One event season finishes and another one starts... but luckily for me I am on the other end - the attendee side. It was an absolute pleasure to attend Metro Production Group INSIGHTS event today. As an event/marketing professional, these days are SO valuable. It provides an opportunity to reconnect, explore and discuss, most importantly scoop up inspiration for the season to come. My takeaways.... 👽 Unleash your inner child 👽 Jon Burkhart your sessions never fail to achieve this. Injecting fun and play into events is the perfect recipe to create connections and conversations. Aluminium foil roller coasters - how can that not be a good ice breaker 🤖 The tech 🤖 Absolutely loved trying out the hologram technology as a delegate - if its integrated and executed right these can definitely elevate your events 💛 Make time to be the delegate 💛 It's easy to keep creating and executing events, but if you don't see, attend and experience it as the delegate, how can you keep elevating your experiences to cater for them... MASSIVE thank you to Tim Pennington Andrew Lowe Marta Fernandes - as always, a seamless execution from you and the team Joanna Lamontagne Charlotte Mitchell Maddy Cullen #creativeexperiences #eventinspiration #eventprofs

🎉 WE DID IT... now that was a season....🎉 Before I board my flight for a much needed holiday, and before we hit the ground running into planning for next year, I wanted to take a second to shout from the LinkedIn rooftop some of my highlights on this year's activity! I am actually a little lost for words when I look back at the year we have had.... the activity we produced... the standard we have set...and what we have accomplished as a team. 💓 THE TEAM aka. THE SUPERHEROS 💓 I am in awe of the talent I am surrounded by on a day-to-day basis, from my marketing colleagues, event delivery experts to the creative whizz’s right through to our agency partners. These relationships are the core pillar of why our work is the success it is ⬆ ELEVATE ELEVATE ELEVATE ⬆ I thought we did ok last year, but my golly did we take the batton and raise it to a new level. From innovative tech solutions bringing our transformation story to life, to how we create unique and memorable experiences for our clients. We push boundaries, challenge the norm and always think outside the box 🥇 A YEAR OF FIRSTS 🥇 We have a long list of them, from the Gen AI for Government Hackathon with Microsoft to being a sponsor at Best of Belron®. From an experience perspective, it's these activations where I always find we learn the most and I can't wait to do more of these next year 🤖 OUR ALLIANCE PARTNERS 🤖 I am blown away day in day out by how we work with our alliance partners… What makes it even more exciting is that it is my role to help tell these stories. Already in ideation overdrive for next years plans.... 💅 IT'S NOT ALL GLITZ AND GLAM 💅 If I am honest, it's the behind the scenes moments I love the most. From building lightboxes, carrying giant cubes through ExCel to the late night messages 'did you pack the....', it's these moments which make each activity so much more special and successful 👀 FY25 I am coming for you… just after I have eaten my weight in Pastel de Nata’s and drunk 90% of the world's supply of aperol spritz. 📵 Out of office officially on 📵

BEST OF Belron®.... COMPLETED ✅ Who'd have thought a pit stop challenge for the world of windscreens would get me excited.... I will hold my hands up and say that I was a little apprehensive throughout the planning stages on this one, not because I doubted the conference but I didn't truly understand the purpose. I can now honestly say I am drunk on the BoB coolaid. 📝 MY HIGHLIGHTS 📝 💛 PwC UK experience 💛 We landed and set the standard. Audience aimed - on stand activation to drive footfall, creating a relaxed environment for conversation starters. Big shout out to Lily Johnson Neil Johnson with brandformula for supporting and executing the vision ❤️ THE EVENT ITSELF ❤️ Healthy snacks (very important for a snack addict like myself), good range of beverages, easy to navigate floor plan, reactive app updates, good representation across delegates, strong content teamed up with translation headsets. Super impressed with the end-to-end experience 👩💻 TECHNOLOGY DONE WELL 👩💻 FINALLY a conference showcasing and demonstrating technology in a way its applicable. One of the best uses and integrations of tech I have seen. From recalibration challenges to AI training workshops. Technology used to show the audience how it can be applied and used in their sector, something you rarely see, and see done well 🙌 COLLEAGUE ENGAGEMENT 🙌 A conference aimed as an incentive to encourage their workforce to be the best at what they do. Prize - a years salary. This whole event felt like a team/workforce appreciation event - and this came across so strong with every interaction I had with Belron colleagues 🐐 MVP 🐐 Special mention to Rob Chenery - A Belron colleague, who at every opportunity went out of his way to tell everyone about Belron, from what he does to what the BoB is set out to do. A truly memorable brand ambassador, beyond impressed by his adoration of Belron These legends played a huge part in making in all happen: Rupert C. | Debbie Raymond-Sampson | Andrew Steele | Sophie Herrington | Rachel Kelly | Kelvin Dews | Steve Burke (UK) #CloudTransformation #BeTransformative #HumanLedTechPowered #bestofthebest #bestofbelron24

Just over a week ago we brought together industry experts from PwC UK , Amazon Web Services (AWS), and fellow business leaders for an incredibly insightful discussion, delving deep into the critical issues that are shaping the pace and scale of business reinvention. Here are the key observations our clients took away: 💡 For all businesses, transformation has to be a priority and it has to happen at speed, as the gap between innovators and those not moving fast enough continues to widen. 💡 Moving slowly does not decrease transformation risk – in fact, it increases it. 💡 Partnerships built around meeting customer needs will only become more important to deliver innovation at speed. Personal highlights: ⚡ Thought provoking content ⬆ Elite hospitality 🌉 Spectacular views 💻 Engaging tech demos 🌟 Amazing work on and off stage | Sophie Herrington | Stephani Pinthu | Jon Maskery | Alice Taylor ☁️ | Ross Mardle MCMI ChMC | Gavin Barwell | Isabelle Jenkins 🌟 https://lnkd.in/efAhQG4m
