World Governments Summit 2026

We collaborated once again with the UAE Prime Minister’s Office on a series of films for the World Governments Summit 2026 in Dubai.

The creative direction was built around a simple but powerful idea: conversation shapes the future. We used quotation marks as a bold visual motif and transition device, guiding viewers seamlessly between moments, themes, and perspectives.

The hero film, "The Power of Conversation", weaves together archival footage of historic speeches and pivotal turning points where words shifted the course of history. Intercut with voices from previous WGS speakers, the film builds momentum toward the year ahead, blending curated archive material with bespoke 2D and 3D animation and striking kinetic typography.

We’re grateful for the continued trust of the PMO team and proud to have helped shape the visual language of this year’s summit.

As always, working on these films allows us to listen to some of the world’s brightest minds. We can only hope that at least a drop of that wisdom has stayed with us.
