The brief

Aramco brings its Australian-based students together to celebrate graduating from Australian universities. The ceremony had to honour the graduates, keep their families engaged, reach relatives watching from overseas, and show off the very best of Australia.

The goals
  • Put the graduates and their achievements centre stage
  • Stream the ceremony live, so family and colleagues overseas could watch in real time
  • Keep parents and guests engaged from arrival to farewell
  • Showcase luxury Australia through an iconic venue
  • Give the students a proper send-off before they head home
The idea

We built the day around the Opera House and the harbour. Guests moved through a branded foyer of student banners and media walls into a ceremony room framed by an LED wall, where each graduate's name appeared as they crossed the stage. Tables paired Saudi and Australian flags with fresh florals, photo and 360 booths kept families busy between speeches, and then everyone headed out to the steps for the photo.

What we delivered
  • Event management: venue liaison, run sheet and guest flow, with an early-morning bump-in ahead of a late-morning start
  • AV production: LED wall, speeches and presentations, and live streaming of the ceremony
  • Branding and printing: media walls, a pull-up banner for every graduate (theirs to keep), table flags, custom printed cups, yearbooks and goodie-bag pieces
  • Styling: centrepieces with Saudi and Australian flags, LED candles in glass vases on plinths, lamps and arch mirrors
  • Interactive pieces: a 360 video booth and a photo booth with instant prints
  • Photography and videography, including highlight films
  • Cultural catering and drinks
Beyond the graduations

As Aramco's long-standing event partner in Australia, we have also delivered Saudi National Day and Founding Day celebrations, Eid lunches and student welcome events.

The outcome

Students loved it, parents were impressed and the client was delighted, rebooking us for graduation after graduation and for many of their other major events.
