Project Overview:

This client needed a polished, dynamic multi-day kickoff that would energize their internal teams and external sponsors alike. The event included a partner showcase, a casual ‘Tiki Tech Beach Bash’ off-site party, a ‘Women in Technology’ happy hour, and a VIP ‘Bonvoyage Dinner.’ Our challenge was seamlessly executing diverse formats—from formal presentations to beach-side networking—at a resort-style venue with limited pre-event setup time. We delivered professional-grade AV setups for both presentations and open-air events, coordinated smooth transitions between conference sessions and themed receptions, and maintained visual consistency across all diverse event formats.
