This international finance company required a hybrid awards ceremony for hundreds of in-person attendees as well as many more around the world watching via a live stream.
The prestigious event was held at Aqua The Shard, London, an impressive venue that comes with some unique challenges. We overcame them and received one of the best compliments you can hope for in this industry.
This financial company required a hybrid awards ceremony with guests in-person, that would also be streamed to virtual attendees internationally. They wanted something impressive and chose to host it at Aqua The Shard in London.
The client is based abroad and wouldn’t be in the country leading up to the event. After the initial brief we had minimal contact with the client – the logistics, plan and details were in our hands.
We were happy to take on all in-person responsibilities so the planning could go ahead. In their absence we chose the menus, arranged the food tasting with the venue and took care of every detail, down to the flowers and branded bar coasters.
The Shard – although a fantastic venue – did come with its challenges. There is very minimal storage space and limited access to the building. Naturally with such a prestigious venue there were rules to follow. We had tight build times and ‘tools-down’ intervals of four hours. Even the shape of The Shard can be challenging to work with as it isn’t square or symmetrical.
