Corporate Events Crystal Curtains for Events

Corporate Events have some spectacular Crystal Curtains for their event productions.

You can’t change the decor of a venue that you are hosting an event at, however; Crystal Curtains are a fantastic new feature in the UK events marketplace and they create a high end look and feel to any stage set in any venue, lifting the overall production values of a given event and enhancing the guest and sponsor experience at the event.

Create a dramatic look for your Awards show production, Gala dinner production, Product launch, sales and marketing conference or Park Lane awards. Read more about the new Crystal Curtains at the Corporate Events website.

It’s Curtains for Award Shows at Corporate Events

As it’s September, the Awards Show production season is upon the event production industry, and all the way up and down Park Lane, venues are gearing up for a range of industry award and recognition events and Gala dinners.

Each year, the challenge is to create something that looks a little different to last years event – something that will entrance the audience and sponsors alike. With this in mind, Corporate Events are pleased and proud to announce the delivery of increased stock levels of Crystal Curtains, just in form our American partner.

Crystal Curtains are a fantastic new feature in the UK events marketplace and they create a high end look and feel to any stage set in any venue, lifting the overall production values of a given event and enhancing the guest and sponsor experience at the event.

Corporate Events Account Director Michelle Kennedy states: “I spend quite a lot of time researching new materials and effects that we can use on our client events and I have to say that the Crystal Curtains have been a real find for Corporate Events. They create such an impact in an event space and audiences seem to like the glamour they bring to a room.”

She continues “When we produce award shows or gala dinners for clients, the desire to do something different – to challenge the expectations of the client and the audience – is a huge driver for us, and Crystal Curtains gives us that excellent platform to deliver on this.”

Corporate Events Technical Manager Adam Harris adds: “Crystal Curtains are great. I really love them. The way they work in the event space, they way they hold and refract lighting is amazing. The fact that you can hang them in front of a solid colour or star cloth means that they have that extra depth and dimension that you just don’t get from anything else. For an award show production, I can’t think of a better innovation at this price point.”

Christmas Comes Early at Corporate Events

Summer may have only just finished, however planning for Christmas has been underway for a number of clients and Corporate Events are pleased to have been awarded a series of high profile Christmas celebration events for a range of clients.

Corporate Events Account Director Michelle Kennedy comments “Over the last few months we have been involved with a series of interesting and exciting pitches with clients who are looking for something more than the standard run-of-the mill Christmas party celebration.”

She continues “Our approach is quite straightforward – there are just loads of people out there doing the same old thing at Christmas and the whole scene is a bit lazy and tired. We consider that if we are going to be in that space we have to offer something unique, boutique and engaging.”

This approach has paid dividends for Corporate Events, with two big client wins in just the last two weeks. Both clients expressed a desire to get away from the norm and reward their employee’s hard work with a unique event.

Michelle continues: “Corporate Events were up against some pretty big agencies, so for us to secure these events proves real strength in our creative thinking process and how we engage with the emotion and personality of our clients’ brand.”

Managing Director at Corporate Events Andy Ashley concludes: “The whole Christmas party event scene is a little outside of our traditional portfolio of excellence; however we have seen that we can add real value back to our clients in this arena.

“Having seen what works in some of the biggest venues in Europe at some of the big gala dinner productions and awards shows we produce gives us a real insight into what we can offer to clients for Christmas Party experiences.”

Corporate Events on Target for ISO 9001

Corporate Events are pleased to announce that we are in the final stages for accreditation for the ISO mark of quality.

After more than sixteen years of delivering great conference productions and award shows, the business decided that it was time to benchmark our processes.

Corporate Events Managing Director Andy Ashley states: “When you run a business that grows and is as successful as Corporate Events has been, it could be easy to become complacent about what you do and how you do it, however I’m constantly aware that we shouldn’t take what we do for granted.”

Andy continues “To take the step of opening ourselves and our processes up for criticism takes some courage, but I’m really pleased that the initial feedback seems very positive, with some of our existing processes exceeding expectations.”

Corporate Events Account Director Michelle Kennedy picks up the theme: “When we talk to our clients, it’s not all about the event – that’s just the output of the planning and process phase – the real work is done in the pre event proposals, proposition and engagement cycle. It’s almost intangible but it is absolutely vital for the continuing success of our client projects.”

Michelle continues: “Working towards ISO 9001 accreditation will prove to be a real validation to the Corporate Events proposition and – I would hope – will provide competitive advantage to us when new prospect clients look at Corporate Events, seeing that we work to a recognised, ratified and audited standard.”

Managing Director Andy Ashley concludes: “By joining Eventia earlier this year and now by having ISO accreditation by the end of the year will be a real statement of intent – Corporate Events are a serious player on the UK events industry. We employ some of the best people in the business, we’ve got some great clients and we produce outstanding events.”

Corporate Events tell a Tale of Two Jason’s….

Corporate Events has seen a number of high profile guest speakers at our event productions over the years, from well known TV personalities through to comedians and serving Prime Ministers. However it is unusual for us to experience two Jason’s on two consecutive nights, but that’s what will be happening come mid September.

On September 12th, Corporate Events will be producing The Baking Industry Awards at London’s Hilton Park Lane, which will be a celebration of 25 years of this great event. To make this an extra special event, Jason Donovan will be hosting this prestigious event.

Corporate Events Account Manager Katie Lewis comments: “I remember watching Jason – and Kylie – on Neighbours all those years ago and I must say it will seem strange to be working with one of my childhood hero’s on stage at an event I’m in charge or producing.”

Katie continues “As with most Park Lane events, working at The Hilton Park Lane is always a special experience, so to mix this with both a 25th anniversary celebration and Jason Donovan – it will be an amazing evening.”

And as that isn’t enough fun for one week, the very next evening Corporate Events will welcome to the stage the star of the comedy circuit and TV, the hilarious Jason Manford.

Jason will be on stage, hosting this years exclusive Great British Pub Awards, which promises to be an outstanding and exciting evening. Katie Lewis adds “I’m sure that Jason will prove to be a huge hit – he’s such a funny personality and I think he will go down well with the audience at this prestigious evening event.”

Corporate Events Technical Manager Adrian Tolson concludes “Almost every professional host has their own unique requirement in terms of audio production, so this all has to be planned and prepped before we get to site to ensure that their stage time goes without a hitch.”

Corporate Events The Event Management Specialists are Expanding; Meet the New Faces at Corporate Events

Corporate Events is ever expanding, and we have taken on some superb new recruits who we know will slot intot he team here at Corporate Events and help to take our exciting event management company from strength to strength.

Paul Wright – Senior Project Manager Paul was previously with Conference Connections and VCL and has a vast experience of technically managing shows having started as an assistant Sound Recordist for Thames Television.

Paul brings a wealth of live events experience to Corporate Events and is looking forward to the challenge of the coming season.

Mike Neretrieks - Technician

Mike is an experienced technician and has worked on shows all over Europe; he has recently relocated from Colorado to Bristol (I know, why ?). After that sudden change of scene, Mike is keen to develop and improve on his technical skills on the wide range of event productions that Corporate Events roll out.

Jake Rundle – Trainee Warehouse/AV Tech

Jake, (or Jen’s Jake as he is known in the office) will be joining as a trainee technician. He is a fully qualified electrician having served an apprenticeship.

Part of the underlying Corporate Events HR ethos is to try and provide an engaging and exciting programme for young talent to develop and emerge. Corporate Events HR manager Jed Bowers comments: “Young people get a rough ride these days – if you don’t have the experience you can’t get a job, which is a bit harsh. Corporate Events like to try and give something back and people like Jake just need the chance to prove that they’ve got what it takes to do the job.”

Corporate Events go Back to Back at The Hilton Park Lane

September brings the last of the summer weather - and the start of the Park Lane Awards season proper. Corporate Events will be kicking off this season in some fine style with three major award event productions in the exclusive Hilton Park Lane.

From the global success of The International Wine Challenge through to The Great British Pub, with a bit of The Baking Industry in the mix as well, Corporate Events have quite a challenge to pull these three Award production events together in early September.

Account Manager Katie Lewis comments: “Any Park Lane award show is quite an undertaking. To be able to produce three shows in the same venue on three consecutive days takes a great deal of planning and preparation. You might think that it’s easy, but each client has a different audience and a totally different look and feel for their show - and let’s not forget - it is always their show - it’s the biggest night in their industry event calendar, so we have to ensure that each award show production is treated as a unique event in it’s own right.”

Katie continues: “Each night brings new and exciting challenges, with each evening’s audience coming from different industry sectors. Add to this the need to look after three sets of sponsors and special guest presenters; it takes a high degree of planning to ensure that each show is produced to the highest standards and there’s no breathing room between events – it’s all got to be perfectly planned when we walk through those doors at 4 am on the first morning.”

Technical Manager for Corporate Events Adrian Toulson concludes “Working at Hilton Park Lane is always a real buzz – it’s a globally recognized event space, so whenever we provide an award show production here, there is a high level of expectation. That we are doing three different evening awards one after the other adds to that expectation, but the team at the venue knows us well by now and we have a great working relationship, so the access and rig works like a well oiled machine.”

New faces at Corporate Events as The Growing Event Management Company Expands

Corporate Events are proud to announce another set of new arrivals at their Swindon facilities.

After a very successful start to 2012, Corporate Events have been recruiting the very best in the industry to further strengthen their existing technical crew and warehouse operational staff.

Operations Manager Adam Harris comments: “Since we moved to the new facilities in March this year. We have seen an increase in the volume and frequency of events we are producing and have chosen to re-invest in staff to make sure the quality of work we produce meets the exacting standards that we have become famous for within the industry.”

He continues “We feel that only by investing in good quality staff can we achieve excellence and - with the end of we have planned - it’s vital that those people understand how to put together a conference production or a Park Lane Award event.”

Corporate Events HR Manager Jed Bowers ads: “As a business, Corporate Events preach about the importance of planning for success, and that’s what we are implementing on the recruitment side. By getting the right staff in at the right time, our business model stays focused and efficient, allowing us to maintain our competitive price strategy while not making any compromises on the integrity of our overall service proposition.”

He continues “One of the key challenges that face any growing business is how and when to expand a workforce, and that is then compounded with the additional challenge of how we keep our staff trained and motivated. In this respect, we have just introduced a series of training and development plans for each member of staff, to ensure that they see working for Corporate Events as more than just a monthly pay cheque - it’s a real career step.”

Managing Director Andy Ashley concludes: “The business gives us tremendous access to some fantastic places around the world, so it is important that we have the best people on site to represent our brand and those that we work with. That’s why we employ so many people on PAYE instead of simply freelancing projects as they come in.”

Corporate Events Invent the miPod

Corporate Events have designed and created a series of creative thinking and collaboration zones for use within events.

Called miPod, these simple yet elegant structures provide shape, definition and purpose to smaller breakout groups.

With the added advantage of these units coming as a white finished blank structure, clients can brand the space to extend the messaging from the plenary space to these remote workspaces.

Corporate Events Client Manager Ben Harrop comments: “We have found that – when we deploy the miPod structures – our clients get much better engagement and input from delegates within these spaces.

“The structure proves to be a popular way to extend the messaging from a plenary space, but in a more creative and themed area that perhaps we’d not be able to provide from within a traditional event breakout room.”

Corporate Events are able to deliver a number of the miPod units at events and each unit can be augmented with LED lighting features to add definition between zones, as well as full audio visual support.

Projection Mapping at The 2012 Olympics Opening

Once again, Projection mapping took centre stage on a global scale at the opening ceremony at The London 2012 Olympic Games.

The hotly awaited Danny Boyle spectacular included some incredible theatre and drama, as well as very clever and intelligent use of technology.

Corporate Events Creative Director Tim Christian comments: “This year has seen a real increase in the understanding of projection mapping in the wider world – first with Buckingham Palace for the Queens Jubilee and now the Olympics.

It puts the concept in peoples mind and makes it part of the conversation now, while only six months ago it was still seen as a bit of a dark art.

At Corporate Events, we are introducing Projection Mapping to a range of clients in different verticals, who are seeing the solution as a natural extension of our inherent creativity, which in turn brings something else to their events.”

Corporate Events Managing Director adds, “There is no doubt about it; when projection mapping is deployed with great creativity, it can really enhance an event and add huge impact to a ‘reveal’ moment. Seeing that projection mapping was used on the Olympics and understanding the massive exposure that it has enjoyed over the last few months means that our proposition around projection mapping is very pertinent and current.”

Tim Christian concludes: “As with all of these great new tools, it’s all about relevance – we are very careful how and when we propose projection mapping as it’s not right for everything, but used in the right context and environment, the impact is huge. The great thing for Corporate Events is our ability to provide a projection mapping showcase at our Swindon facility – clients get to come and see the creativity first hand and while it looks great on TV, until you’ve had that sensory experience yourself, clients can never guess how it would work for them.”

Brick Awards Website Goes Live

Corporate Events are pleased to announce the release of The Brick Awards 2012 web site.

After a very successful 2011, Corporate Events were selected to work with The Brick Development Association again in 2012, to design and deliver an even more impressive event at the prestigious Marriott Grosvenor Square in central London.

The Brick Awards is set to be the biggest yet and the Brick development Association is proud to have some great sponsors already on board.

The Awards recognises excellence in design and construction using brick. This year over 300 entries have been submitted and 15 prestigious trophies issued to the successful projects. The architect/designer, brick manufacturer and specialist brickwork contractor are all acknowledged on each project.

Anyone can enter the awards - architects/designers, owners, developers, house-builders, specialist brickwork contractors and brick manufacturers. The Awards are made in a number of categories covering different aspects of design and construction.

All projects featuring clay bricks and clay pavers manufactured by BDA member companies are eligible, with the exception of the Worldwide Brick Award.

Corporate Events Account Manager Julie Brogan comments: “We are thrilled to be back working with The Brick Development Association after a great event last year. This year will see some interesting developments and enhancements from 2011.”

Creative Director Tim Christian adds: “This year has seen an interesting change for our engagement with a number of our clients, in that we are getting involved with delivering lots more event registration web sites and other comms materials around the events we are producing, thus reducing the number of suppliers our clients have to manage which in turn make their lives easier.”

Julie Brogan concludes: “As we develop and grow with our clients, we understand their branding and how to ensure a cohesive look and feel throughout the pre-event comms and how to carry that message through into the event space. It makes our proposition so much stronger.”

Corporate Events Renew Boodles Contract for 2013

Corporate Events are pleased to announce the continuation of their ongoing relationship with The Boodles, held once again at Stoke Park in June 2013.

Record crowds attended The Boodles in 2012 and through the week saw 11 of the world's top 20 players perform on the Wimbledon specification grass courts. Since 2002 The Boodles has had the pleasure of welcoming some of the biggest stars in tennis history, but 2012 showcased arguably the strongest player field to date. For five action packed days, the game's elite went head to head on stadium court in front of sold out spectators.

The headline match of the week took place with 2011 Wimbledon Champion, Novak Djokovic, facing up against British Number 1 Andy Murray. A highly entertaining contest resulted in a victory for the amiable Djokovic, winning the encounter 6-4 6-4. The Serbian star even had a chance to show his lighter side, by taking the court blower of the grounds man and assisting in the drying out of the court during a brief rain delay, much to the delight of the fans.

Murray's two outings on the Stoke Park courts - he also appeared on Wednesday in a match against Djokovic's Davis Cup partner Janko Tipsarevic - proved to be excellent preparation for his home Grand Slam, as he went on to become the first British man to reach the Wimbledon final in over 70 years two weeks later.

Corporate Events Commercial Director Tim Christian comments: “We are really pleased to continue our agreement to supply the audio support for The Boodles. It’s a fantastic summer event and an amazing and relaxed place to see the worlds’ best tennis players up close and personal.

“It’s always great validation when clients come back year after year and to be able to provide outstanding service at this level is true testimony to the quality of our service.”

Corporate Events Enter the Eventia Awards!

After nearly twenty years of producing some of the best award shows seen in the United Kingdom, Swindon based Corporate Events are entering the 2012 Eventia Awards.

Corporate Events Creative Director Tim Christian comments: “I must say, it seems a bit odd being on the other side of the event in this instance, however I feel that the work we are producing for our clients transcends traditional event production and we have now become more of an extension of our clients corporate communications team.”

Corporate Events will be submitting an event that was produced in October 2011 for a World famous brand.

Account Director Michelle Kennedy adds: “The reason we chose this event for our first submission to The Eventia Awards is because it covered virtually every discipline within our service portfolio, from venue finding and interactive delegate registration tools right through to producing “hidden” experiential areas within the event space.

“When you add to this the level of work we produced in terms of creative content - from the over-arching event theme, each and every presenters presentation support materials and a whole host of video and animations, you will see how proud we were of the end result, as well as the level of positivity around the post - event feedback.”

Tim Christian continues: “When you have a client at this level thanking you for your input and telling you the work you produced was “A real game changer” for their brand, it gives Corporate Events a real sense of validation, which is why we feel this project is worthy of inclusion within this years Eventia Awards.”

Corporate Events Managing Director Andy Ashley concludes: “Every time we talk to a new prospect and talk them through this particular event case study, they are blown away buy the scope and scale of the event. I’m really pleased that our work can stand up along side some of the big boys in our industry, and I look forward to seeing if we place at this years Eventia Awards.”

Corporate Events joins Eventia - The Trade Body for the Events and Live Marketing Industry

After a hugely successful growth period, Corporate Events are pleased to announce that they are joining Eventia, the trade body for the events and live marketing industry.

As an influential and innovative event production company, Corporate Events has expanded its service provision into new and diverse areas such as brand activation, experiential, augmented reality, glassless 3D and projection mapping.

Corporate Events Managing Director Andy Ashley comments: “Over the last few years we have seen a breathtaking rate of development and change within the business and we are very proud of what we’ve been doing to get us where we are today. Our business is not longer just about audio visual production at Park Lane awards and conference production, there is so much more to discuss.”

“Our challenge is to manage this growth and to align and measure ourselves to the best in the industry. Eventia gives us this platform.”

As an industry body, Eventia is recognized as the official trade body of the events and live marketing industry providing leadership and representation on important issues to Government, regulators and the corporate community. The association was created in January 2006, following the merger between two complementary trade associations: the Corporate Events Association (CEA) and the Incentive Travel & Meetings Association (ITMA). The British Association of Conference Destinations (BACD) was subsumed into Eventia from January 2009.

Eventia promotes the highest standards of professionalism and best practice in the industry. All members of the association adhere to a Code of Practice which governs the spirit and method of all commercial activities and conduct of business.

Corporate Events Commercial Director Tim Christian adds: “For a number of years, Corporate Events has been running along in our own little bubble – delivering brilliant events for a diverse range of clients across Europe, but we’ve never had an affiliation with an industry body until now. I think our relationship with Eventia can be seen as a real statement of intent from the business of our commitment to excellence across all of our client engagement.”

William Reed Business Media 150th Birthday Gala Dinner

The great and good of the grocery market came together at the Hilton Park Lane on Wednesday 4th July to celebrate the 150th anniversary of William Reed Business Media.

Corporate Events provided a fantastic and opulent gala dinner event production incorporating full audio visual support, as well as creating a unique and informative 150 year video timeline, illustrating the rich historical information of events that have occurred in the publishing lifetime of William Reed Business Media.

Corporate Events Head of Creative David Haslop comments: “Working on this project was a real eye opener - seeing the changes and developments in the wider world and how that pace of change has accelerated in the last ten years or so is amazing. Some of the brands we take for granted in the high street have had quite a short history, while some have been pillars of the grocery market for years - and all the while The Grocer magazine has been the “go-to” publication for the trade.”

He continues “It’s amazing to think that the American Civil war was in full flow when the first issue of The Grocer was published, and while The Grocer still has an amazing relevance and importance, the American civil war seems like ancient history!”

Corporate Events client account manager Katie Lewis adds: “Putting together the timeline video was a real challenge, both in terms of research as well as ensuring that we were historically accurate. There’s a wealth of information available at our fingertips today, but it’s not always spot on, so we made sure our research was spot on before we started production. Dave is fantastic at motion graphics and has created an amazing piece, full of facts and stats that really frame the importance of The Grocer and William Reed Business Media to the grocery market and beyond.

Glassless 3D Comes to Corporate Events Audio Visual Production

Corporate Events are proud to introduce a striking innovation in the form of glassless 3D plasma screen technology for live events.

Using the latest development in stereoscopic technology, amazing depth of field and focal range can be achieved, creating a compelling audience “pull” to the content display.

This, coupled with our ever expanding creative design suite, once again puts Corporate Events at the forefront of emerging technological innovation for event production.

Corporate Events Creative Director Tim Christian comments: “3D has been around for some time now, but for a multitude of reasons it’s failed to gain real traction in the live events marketplace; however the latest developments in screen technology have made real progress to where we are today.”

Client Account Director Michelle Kennedy adds: “As a tool, I see that glassless 3D will become an important addition to some of our experiential and brand activation events, where the ability to really use the 3D “push” to generate interest and footfall for clients will provide real added value and engagement for the brands.”

Tim Christian continues: “While the technology is now much better and more accessible for both users and audience, our focus will always be on the content played on the device, and this is where our capability in having our own creative studio in house, that can design and create the content, test it in our preview facility before going on site, thus ensuring that we can get the best from the technology platform, while maximizing brand and product exposure.”

The ability to show 3D content to an audience without using 3D glasses opens up a whole new medium for brands to exploit and consider within the wider marketing mix, as well as within an event space. Tim concludes: “Once a client see’s what glassless 3D looks like and starts thinking about how it can be used, we find that people start being very creative and it opens up a whole new world of creativity. And that’s what Corporate Events are good at!”

Corporate Events at The Boodles with Andy Murray

June seems such a long time ago now, but Corporate Events were proud to be at Stoke Park for The Boodles, the exclusive grass court tennis event prior to Wimbledon.

Over 500 people attend each day over five hot, sunny summer days in the glorious English countryside to watch the world’s best tennis players put the finishing touches to their grass court preparation.

Corporate Events entertained twenty key people on the Wednesday of the event and were treated to seeing Andy Murray up close and personal, as well as putting questions to Queens winner Marin Cilic and seeing the bad boy of tennis - David Nalbandian - in better form than previously displayed.

Corporate Events Managing Director Andy Ashley stated: “This is our third year at The Boodles, and I have to say I think it’s the best one yet. We work in an industry that is pretty high pressure, so to be able to take some clients out for the day and give them a really exclusive experience is something we look forward to each year.”

Commercial Director Tim Christian adds: “There is something truly unique about The Boodles at Stoke Park - it provides such an exclusive experience in such a wonderful setting, I always feel privileged to go, and thrilled when we get to take clients as it is such a good experience.”

Corporate Events provide a range of audio visual support for the event, including four main area public address, court side audio support as well as audio visual support in press and players areas.

Andy Ashley concludes: “To be able to see Andy Murray that close, to see what skill and touch these players have is an amazing thing - something that is lost on television; couple that with the fact that our equipment and our staff are supporting the experience is possibly unique for Corporate Events.”

What is a Product Launch Event and Why Use an Events Management Company?

Successful product launches are more than just a presentation delivery to an assembled audience of the right people. Likewise a product launch is more than a product debut at a trade show. Product launches are a display to your guests of not only your product but also your company. This display needs to show the people in attendance that you are dynamic, dazzling and going places. How can you portray all this at a product launch event?

The answer is that you are probably far too busy with your day to day business to deliver an event that will impress potential customers in such a way, and that’s nothing to be ashamed of, this is the case for most companies looking to launch a new product. What you need to do is think big and be prepared to speculate to accumulate.

Big companies and organisations are used to launching new products, but they don’t arrange the event themselves. They hire in events management companies to produce the product launch for them. In the long run having an events management company product and deliver your product launch is cost effective, want to know why?

Events management companies have relationships with lots of different companies in the industry, and they can get deals on venues, catering, and bands and so on at very special deals; making your budget go further.

Events management companies have in-house production teams that can product bespoke sets and audio visual productions at a fraction of the cost it would be to contract someone in to do it for you.

Because event management companies have lots of experience with producing and delivering product launches, they have lots of ideas of how to make your event mind blowing. Equally they know what has been tried and been a flop, so they can steer you away from a product launch disaster.

Events companies also know freelance workers who can work on the presentation and delivery of your product launch. These freelancers include, camera men, riggers, to waitress staff and greeters. When you hire a company to deliver your product launch, they can make sure that you have experienced and reliable people on hand to make sure that your product launch is delivered beautifully, and risk free.

Product Launch Events and Branding

No business is an island entire of itself. No matter how great the products or services you provide, if the world doesn't know about you, how can you expect to be successful? Getting your message out via non-advertising streams is vital for building the trust and authority that your brand inspires and letting people know that you're serious about your business. Product Launch events are a superb way of telling the world that you and your product are here.

In the constantly changing business environment of today, successful promotion and launch of new products requires a coordination of multiple factors. As consumers have become more sophisticated and demanding, organizations need to produce very special and mind blowing product launches to set their company and their products a cut above the rest.

Most product launch events happen in big cities or in cities where the company is located. Sometimes these launches are held at big convention halls so that there is room for the shareholders and the media. Having a media presence at your event helps to get your message out there after the product launch event has ended.

If you are having media presence at your product launch event, you need to make sure that the event goes off without a hitch. You don’t want media coverage of any blunders that could potentially damage the brand. The easiest way to avoid blunders is to hand over the production and delivery of the event to a specialised events management company. Events management companies have lots of experience in producing very successful product launches.

Events management companies are also able to coordinate branding throughout the production and the including the audio visual production building a compelling association between your company and the new product that you are launching.

Events Management and Special Effects for Events

Events Management isn’t just about a stress free way of hosting an event by allowing an events management company to do all the proportion work. It’s also about what the events management can bring to the event. Sure they can find the venue and arrange the gala dinner production, but can they produce the audio visual production to deliver you a creative event?

Large scale event management companies with extensive experience in the business, have in-house production teams who can create amazing special effects for your event. These might be visual onscreen productions or more physical effects or props such as stages, podiums or backdrops.

Audio Visual Production is at the cutting edge of event production. Audio Visual Production is a visual production that is shown on a screen; this might be showing products or an advert in the case of product launch, 3d Mapping or maybe just showing an interesting moving background. The possibilities are limitless, but really good Audio Visual Production has a quality that you would expect to see for television. Events Management companies should be able to show you examples of their previous Audio Visual Productions.

Alongside Audio Visual Production, events companies also carry other event enhancing equipment, such as retro video walls, LED colour changing tubes and audience response keypads. With event enhancing equipment available for you to use at your event, offers you more opportunity to customise your event, and add additional wow factor. If the company you are using has a set building team, if they don’t have props or staging that suits your event; they can create a bespoke set for your needs. Again ask to see examples of previous sets they have made for previous events to get an idea of their capabilities and quality levels of the completed sets.

Corporate Events and the The Grocer Gold Awards 2012 at The Guildhall

Holding an Awards Ceremony? Splash Out on a Park Lane Awards Event

Award ceremonies are a fantastic opportunity to show appreciation for the award winners and to make all the guests feel like very important people and spoil them. And there’s no better way of spoiling guest to the awards than laying on a Park Lane Awards Event. Park Lane Awards is a phrase used by event management companies to describe a particular type of awards ceremony.

Park Lane Awards are all about the glitz and glamour, a well produced Park Lane event makes ever guest feel like a superstar.

So how does an events management team go about producing such an event, and what is involved?

Park Lane Awards are usually held at Park Lane venue, which are incredibly sophisticated and beautifully decorated. The venue sets the scene for the whole event, and upon arriving, the Park Lane event needs to keep wowing the guests.

Usually with award ceremonies there are speakers and hosts who stand on staging to deliver information and entertainment and to distribute the awards. Events Management companies can make bespoke staging that is perfect for your particular event, and can be branded with your awards title or company branding. But don’t just think dull staging, or a raised wooden level. When an events management company think staging they are thinking something far more amazing and dramatic, with lighting and lighting effects, and high-tech widescreens for dazzling displays.

Of course to make any Park Lane Awards event really look the part; audio visual production is a must! Audio visual presentations are onstage displays with video, animation and music which give dramatic impact to your awards events and wow your guests. (Hence the high-tech widescreens on the staging) A really good events management team will create an audio visual production which is on par with anything you might have seen on the television. Ask the company for sample productions that they have created for previous clients to give you an idea of what they are capable of. It might also give you a few ideas for your production.

Park Lane awards are an amazing experience for your guests. And you will feel great pride as you hear the guest’s responses to the event. With a Park Lane awards events you can be sure your guests will be talking about it for years to come.

Why Use an Events Management Company to Arrange Your Sales Conference?

Sales conferences are important events in any business calendar. It’s a time to rally the troops together, get the team focused on the direction of the business and inspire and ignite your sales and marketing force. Sounds simple doesn’t it? But an inspiring and thought provoking sales conference is more than just a pep talk, and can take a lot of preparation, which is where an Events Management Team can really be a god send.

By letting and events management team arrange your sales conference means that they do all the leg work, leaving you free to prepare the content of the conference. The events company can even prepare the visuals of any documents and information that you want to display on a big screen, which even takes care of the power point presentation side of things. You literally just need to get the information over them, and leave them to work their magic.

Sales conferences are an ideal opportunity to get the sales force out of their usually office environment and spoil them a little by laying on dinner or refreshments. Again, if you were arranging the conference yourself, this would be really time consuming to arrange a venue that can accommodate your conference and also provide the necessaries to display a visual presentation. Hiring an events management team to arrange all this for you means that the conference hardly impacts on your work life at all.

Furthermore, event management are used to working within a budget and getting really great deals, and with their contacts, in-house teams and their warehouses of high tech equipment; event management is more cost effective that you would probably assume and would cost less in the long run that you arranging the conference yourself.

In a nutshell, if you are planning a sales conference and you want it to run smoothly and motivate your sales force so that the company can reap the rewards over the coming months, hiring an events management team to arrange and prepare your conference will ensure that it’s a huge success. After all, they are the experts in arranging conferences, they arrange them every month – how often do you arrange a sales conference?

Informa Event Manager said: “I'm very excited for one of our events to have been nominated. Lloyd's List Global Awards got short listed in the Conference Awards for Best Awards Event in the face of some stiff competiton.

It’s all down to a great collaboration with Corporate Events and Informa that works so well for us.

Corporate Events Goes Cubist with Retro Audio Visual Production

Corporate Events are proud to introduce a new and innovative feature to their already strong audio visual production line up.

Harking back to a Warhol style of design, the Corporate Events video cube installation is a flexible and retro take on the more traditional video wall or LED video tile features on the market.

Made up from a series of self contained 24” colour LCD panels housed within a satin black finished cube case, the video cube installation provides a high degree of organic installation flexibility.

Creative positioning of each individual cube can add a real “wow” factor to a stage, exhibition or experiential event feature.

With a high end control video switching, we have the ability to split a source over all screens, select screens for individual feeds or a huge and varied range of exciting and engaging video and data effects across all the displays.

With an entry level of 16 units, Corporate Events feel that the video cube installation provides an exciting creative alternative to anything else on the market.

Commercial Director Tim Christian states: “Our intention was to create a feature that was flexible enough to be used in a number of environments – be that as a stage feature for an awards production, a conference production reception feature, on an exhibition stand or as part of our ever expanding brand activation / experiential events tool kit.

The creative thought behind moving away from all of the edgeless and bevel free monitors was to provide an alternative to the technology – heavy delivery, to be a little retro and provide a huge amount of creative flexibility on site.

Being able to place each cube in a slightly random way creates a visual hook and tricks the mind into coming back and having another look at what’s playing out on screen.”

Corporate Events Open Day Opens Eyes

Last week’s open day at Corporate Events new head office in Hillmead, Swindon, made a huge impact on staff, clients and prospects alike.

Managing Director Andy Ashly comments: “As a business, we’ve been running since 1996, we turn over in excess of £5 million, employ 35 people and produce shows all around the globe, and yet there are businesses on our doorstep that have never heard our name.”

With this in mind, the idea of a Corporate Events Open Day was born.

To celebrate the recent move to larger premises and to showcase some industry leading innovations and creativity, Corporate Events invited a mix of clients and prospects to the event.

Account Director Michelle Kennedy adds: “Its been great to be able to show people what we do, how we work and just how big the company actually is. We’ve put on a showcase of projection mapping in our atrium space - a fantastic way to develop some more creative events alongside our conference production and audio visual production services.”

Senior Producer Ian Harvey concurs: “I’m so pleased that people took the time out of their day to come and see Corporate Events and our offering. I’m very pleased about the response to our Augmented Reality solution - there are only a couple of companies that can do what we do in the UK, so to be able to show this live to people is fantastic.”

But it wasn’t just the technology that proved to be of interest; the culture and environment of Corporate Events proved to be infectious. Head of Creative Services David Haslop expands: “We produce a massive mount of creative content for award show productions, conference productions and experiential events and while that can all look great on a laptop or desktop, what we have found is that clients love our presentation preview space.

Essentially it’s like having a scale venue to play with before you get on site - big screen projection and Dolby 5.1 sound in our own client preview room! This allows clients to come to us, run through their show content in a relaxed but focused manner, make changes and be comfortable with their messaging, look and feel before even getting into the event space.

We even do show rehearsals here - its proving invaluable.”

And if you missed this event, don’t worry. Tim Christian concludes: “It was a great night - lots of people learned more about Corporate Events in one day than I could have hoped for. We will be doing this again, and soon.”

Star in a Reasonably Priced Event

Corporate Events are proud to have provided audio visual production for last nights Events for Nawuwongo gala dinner the The Brewery in Chiswell Street.

Attended by an array of event industry good and great, a content packed night raised in excess of £80,000 for this immensely worthwhile charity.

The hugely entertaining event band Rockaoke welcomed the revelers into the Porter Tun room for a three course meal, where the event joint hosts Trevor Foley and Chris Hughes whipped up the audience to a charity giving frenzy.

With a mix of raffle, silent and live auction, there was a series of “money can’t buy” experiences available, including an amazing Chris Evans golf day that included being in the radio 2 breakfast show and reading the weather, before joining Chris on a round of golf at Wentworth.

But without doubt, the most humbling moment of the evening was delivered by an amazing lady, Immaculate Kiiza, who told her story and the story of Nawuwongo to a hushed and awestruck audience, often choked with emotion and humility but who earned a huge standing ovation at the end of her powerful and moving presentation.

To lighten the mood a little, the star of BBC TV’s Top Gear, Jeremy Clarkson took to the stage and hosted a somewhat unorthodox approach to a live auction of some excellent prizes, including Top Gear filming days, holidays and Olympic tickets.

With all of the serious fund raising business out of the way, it was back to Rockaoke to sing the show to a close.

Corporate Events Commercial Director Tim Christian comments: “It feels good to be part of an industry that is putting back something good into the world - it’s all too easy to keep your blinkers on and ignore the wider world, or even more criminally, think you can’t make a difference. I hope our little contribution here tonight will go some way to helping those who’s basic human needs are being ignored by so many on so many levels.”

As the event drew to a close and the pack up started, event executive Laura Petela adds: “It’s been a great height - different to the normal award show production or gala dinner that we see so often, so a nice change.”

Super Hero Themed Event Makes Money for Sweet Charity

Corporate Events are pleased and proud to have produced this year’s “Candy Ball” at The Park Plaza Westminster on Saturday 28th April, for Sweet Charity – the Charity for the UK Confectionery Industry.

Following on from previous successes, the creative events team at Corporate Events designed and created a unique “Super hero’s” theme for the event that worked over the whole event communications, web site and through to the event experience within the event space at Park Plaza Westminster.

Using the current zeitgeist for all things comic book, the gala dinner production featured a massive bespoke built twin screen set and stage that was designed and created to look like a comic book city skyline, a bespoke animated introduction sting in the style of comic book pages and a number of live acts.

Gala Dinner Production manager Julie Brogan commented, “We were pleased with the look and feel of the event. The way the theme worked throughout all of the client touch points – from web site and printed materials through to the room set décor – all went a long way to creating a solid and cohesive event theme.”

Audio Visual production manager Adrian Toulson adds, “Working at exclusive London venues such as Park Plaza Westminster is always an experience – the shape and scale of the room always needs special consideration for sound and making sure that the audience experience is maximised. Every time we do an award show production or a conference production, we always start with a knowledge base but a clean sheet of paper as well. Each event is unique and needs to be planned accordingly.”

Being one of the first Audio Visual production companies to work within Park Plaza Westminster, Corporate Events has extensive experience in producing large-scale events in this exciting event space.

Corporate Events Launches Tubular Bells Concept for Audio Visual Production Sets

Corporate Events are proud to bring a new and exciting innovation to the Audio Visual Production market, in the form of our exciting new “Tubes” Award show production set.

Utilising an amazing lenticular material fixed to Perspex tubes, lit from within with custom made LED colour changing fixtures, this new set design provides an innovative and different approach to the age old problem of “doing something different” without exceeding budget allowances.

Corporate Events Managing Director Andy Ashley said, “Having been to hundreds of award show productions and park lane awards where star cloth is used to death, it’s really exciting to be able to go back to our clients with a viable and creative events solution that addresses the twin issues of “I want something different” along side “I have less to spend this year”.

“Having spent lots of time in various management meetings with a number of our clients, we went out to the market, sourced and tested a range of materials and now we are really proud to have created our own unique creative events solution that we can offer to our clients, safe in the knowledge that it’s the first time anyone will have seen anything like it.”

Corporate Events has deployed this solution to a number of Award show productions this year, all to great effect.

Tim Christian, Creative Director at Corporate Events adds, “The tube set is something that we are all very close to, having designed it from the ground up. It provides an excellent mix of creativity, audience experience and commercial viability. But, what I consider to be more important, is that it is OUR innovation and our drive that has delivered this to the market, ensuring that once again, Corporate Events provides innovation to our clients.”
