information services provider, with multiple locations including London, New York, Paris, Amsterdam, Frankfurt and Singapore. As Creative Director at IHS Markit, I managed the design direction for these global events to extend the core IHS Markit identity into a unique visual style that could be adapted across the regional event locations. This visual identity was carried across all event touchpoints, from smaller printed and promotional materials through to the design of entire reception desks, walkways, way-finding signage and large-scale stage designs, with close collaboration with product teams to create engaging and emersive product experiences for attendees to partake in.

Attendees to the event were welcomed with a series of 8ft boards highlighting the day's speakers and topics, and guiding them towards the large reception area.

A full-scale reception desk greeted guests as they entered the venue, complete with the custom event branding created using scalable vector graphics for a print-perfect display.

Stage design
