Student Mijeong Lee developed a process for transferring images onto cement. Concerned with how Australia deals with refugee children, she used t images of babies. She originally proposed tiling the entire foyer of ACCA with her hand made tiles.

Student Adam Paikos assisted chef George Calombaris to develop a menu for the evening. Working from his kitchen, LAB, Calombaris developed a number of sample dishes prepared with his molecular gastronomy technique. They included the unusual blending of jellies, foods from his childhood as well as binding, freezing, carbonate processes. The vial of gin and tonic jelly is an example of a dish served by Calombaris.

On the evening, Mijeong Lee's small concrete tiles were used as tabletops for the vodka, wine and champagne tables. Calombaris was placed in the foyer, where he created a number of dishes that were sampled at his workstation. In addition, German lighting fixture company, Zumtobel Staff, furnished a sample of their Active Light wall system. From this LED fixture an illumination of red, green and blue was preprogramed to give multiple blends of colour throughout the evening.
