Driving Growth Through Innovation
Skye Marshall • September 25, 2024

Last week, we welcomed over 300 delegates to Frankfurt for our client’s Technical Conference. The energy from the start set the tone for three exciting days of innovation, collaboration, and fresh ideas.


Day 1: Kicking Off with Innovation

The conference began with an interactive plenary session, where delegates actively participated in discussions and shared insights. A highlight was the "Innovation Box," designed to gather creative ideas for a future-focused strategy.


Guest speakers from our clients suppliers shared valuable insights on industry trends, innovative solutions, and growth strategies. The day concluded with dinner and networking at Depot 1899, a repurposed tram depot, where delegates enjoyed an evening of conversation, food, and even dancing.

Day 2: Technical Sessions and Supplier Engagement

Day two focused on breakout sessions, where attendees explored technical topics and innovative solutions in depth. Active engagement was encouraged, sparking lively discussions and fresh thinking.


The Supplier Marketplace allowed delegates to interact with suppliers through our event app and gamification module, where engagement earned points toward team prizes, creating a fun and interactive way to connect.


Day 3: Wrapping Up

As the conference drew to a close, excitement for the future was palpable. The three-day event fostered collaboration, sparked new ideas, and inspired growth through innovation. The positive feedback from attendees has left us excited for what’s next.


A huge thank you to everyone involved in making the event a success. We can’t wait for the next one!

My IHG Hotels & Resorts Hosted Buyer Experience in Los Angeles and Las Vegas

By Catia Rocha • October 14, 2024
There’s something truly special about a journey filled with ‘firsts’. And my recent trip to Los Angeles and Las Vegas, hosted by IHG Hotels & Resorts , was exactly that - a string of firsts, each more memorable than the last. Welcome to LA: First Impressions Kicking off with a premium economy flight from London Heathrow to Los Angeles, my excitement for the days ahead was already sky-high (pun intended). Touching down in California for the very first time, I was spoiled from the get-go. Our stay began at the fabulous InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown , where we were treated to a brief show-around of the property, followed by a dinner that showcased the creativity of the head chef. It was a great way to meet some of my fellow hosted buyers and get into the spirit of things.

Exploring CSR Initiatives

By Activate Events • September 11, 2024
Corporate Social Responsibility is becoming an increasingly important aspect to business and events today. Incorporating CSR in events allows clients to turn their values into action and it can have a positive impact on attendees as it gives them a sense of purpose and fosters a culture of teamwork. We are constantly trying to encourage clients to integrate CSR in events. And what better way than to try these activities first-hand. Our colleagues Skye and Romy attended an event organised by GoTo Events and Sleep Pod UK at the Leonardo Hotel St Paul’s to make sleeping pods for the homeless. Here’s what they had to say:
