DevOps World | Jenkins World 2018

While the event was mid-September 2018, we began collaborating with CloudBees in November 2017 on the event brand. We brainstormed on ways to bring their Transform theme to life in a way that would evolve the look from the previous year. After an initial concept phase, we settled on a direction that used bold colors and strong geometric shapes then pulled graphical elements, color palettes, iconography, textures, and image treatments together into a single event brand guide.

The main stage experience began with a looping presentation that played across all three screens, over 130′ wide in total. Unique stage design with multiple depths, including a center stage semi-circle, was designed by Immersive. Each of our presentations and videos was designed to complement that layout. This meant planning the design of each screen and carefully coordinating to ensure everything worked together.

This year we created a video and presentation for each of the four speakers. Each video had a unique tone using inspiration from video games and movie trailers, some light-hearted, some dramatic. They gave the audience a chance to shift their perspective between each of the content-rich presentations.

The presentations that followed were based on the look and feel of their respective opening videos. We worked closely with the presenters and their team to get the content just right for showtime. To support CloudBees for the big event, we sent three members from CGI Interactive on-site to work out any last-minute adjustments with Immersive and each presenter.
