Student imagination. A live celebration.
Future City gives students a chance to imagine how better cities could work. Its annual finals deserve a show that celebrates that imagination.
Working with DoGoodery for DiscoverE, Synchronous helped bring the 2026 Future City Finals Awards to life. Our role connected creative development with live delivery: developing the script and run of show with DoGoodery, producing the opening sizzle and team roll-call video, creating animated show graphics, and coordinating the content with the technical production team.
A visual world built for the show.
Every cue has a place.
Sponsor backdrops, award titles, winner graphics and student model videos had to arrive in the right sequence, across the stage screens and live program. Final judging results flowed into updated lower thirds and team videos on show morning.
With ON Services as our A/V production partner, the show brought hosts, student teams, awards and a cohesive visual world together for the room and livestream.
The celebration belongs to the students.
Beyond show day.
After the event, Synchronous delivered 32 individual award clips, giving the celebration a useful life beyond the live program.
