After the stage and award ceremony where the winners are given their winner kits containing hardcover yearbook, framed certificate, their trophies as well as a special gifts package containing for example notebooks, pens, gold desk flag, laureates are asked to come back to stage for a group photo. After the group photo, laureates are guided to vastier where they can leave their winner kits (they are big and heavy) so that their hand can be liberated and ready to shake hands. Winners are then guided to exhibition area, the exhibition is called the World Design Exhibition and every year it features thousands of designs, with a dedicated screen featuring tens of thousands of designs from also past editions of the A' Design Award, where winning designs, products, projects, services, concepts and ideas from almost all countries are showcased to attending guests. In addition to large digital displays, we also have an outstanding selection of physical objects, winner products, packaging designs, prototypes and precious pieces that you can experience and enjoy. The ambient is most excellent with live classical music playing while guests enjoy fine Italian drinks and food, talk and connect with each other.

In practice, we have a special screen, distinct from other screens in the event, to which a laptop is connected. Within this laptop, we have prepared a unique screen presentation for all our laureates, where their works are visible in screen. When you enter the A' Design Award, after presenting your exclusive invitation, you are given Welcome Envelopes. Within your welcome envelopes, you will find your gala night and awards ceremony badge.

Presenting this to our team at the A' Design Award’s World Design Exhibition, you can have our team members find your special bespoke screen presentation showcasing your design and they can make it full screen. Then we have also prepared a setting where there is a backdrop and winner signage, i.e. we have prepared a little stage and setting where you can have your photo (while you are in Gala Night’s black-tie attire be it tuxedo or cocktail dress) taken with your winning design (if the winning design is in a public category and if you had provided us with a license to prepare and showcase your design).
