In the early 1990s, Alain Gaillard started working as a sound technician on concerts and festivals before taking on the role of  technical coordinator for ECA2 (1996-2000), where he worked on one-off shows (1996 Abu Dhabi Jubilee/Asian Cup, 1998 Soccer World Cup Opening and Closing Ceremonies), as well as permanent installations in theme parks around the world ("Xi Qiao" in China, "Terra Encantada" in Rio de Janeiro), allowing him to extend his technical knowledge to any technic linked to the entertainment industry.

As of 2000, he became Technical Director / Production Manager at the same company, participating in numerous international events,  still mixing special events and permanent installations.

• - Yamaguchi National Expo's daily nightshow 2001
• - "Magical Sentosa" in Singapore 2002, a permanent multimedia show that entertained thousands of viewers every night during 5 years
• - "Comme un étrange appel", Swiss Expo'02 daily nightshow
• - "Le Pavillon de l'Equilibre", 2002 Swiss Confederation pavilion's who was Expo's most visited pavilion and won 2002 TILE Excellence Award
• - “Life is movement” - Toyota Pavilion, Aichi World Expo 2005 in Japan : a 2.5 years project, that leads to perform 3.000 shows for 2M viewers over 6 months of operating. This project won 2007 THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement: Live Event
This was done in parallel of permanent installations : "BraviSEAmo" for Tokyo Disney Sea in 2003/2004, "Songs of the Sea" in Singapore in 2006/2007.

Late 2007, he went on to create his own company, enabling him to work with other major French agencies such as, Le Public Système, DDB Live, Auditoire, Market Place, Skertzo and Les Petits Francais for his international expertise. He took predominant position in the 10th Anniversary of the African Union in 2009 (World Largest Event of the Year) and the show celebrating the Centenary of the Mexican Revolution in 2010 (1,2M viewers, THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement). Alain was also hired as consultant directly by major organisations (RENAULT and UNESCO) to bring his strong expertise and participated to the preliminary study conducted for CNFO to produce the French Pavilion during London 2012 Olympic Games.

In 2013, he relocated to Qatar taking a permanent position of Technical Producer at Innovations Unlimited ME and then Production and Technical Director at Auditoire Qatar. He consolidated his experience in the regional market of GCC, covering a wide range of projects mainly focused on events, both corporate and governmental.

Late 2015, he went back to the freelancers’ market to re-enlarge his application field and get back on track with large international projects and live shows.

This wealth of experience consolidated his competencies as Production Director and Technical Director. Thanks to this dual capacity, he is able to see a project through from start to finish, from concept design to full development and implementation, from planning phase to supervision of operations, and act as a Senior Events & Shows Producer.
