Encore delivers on-brand, high-impact event for OurFutures Institute at Chau Chak Wing Museum

Client: OurFutures Institute
Venue: Chau Chak Wing Museum, University of Sydney
Date: August 2025

Client Objective

The OurFutures Institute aimed to deliver a high-impact launch event focused on vaping prevention education for high-school students across Australia. The event was hosted at the prestigious Chau Chak Wing Museum at the University of Sydney, and the client sought a polished, unique, on-brand experience that would resonate with both students, educators and sector leaders .

Event Execution

Encore was entrusted with the end-to-end service delivery of the event and produced a bespoke design that embraced and adhered to the client’s brand guidelines. This creative solution included on-brand coloured carpets, graphic treated lectern and coffee cart decals, and a striking abstract sculpture made from sustainable materials and curated furniture selection that was reflective of the architectural design of the Chau Chak Wing Museum. All elements aligned with the Institute’s values of modern, fresh, innovative and high-impact.

Technical production was executed with precision. Wireless LED uplighting in brand colours created a vibrant atmosphere, while discreet speaker placement and meticulous cable management ensured compliance with venue requirements and maintained visual aesthetic. Encore managed all audio-visual elements seamlessly, including background music, speaker announcements, and live performances; ensuring smooth transitions and a cohesive ambience throughout the event.

To support post-event marketing, a professional videographer was commissioned to capture key moments such as guest arrivals, panel discussions, and performances. All video footage was provided to the client’s digital marketing team for future use.

Event Impact

The launch welcomed over 100 attendees, including representatives from government and academia. The program featured a media conference, breakfast, panel discussion, and a moving student choir performance. The event was widely praised for its attention to detail and seamless execution, reflecting the client’s vision and values.
