NATO (National Atlantic Treaty Organization) commemorated its 75th anniversary of the Alliance in Washington, D.C. where the North Atlantic Treaty — NATO’s founding document — was originally signed in 1949. Its annual summit is paramount for bringing together nations, leaders, and ideas to help ensure security, defense, and democracy across the world.

Historically our team has provided AV and broadcast services, but this year Freeman stepped in to elevate the NATO Summit with design direction, engineering expertise, and concept execution that involved design and collaboration across four different facilities in four different cities.

“The NATO summit was as near perfection as one can get with these types of events.”

– government official who partnered with Freeman team

Bringing this incredible event from concept to reality included:

• A Memorable first impression: Large feature walls and interactive touch screens in the entry/lobby displayed 75 years of NATO history

• Fully custom structures that looked like permanent installations including a 75-foot table fit for the President and all attending global leaders

• An engineered and designed council room with digitally interactive features and lighting effects

• More than 150 cameras broadcasting the spectacular event across the globe
