DUBAI, UAE — Creative Technology (CT) has been awarded the ‘Best Video Solution of the Year’ at the Middle East Event Show (MEES) Awards 2026, held at Madinat Jumeirah, in recognition of its work on the UAE’s 54th Eid Al Etihad celebrations. The award recognizes CT’s contribution to one of the UAE’s most significant national productions, which brought together three major milestones: the country’s 54th National Day celebration, the opening of the Zayed National Museum, and the debut performance of the UAE National Orchestra. Produced by People&Co on behalf of the National Projects Office, the ceremony brought technology, architecture, and storytelling together on a monumental scale, presenting a technically ambitious environment that demanded precision, innovation, and close collaboration across every aspect of the production.
Creative Technology delivered the video, lighting, and integrated networks infrastructure, working within a purpose-built sunken stage positioned directly in front of the newly opened Zayed National Museum. With a seven-meter void below ground level, the production extended vertically from underground cast entrances and staged reveals to the soaring architecture of the museum above. The scale and complexity required CTME’s teams to engineer a technical solution capable of supporting the creative vision while integrating seamlessly into the surrounding environment.
