The Project

Bold Moves.
Built here.

DevCon is the annual conference of the Thurgood Marshall College Fund, bringing together students, alumni, and corporate partners from historically Black colleges and universities. For the 2024 edition at the Hilton Baltimore, EventPro was brought in to fabricate and install all custom scenic elements for the conference.

The scope covered three distinct builds. In the lobby, a large-format dimensional DEV CON letter installation greeted attendees at the door and established the conference identity before they reached registration. At the ballroom entrance, a custom illuminated arch portal marked the arrival into the event space, with graphic-wrapped chevron panels in two treatments lit by integrated LED elements. Inside, the main stage featured a circular "Bold Moves" riser platform, a scenic backdrop with double chevron arrow props, a branded lectern, and panel seating.

Every element was fabricated in EventPro's Maryland shop and installed on site at the Hilton Baltimore. The letter sign, arch structure, stage platform, and furnishings all carried the same graphic language: deep navy, vibrant yellow-green, and the DevCon chevron motif consistent across every surface.

How It Was Built

Three custom builds.
One conference identity.

01
The Lobby Sign
The DEV CON dimensional letter installation met attendees in the Hilton lobby before they reached registration. Built from sanded ply with a yellow-green accent shelf running through the base, it put the conference identity front and center on arrival and gave everyone a natural photo moment on the way in.
02
Entrance Arch Portal
A custom illuminated arch structure marked the entrance to the conference ballroom. The chevron panels came in two graphic treatments: one with integrated blue LED edge lighting, one wrapped in the DevCon yellow and navy palette. Either way, the entry made a statement before anyone walked through it.
03
Main Stage Build
The stage centered on a circular "Bold Moves" riser platform with a flat main deck, a branded lectern, and panel seating provided by EventPro. Behind it, a large scenic backdrop carried the DevCon logo with double chevron arrow props flanking the set on both sides. Every element was finished to the same graphic standard as the lobby and arch.
04
Shop to Stage
All three builds came out of EventPro's Maryland shop. The letter sign, arch panels, stage platform, scenic props, and furnishings were cut, built, and finished under one roof before load-in. On site at the Hilton Baltimore, everything went together clean. The conference opened on time.
