Dayforce Summit 2026
Challenge
Creative Hire partnered with Dayforce to deliver the Dayforce Summit 2026 at Hilton Hotel Sydney, requiring the delivery of a multi-zone sponsor and feature build within a high-profile, high-expectation environment.
The objective was to showcase how Dayforce helps organisations unlock capacity, become more agile, and drive meaningful business outcomes through intelligent workforce technology. The physical environment
needed to reflect this positioning by feeling modern, seamless, and premium, while supporting strong engagement across sponsors, activations, and attendees.
The challenge lay in translating a complex program of multiple feature zones into one cohesive exhibition floorplan, all within strict venue requirements and a fast-paced installation schedule. Every element needed to balance functionality, brand consistency, and elevated design, while ensuring smooth attendee flow and clear visibility across all activation spaces.
Each element played an important role in elevating the attendee experience — guiding entry, anchoring the event space, and ensuring the Disrupting Traditions brand was represented in a way that felt contemporary, credible, and memorable.
