Two smaller scenes with a span of 12m and 16m respectively, and buildings for over 20 exhibition stands, which stood at the International Congress Center. Multitude of places that served by ARAM and a huge amount of equipment that arrived in 16 trucks meant that this year's Intel Extreme Masters is a big logistical challenge but also a huge success!

At the same stand was used in 1000 meters of trusses and countless number of elements of different types and over 400 LED devices such as wash and strip and illumination. On the two smaller stages were used nearly 70 different types of lighting fixtures, and among them heads such as the Vari * Lite 3500S, Clay Paky sharpy, Fourlight FL-600.
