Project Scope: Event Construction, Stage Building, SEG Graphics, Branding, Signage, Partner Lounges and Conference Infrastructure
Introduction: Building the Spaces Behind a Global Gathering
When global business leaders, policymakers and innovators come together to discuss the future of the world economy, the environment in which those conversations take place matters just as much as the conversations themselves.
Held from 13–15 October 2026 at The Leela Palace and Taj Palace in Chanakyapuri, New Delhi, the Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2026 brought together influential voices from government, business, finance and technology. The gathering featured prominent leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bloomberg Founder Michael R. Bloomberg, alongside international delegates and senior industry representatives.
For an event of this scale, every element of the venue needed to work together—from the main entrance and branded installations to conference stages, partner lounges, media rooms and hospitality spaces.
Axis Designers contributed to the event through extensive construction, fabrication, branding and graphics work across key areas of the venues. The scope covered multiple levels and functional spaces, with a focus on translating the event's requirements into well-executed physical environments.
From prominent entrance installations to the smallest wayfinding details, the project demonstrated the importance of precision, coordination and attention to detail in large-scale corporate event construction.
1. Main Entrance Installations: Creating a Strong First Impression
The entrance was one of the most prominent areas of the event, setting the tone for delegates and guests as they arrived.
Axis Designers constructed raised plinths to support vintage cars displayed on either side of the main entrance. These custom-built platforms provided a stable, defined base for the vehicles and helped establish a distinctive arrival experience.
Bloomberg branding was also incorporated into the entrance environment, ensuring that the event identity remained visible from the moment guests approached the venue.
A prominent fabric-covered structural wall served
as a key visual feature of the entrance. Its scale and positioning helped establish a strong architectural presence while creating an impactful branded backdrop.
For international forums and corporate events, entrance construction involves more than creating a visually appealing installation. It requires careful consideration of structural stability, placement, visitor movement and the relationship between the installation and the surrounding architecture.
The entrance installations at the Bloomberg New Economy Forum reflected these requirements, combining custom fabrication with event branding to create a cohesive arrival environment.
2. Conference Stage Construction: Creating a Platform for Global Conversations
A conference stage is one of the most important functional elements of a high-profile business forum. It must support presentations, panel discussions and formal proceedings while providing a polished visual setting for speakers and audiences.
At the Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2026, Axis Designers constructed stages in two key settings: the main ballroom and the terrace area used for the gala dinner.
Main Ballroom Stage
The ballroom stage was designed to support formal meetings, conferences and discussions involving senior delegates and business leaders.
The construction work formed the physical foundation of the conference environment, with the stage integrated into the wider setup of graphics and event branding.
For a forum of this stature, stage construction requires attention to dimensions, visibility, access, equipment integration and the overall presentation of the space. Every component must serve its purpose without compromising the experience of the audience.
Terrace Gala Dinner Stage
The terrace gala dinner required a separate stage setup suited to the evening's hospitality and networking environment.
Axis Designers constructed the stage and supported the surrounding event setup with graphics and branding elements, helping establish a defined focal point for the gathering.
The transition between conference environments and hospitality spaces demonstrates the range of considerations involved in multi-format event construction. While a conference stage prioritizes presentations and discussions, a gala dinner stage must also complement the atmosphere and spatial arrangement of the evening.
Together, the two stage installations formed an important part of the event's infrastructure.
3. SEG Graphics: Delivering Consistent Event Branding
Graphics played a significant role across the Bloomberg New Economy Forum venues. Axis Designers executed SEG graphics for designated event areas, supporting the visual identity of the forum across multiple installations.
SEG, or Silicone Edge Graphics, is a display system in which printed fabric graphics are finished with a silicone edge that fits into a compatible frame. The result is a clean, tensioned graphic surface commonly used for branded walls, backdrops and architectural display applications.
For large-scale events, SEG graphics can provide several advantages:
Clean presentation: Tensioned fabric creates a smooth display surface with minimal visible framing.
Consistent branding: Logos, messaging and visual elements can be reproduced across multiple event locations.
Flexible applications: SEG systems can be used for feature walls, display structures, media backdrops and designated branded spaces.
Professional finish: The system helps create visually consistent installations suitable for conferences and corporate environments.
At the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, the graphics work formed part of a wider execution scope that included entrance features, conference stages, branded areas and partner spaces.
The objective was to ensure that the visual identity of the event remained consistent across its different environments while complementing the architecture and function of each space.
4. Bloomberg Branding, Signage and Wayfinding
At an international forum spread across multiple floors and venues, effective signage is essential. Delegates need to locate conference rooms, partner lounges, meeting areas and hospitality facilities without unnecessary confusion.
Axis Designers executed branding and signage installations across key areas of the event, supporting both the visual presentation and practical navigation of the venues.
The scope included branded graphics, directional signage and wayfinding elements placed in designated locations throughout the event spaces.
Directional Signage and Lattice Partitions
In areas near the restaurant and partner meeting spaces, Axis Designers created brown lattice partitions that helped define separate areas and guide movement through the venue.
These installations served a functional purpose by helping distinguish spaces while maintaining a coordinated visual appearance.
For corporate events, partitions and wayfinding elements must be planned together. The placement of a partition can influence circulation, visibility and the way guests perceive adjoining spaces. Integrating these elements into the wider design helps create a more organized environment.
Event Posters and Branding
Posters, graphic panels and branded installations helped maintain the forum's visual identity across the venues.
Rather than treating each installation as an isolated element, the branding and signage formed part of a coordinated event environment. This approach is especially important when several functional areas need to communicate the same identity while serving different purposes.
5. Partner Lounges and Meeting Rooms: Creating Dedicated Spaces
Partner lounges and private meeting rooms are essential components of business forums, providing dedicated environments for networking, discussions and meetings between participating organizations.
At the Bloomberg New Economy Forum, Axis Designers carried out branding work for partner rooms, including designated spaces on the second floor.
The work included branded installations, signage and lattice elements that helped establish distinct environments for different partner areas.
Each partner space needed to be identifiable while remaining consistent with the broader event identity. Clear signage and coordinated branding supported this requirement, helping delegates recognize the intended spaces and navigate the venue.
Custom Partitions and Feature Installations
In addition to partner lounge branding, Axis Designers constructed several elements that helped define and enhance specific meeting areas.
These included a flower-wall partition structure with associated branding, custom stands and stools for designated partner meeting spaces, and planter installations incorporated into the wider setup.
The project also included a retail-wall structure and the construction of two media-room structures with false ceilings.
These elements illustrate the range of work involved in preparing a venue for a complex corporate event. Beyond the principal stages, functional infrastructure and smaller custom-built installations are important in making different areas usable, organized and visually cohesive.
6. Lecterns, Podiums and Functional Event Infrastructure
While stages and branded walls often attract the most attention, a successful conference also depends on the smaller infrastructure required for presentations and formal proceedings.
Axis Designers supplied lecterns and podiums for the event, supporting the practical requirements of speakers and presenters.
These elements need to be positioned and finished appropriately for the setting in which they are used. Their appearance must complement the stage design, while their placement must support the presentation format and the movement of speakers.
The lecterns and podiums formed part of the broader construction and setup scope, contributing to the functional readiness of the conference spaces.
Other custom-built elements, including display stands and furniture for designated meeting areas, further supported the requirements of the multi-space event.
7. Multi-Level Event Execution Across Two Prestigious Venues
One of the defining aspects of the Bloomberg New Economy Forum project was the breadth of the execution scope.
The work extended beyond a single stage or exhibition area to include installations across multiple levels, meeting spaces, branded zones and hospitality settings.
From the entrance installations and ballroom stage to terrace gala dinner infrastructure, second-floor partner lounges, media rooms and directional signage, each area had its own requirements.
Delivering this variety of work calls for careful coordination between fabrication, graphics production, installation and the practical needs of the event schedule.
The construction elements also need to work within existing hotel interiors, respecting access requirements and the intended function of each space.
For Axis Designers, the project represented an opportunity to contribute to a complex international gathering through a combination of custom fabrication, event branding and functional infrastructure.
8. India's Growing Role in Global Business Events
International business forums provide an important platform for countries to strengthen economic relationships, encourage investment and bring decision-makers together.
The Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2026 in New Delhi placed India at the center of conversations involving global business, government and industry leaders.
Hosting a gathering of this nature also highlights the importance of the country's event infrastructure and the capabilities required to support international conferences.
Behind a successful event are numerous practical considerations: venue preparation, stage construction, branding, graphics, signage, meeting-room infrastructure and the coordination of different spaces into one coherent experience.
Projects of this scale demonstrate why experienced event construction and fabrication partners are important to the wider events ecosystem.
For Axis Designers, contributing to the Bloomberg New Economy Forum added another significant project to its portfolio of event infrastructure, branded environments and custom-built installations.
It also reflects the range of execution capabilities required for events that combine formal conferences, partner meetings and hospitality experiences within a single programme.
9. Axis Designers: Event Construction, Branding and Custom Fabrication
Axis Designers works across event environments that require a combination of construction, fabrication, branding and on-site execution.
The Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2026 project brought together several of these capabilities within one coordinated scope.
From raised entrance plinths and structural feature walls to conference stages, SEG graphics, signage, partner lounge branding, lecterns and media-room construction, the work covered both prominent visual installations and essential functional elements.
Each component played a role in preparing the venues for the demands of a high-profile international event.
For event organizers and agencies, the ability to execute multiple types of installations across different spaces is an important consideration when planning complex programmes. Consistent workmanship, attention to detail and an understanding of how each space will be used all contribute to the final result.
Axis Designers is proud to have contributed to the infrastructure that supported this gathering in New Delhi.
The Bloomberg New Economy Forum 2026 brought influential voices together in New Delhi for discussions on the global economy and the forces shaping its future.
Behind the event was an extensive physical environment that needed to support conferences, presentations, partner meetings, media activities and hospitality.
Axis Designers contributed to that environment through stage construction, entrance installations, SEG graphics, branding, signage, partner lounge installations, lecterns and custom-built event infrastructure across key areas of the venues.
The project reflects the importance of combining design intent with practical execution to create spaces that are functional, visually consistent and ready for the demands of an international gathering.
At Axis Designers, we take pride in building the spaces that bring people together, support meaningful conversations and help ambitious events become reality.
