Each year, the Construction Confederation organizes a Forum for the construction professionals before the opening of  Batibouw Fair.

Innovation, creativity, ingenuity and technology progresses were the key-subjects of the Forum this year.

d-side made a point of honor of developing this thematic in the stage design, thanks to illustrating videos, creative keynote and the several technological interactions during the speakers’ presentations.

The Forum Construction “Innovate to grow” 2012 colored a present assessment of innovation in the construction industry and throws an optimistic glance of his future.

Carrefour Belgium as well as numerous exhibitors congratulated d-side team for the professional organization.

The Summer Fair of Carrefour is the sixth successful collaboration between Carrefour and d-side, whose missions were to coordinate the event both on the commercial relationship with exhibitors and the overall operational, creative and technical execution of the fair. The End Year edition is foreseen in September and will be organized by d-side.

Besides the logistical and technical support was d-side responsible for the ‘googly’ look and feel of the press launch.

Wide ranges of press (television reporters, national & international newspapers) were present.

D-side is proud to say that this was another successful collaboration with Google that contributes to a continuation of future projects!

d-side proposed the theme ‘Jump’, as that is the way to unleash free energy – a way to change territory – as the small step which is the beginning of a longer journey. Supported with Cedric Dumont (the skydiver) as keynote, the message became clear to the audience.

The Gold Hall of Square was the place where it all happened on Thursday 26th of January. 1100 guests were immersed by several presentations during a very dynamic presentation, all of this hosted by Virginie Claes.

Questions could be asked with a newly developed online, but closed, tool.

Thanks to the in-house talents of stand – promo – graphic & event, it became a great success.

And the DJ … Well, let’s keep it on ‘a long night’

d-side was responsible for the study days (booking of flights, hotels, venues, … in view of durability)  in Austria and Denmark. These were followed by peer review sessions in Belgium with participation of representatives from Catalonia, The Netherlands and UK.  The last part of the assignment was the organization of a 2 conference (with the presence of Minister Freya Van den Bossche) to announce the results of the study days and peer reviews.

Sustainability was one of the prior elements of the project. So all the guests stayed at eco-labeled hotels, the conferences took place in a sustainable venue and the catering was also eco-friendly.

SOLUTION
Our web department analysed how the content could better be displayed and proposed a new ergonomic and well-structured lay out. To make the content more dynamic, different media have been inserted – videos, pictures, 360° pictures,… but also dynamic display ideas such as a scroll time-line, slide shows, etc. To have a more important presence on the web, social media have not been forgotten: creation of a Facebook page, a Twitter account, and a You Tube channel. Finally it is now also possible to buy tickets online, a great tool to give the visitors a more enjoyable experience.

Following this first project, Thales IFE took the decision to integrate gesture recognition into the overall passenger travelling experience. This pioneering step required us to find a robust way to take control of their existing Graphic User Interface through gesture control.

Solution

Brandfirst designed a new way to control the Thales Media Player. Seated comfortably seated in a premium environment (6 feet from the screen), the user is given the option to control the entire user interface by simple hand gestures. With a simple movement, the user can visit the movie or music library and choose relevant content. It’s so easy to use, intuitive and a cool new experience for premium passengers.
