Ontic, a leading security software company, teamed up with LetterShop to bring their annual Summit in Austin, Texas to life. This multi-day event featured keynote speeches, breakout sessions, and networking opportunities for security executives from top organizations around the world.

Ontic is a purpose-driven organization, and the annual Summit is a crucial event on their calendar that helps advance their mission of assisting security professionals in working more efficiently, intelligently, and effectively. Ontic organizes this event to engage with their community of industry-leading security and protection experts, offering a platform for collaboration to help build a safer world and grow stronger businesses.

Recognizing the importance of the summit to their mission and strategy, Ontic partnered with LetterShop to continue to push the envelope.

Creating the Ontic experience

The Summit’s audience has grown significantly over the past couple years, leading them to stage ambitious venue takeovers across the Austin metro area, to give attendees a holistic experience. They wanted to immerse their attendees in the Ontic brand, from the registration desk all the way up to the product showcase. To achieve this, they invested in large-scale entrance signage, column wraps with bold messaging, and a statement stage to showcase the Summit’s top speakers and key ideas.

Enabling success through functionality

With growth comes complexity, and guiding attendees through the on-site experience can be challenging. Wayfinding and informational signage is often overlooked, but it is a crucial detail that can make or break the attendee experience. To ensure attendees knew how to navigate the space, Ontic positioned comprehensive agenda signage and wayfinding signage on every floor and hallway throughout the hotel.

Security in real time

Ontic introduced a dedicated product showcase room at the Summit, giving attendees the opportunity to experience Connected Intelligence first-hand by seeing the Ontic platform in action. LetterShop proposed a color-shift, with all signage flipping from a primarily blue color palette to an orange one. By leveraging Ontic’s brand orange, the product showcase felt like stepping from an immersive world of corporate security, to an immersive world of Ontic itself. This color-coding made its way through signage across the venue, lending to even clearer wayfinding. Our team also created an in-depth, fully branded platform demo reel that was featured throughout the product showcase.

Work hard, play hard

Each year, the Summit closes out with the Ontic BOLO Party, a chance for attendees to unwind after three packed days. By using Ontic’s brand colors but adding elements like pattern and a display font, LetterShop gave the BOLO party a unique, sub-branded look. The result maintained a high degree of brand continuity while also feeling fresh and exciting, giving attendees a space to loosen up and have fun.
