Bringing Plaid's digital-first brand to life for its first-ever in-person keynote

To launch its first-ever in-person keynote in 2026, Plaid partnered with Mantis and Entropico to transform the iconic Cipriani 25 Broadway into an immersive expression of the Plaid brand. Mantis designed the physical space and produced the event from the ground up, bringing Plaid's digital-first identity into the physical world at architectural scale.

Guests experienced the keynote from a custom-designed main stage, uncovered hidden fraud in an interactive UV detection game, and created one-of-a-kind spiral art prints using a larger-than-life custom Spirograph machine. Throughout the venue, projection-mapped brand visuals climbed the cathedral ceilings, bringing Entropico's motion work to life at architectural scale.

From concept through execution, Mantis led every aspect of the production, bringing Plaid's brand to life across every touchpoint.
