The brief
Oracle OpenWorld is one of the world’s largest conferences, with more than 60,000 attendees and 6,500 vendors across San Francisco. Its conference team markets to more than 15 key partner sponsors on top of 200 major sponsors.
As the conference tripled in size and absorbed new sub-conferences, Oracle needed a reliable partner to document every element of the production.
Our approach
As the primary photography studio, Orange captured every custom-produced element of OpenWorld and JavaOne for portfolio and catalog use. As part of exhibitor services, we also photographed registered exhibitors and the ancillary, awards and incentive events across the city, ready for last-minute requests.
