For Global Citizen NOW 2026, Collab. led the design and creative development of an entirely new main stage environment from the ground up. Departing from previous years, which adapted and evolved an existing scenic framework, the 2026 summit offered an opportunity to establish a completely new visual language for the event.
Designed to support a dynamic program of conversations, performances, presentations, and major announcements, the stage balanced a bold architectural identity with the flexibility required for a live, broadcast-focused environment. From initial concept and spatial development through detailing, fabrication coordination, and installation, Collab. helped translate the Global Citizen brand into a physical environment built specifically for the 2026 summit.
