AJMP was contracted to assist Arrow Electronics in bringing their annual summit to life. Arrow Electronics is a global provider of products, services and solutions to industrial and commercial users of electronic components and computer products. http://www.arrow.com We designed a contemporary look for the presentation stage by utilizing modern design elements and shapes. Being that the event was held in Dallas, Texas, our goal was to bring an elegant look to a Texas theme. The stage set incorporated the messaging of the event literature with a team of horses running away with the tag line “Team Up, Take The Lead, Win.”
