Challenge: Three years earlier the client attempted to plan and execute this international event on their own. With no event professionals to assist, they quickly realized they were over their heads when multiple issues occurred. They needed expertise if they were to do this event again. For 3 years, they didn’t hold the event at all. When the need to gather their worldwide team together could no longer be ignored, the Chief Marketing Officer sourced an event agency to help them. Iron Peacock Events won the business.

Solution: To fulfill the objectives set for this event required not one, but 3 venues to provide very different purposes. The first challenge was to gather all attendees flying both domestic and internationally in one place to have a night to decompress and meet each other for the first time. We contracted the trendy Hotel Erwin and created an evening to network and relax in the fresh air and epic views on the rooftop open air lounge. 

Next, we transported the group to Canyon Creek Camp whose remote location fulfilled their objective to set up their drone systems to test and formulate new company strategies. New relationships were built during this portion of the event as teambuilding reached another level at the camp with Olympic-like contests, and never-ending games and entertainment. 

Finally, it was time to celebrate the company’s fast growth and success. The Ritz-Carlton provided the final location where luxury and high-end celebrations awarded the attendees with a thank you from the company they would never forget. To add a final special touch for the client, we created a video synopsis of their entire event and surprised the attendees by running it on screens behind the DJ on the final night, complete with a champagne toast.

Result: Despite all the challenges, this meeting (that was meant to be a one-off), has become an annual event with Iron Peacock managing from start to finish. It proved to be a game-changer for the company who also increased the event budget from year to year - the ROI was there to do so!
