SAM GALA 2019

For the awards ceremony attended by more than four hundred guests, among whom are the most eminent representatives from the world of business, management and foundations, we responded to scenographic, technical and programming challenges, and special attention was paid to the elaboration of the concept, because for the first time the eighth SAM Gala had a theme – MANAGER 4.0.

The main stage was conceived as a space with a video wall of seven led screens, which was designed to create a three-dimensional whole. The program was divided into four units, represented by values: reliability, friendship, change and responsibility.

Each unit was accompanied by a change of ambience, a change of colors and effects, and the very act of awarding the award for manager of the year was accompanied by a combination of all four colors, a symbolic synthesis of all values ​​into one.

This year, the “young manager” category was presented through short and cheerful animated films. The films presented the path to success of the nominees, through the vision of the future of their business.

In order to increase the involvement of the audience, live voting was also introduced, through the SliDo application, in the informal categories for Gala Lady and Gala Gentleman of the evening.

The three-hour program was led by actors Srđan Timarov and Jelena Gavrilović, who performed a cover of Sinatra’s famous song “My Way”, the text of which was adapted to the theme of the event. The overall atmosphere was completed by the performances of the attractive electro-string band Alektik.

The event was refreshed with a combination of futurism and elegance that consistently linked the thematic goals and values ​​of the event with the stage audio-visual experience.
