Site Visits to Venues in Europe

posted on April 25th, 2012 in General, News by jade@evolutionlive.co.uk

Here at Evolution Live time never stands still and throughout April we have been on our highest number of site visits for a month ever! These site visits are for many exciting events coming up throughout 2012.

Please read on for our reviews of just some of our favourite venues this month and some of the reasons why we think site visits are so important.

Millbrook, Bedfordshire (@Millbrook) site visit conducted by Andi and David

www.millbrook.co.uk/Page/Events

One of our most memorable site visits, this is a fantastic venue that oozes energy and creativity. This is a secure location due to major car manufacturers testing new concept cars which makes it an ideal venue for clients with sensitive or secure content. Staff are flexible and happy with many crazy and weird requests – they have nearly seen it all!

Grand Palace, Lille (@GrandeLille) site visit conducted by Andi

www.lillegrandpalais.com

This venue is located in Northern France and provides easy access links for international travellers. This convention centre is very accommodating and the staff are used to working with many different international clients.  Although we have worked with them on a number of events we are always impressed at the quality and convenience of the service provided.

Riverbank Park Plaza, London (@ParkPlazaHotels) site visit conducted by Andi

www.parkplazahotels.com

Since opening in 2010, this hotel has built on its strengths to continue its reputation as a 4* luxury hotel. Evolution Live have organised and produced a number of events at this venue and enjoy the ease of working with their teams to provide the best events possible. The hotel provides an efficient service and the facilities are modern and spacious.  

Stoke Mandeville Stadium, Buckinghamshire (@SMStadium) site visit conducted by David and Jonny

Last but not least, Jonny and David went to see Stoke Mandeville Stadium (home of the Paralympics) in Buckinghamshire. There are new facilities on site, and renovations have been completed in time for the Paralympics; the venue will be used throughout the Olympic period on various events. This space is a community centre and due to the recent activities has become a centre of excitement for the sporting events to come.

Many clients or competitors chose to opt out of site visits due to time management issues, staff and travel costs. 

It’s easy for us to justify taking the time to go on a site visit. It means we are able to talk to the staff on site who will be working with us throughout the planning process, walk through the various scenarios of the event, eliminate potential access issues, and generally envisage the event in the right context. It also enables us to build relationships with our clients, and allow them to visualise how their event will look on the day. At this stage we can often prevent potential issues from arising, and re-look at the way we have planned to do something so it is the most efficient and effective for our client.

No Doom or Gloom – Evolution International Group Limited set to Boom!

posted on April 23rd, 2012 in Press Releases by jade@evolutionlive.co.uk

PRESS RELEASE – FOR IMMEDIATE DISTRIBUTION

April 2012. Wingrave, UK. Evolution International Group Limited(EIGL) have heeded the advice of Prime Minister, David Cameron when back in November 2010 he announced that Asia was key to UK prosperity and that for the UK economy to grow, it should look further afield.

In August last year, EIGL, headquartered in Wingrave, Buckinghamshire decided to build on the success of its European and America’s business, Evolution Live – renowned for creating unforgettable events that motivate, inspire, captivate and inform. EIGL chose to follow Prime Minister David Cameron’s words by establishing Evolution Live Asia Pacific in Thailand to grow the Group’s business and global reach.

The Bangkok based team immediately set to work establishing local contacts and was quickly rewarded by winning its first major account with InterFace Flor, a Global commercial flooring manufacturer with a local base in Singapore.

Crew from Evolution Live in the UK, flew out to Hanoi where the Interface Flor event took place to lend their expertise enabling Evolution Live Asia Pacific to deliver beyond the initial specification and greatly exceed our client’s expectations.

We used Evolution Live’s traits of creating world-class events, allied with a local understanding and appreciation of the cultural differences to design, produce and deliver the event. The 4 day conference included gala dinners, workshops, team building exercises and new product launches. The key messages were carefully thought out and linked by our team through every aspect of the programme. The Evolution Live Asia Pacific team were able to create a truly successful event that inspired, motivated, captivated and informed InterFace Flor’s guests.

Robin Hales, Vice President Asia, Marketing and Product commented, “We wanted to bring our regional sales team and dealer partners together and create an event that would not only launch a new product and its messages to key members of staff, but also provide reward for their hard work.  When Evolution Live Asia Pacific pitched to us, we were really impressed by their creativity, thorough approach and attention to detail and we could see straight away from their existing client portfolio, that they had experience in producing exactly the kind of event we were looking for.  They said they would deliver an unforgettable experience and they truly lived up to this.  We are grateful to Stuart Granger, Executive Producer, Evolution Live Asia Pacific and his team – a brilliant event and the feedback from our sales team and the distributors was very positive which reflects on InterfaceFlor too!”

Evolution Live Asia Pacific will be building on the success of this first major event throughout 2012 and beyond.

The client wanted to enable the EMEA senior management team to engage, communicate and collaborate throughout the day, away from distractions in relaxed surroundings. Evolution Live was able to deliver all elements of this event, leaving the client happy with the end result.

Advisor Conference – January 2012 – Financial Client

posted on March 19th, 2012 in Conferences and Events, Recent Work by jade@evolutionlive.co.uk

NEEDED - A theme to link the conference and dinner to engage the audience without detracting from the key messages being delivered.

Our Solution…

For complete flexibility and immediately recognisable scenes, we selected a TV Station theme. The delegates became the audience in a “live” TV Studio. Presentations would be delivered in a variety of familiar TV programme styles. Current Affairs show styles were chosen to maintain a more serious note.

From the moment the studio signs turned to “on air”, the day flowed with the precision of a well-tuned TV station. CYFAS TV featured many shows including The Movie Premiere, Working Lunch, Sports Report and How to Look Good Naked. The afternoon break outs in the smaller studios featured a full court room set-up for Law and Order UK, Question Time from Blackpool, Panorama and The Dragons Den.
