Organizing this large-scale event across multiple Las Vegas venues requires significant coordination among hundreds of AWS employees, each with distinct plans for presentations, booth spaces, and demo showcases. To effectively highlight solutions and industries within the re:Invent Expo, AWS teams often seek support from creative services agencies like 900lbs for developing compelling demos.
Building on the success of delivering multiple interactive experiences for AWS re:Invent 2023, 900lbs partnered with AWS again for the 2024 event. We collaborated with five business units to create innovative and engaging storytelling demos that showcased their specific areas within AWS. Our process involved working closely with each unit to understand their objectives and goals for re:Invent 2024.
The City of Katy, Texas, launched a project to redesign its Visitors Center in Downtown Katy, aiming to provide an engaging and informative experience for visitors to their historic and rapidly growing community. To lead this initiative, the City partnered with Innovative Environments, who set out to incorporate an intuitive, interactive experience within the new Center, designed to highlight the city’s attractions, historical landmarks, and upcoming events. A key requirement for the solution was ease of management, allowing City staff to dynamically update map results and other content. Additionally, the interactive displays needed to align seamlessly with the Visitors Center’s bold and vibrant new interior design.
900lbs collaborated with Procom Audio Visual and Innovative Environments to create an impactful interactive experience for visitors to the City of Katy. Our Team designed and developed visual content and software development for 136” and 65” touch screens within the environment. We also produced a multi-platform solution that is displayed on iPad stations around the Center.
Treeline is Hillwood Communities’ new DFW master-planned community with a planned 2,700 homes nestled amidst the serene allure of rural Denton County, just minutes away from the thriving AllianceTexas corridor, in Justin, TX. Hillwood wanted viewers to immerse themselves in the community, exploring the amenities and features that make Treeline and Hillwood Communities best-in-class. This experience would drive engagement and excitement around the new Treeline Community currently in development.
AHB also had plans to produce an event onsite, on the ground, at the future Treeline site in Justin that would unveil the new community to attendees. Beyond the event, they sought a scalable solution that could also be utilized at meetings and other venues. The objective being to drive leads to explore Treeline and ultimately decide to build and/or purchase a house in Treeline.
AHB reached out to 900lbs to partner with them to create an interactive mixed reality experience on both the Apple Vision Pro headset, the latest innovation in Mixed Reality, and the iPad Pro (iPad OS).
