For this undertaking, we were tasked with a pretty large venue search across 5 cities: Johannesburg, Nairobi, Lagos, Cairo & Dubai. Each city would play host to 100 tech engineers and developers for the one day event, so the venue had to be suitable for the brand and audience. The space also needed to accommodate a main conference room and three breakout areas for roughly thirty people in a classroom format. This meant that the team had to go on several site visits to these far-flung destinations – with a turnaround time of four weeks from brief to the first event, the clock was ticking…

With the setting taken care of, we had to ensure our techy audience were appropriately nourished. What better way to feed the grab-food-on-the-go crowd than with a hearty standing buffet lunch? After arrival refreshments and plenty of coffee to keep them going, they gorged to their heart’s content before settling down for the second half of the day. The production was sourced locally through our preferred supplier contacts, ensuring a well-run operation we could trust not to let us down.
