What we did:
Pre Event
We had a three month lead time and working closely with the UK/ EMEA marketing team and the global branding team. We provided options on potential venues for the event and it was agreed on Tottenham Stadium to host the conference summit. From there we contracted with the venue and worked in conjunction with their in house events and AV team.
Over the coming weeks leading to the event. We worked closely with the client assisting with event planning and management, gifting, logistics, branding, sourcing and contracting keynote VIP speakers.
Event Day
We began with open registration from 8am. Our team were on hand to manage guest delegates with a quick and easy registration process, complete with VIP gift bags for attendees. Out side of the stadium we had Brand Ambassadors positioned in strategic places to hep direct guests, along with extensive signage and wayfinding both inside and outside of the venue.
Inside the stadium we had maximised the branding opportunities to include a large LED wall in the registration area, branding in the lifts, all screens across the event floor and the pitch side ribbons and bowl screens. It came together really well working with the client brand team and the venue looked spectacular.
Through out the morning there were key content sessions from both Procore senior leadership and guest speakers. A highlight for us was that on the growing mental health issue within the construction industry which featured Nigel Owens and Fred Mills.
Between sessions on the mains stage we broke into two key breakout areas. Each area having a number of smaller key content sessions that included a variety of key guest speakers. Then across a networking lunch there was plenty of opportunity to break out, relax or find out more from Procore or some key suppliers with meeting hubs set up in the networking area.
The afternoon continued into more main stage and break out content sessions. Another highlight being Paul Nash's presentation on navigating the challenges from the Building Safety Act.
We finished the afternoon sessions with our key speaker - Harry Redknapp. It was a fascinating look into his career, his transferable skills advice in managing people and teams along with a surprising insight into his own construction business venture. We finished the day session with a relaxed open networking opportunity .
Event Evening
Our evening session began from 17.30 for key invited VIP guests as we took them on a bespoke tour of the stadium. This featured insight from Buro Happold on the planning and the challenge in delivering this amazing stadium.
Once our group had returned we had 4 suites ready for exclusive roundtable content sessions, with key guest speakers. This was followed by a private dinner for all guests in their respective grouped suites.
Summary:
It was an amazing privilege to work with the client to help deliver their first construction conference summit event in the UK and Europe. Across the three months we work closely with both the marketing and brand teams to plan and manage the event. Despite an incredibly short lead time, it came together to be a fantastic, engaging and productive event for all who attended.
