From the first panel going up, to the final piece coming down, the Chalet at AAD 2026 was the result of an incredible team effort.

A huge thank you to all the Safomar companies, our principals, partners and clients who contributed to making AAD 2026 such a successful and memorable event.

But most importantly, thank you to the Safomar staff who gave so much of their time and energy before, during and after the show. From early mornings and late nights to the smallest finishing touches, every detail mattered, and your dedication made it all come together.

The chalet may be packed away, but the connections made, milestones celebrated and memories created at AAD 2026 will stay with us.

To everyone who played a part, thank you. This was a true Safomar team effort.
