Most recently, we were tasked with assisting Leica in their October 2010 road show taking in 11 venues around the UK in just three weeks.  Working up a list of venues across the UK from London to Inverness, Dublin, Belfast and everywhere in-between, we started with rough geographic locations and estimated audience numbers, performing a national search for venues that would slot into the road show whilst also being of adequate quality for client engagement events. Specifications included: ample parking, easily accessible, outside space, conference area, exhibition area and break out spaces.

As the road show ran in October, (a peak conference month), it was all the more difficult to find suitable venues with the appropriate dates available to slot into the road show schedule.  Our team  was also tasked with finding suitable accommodation (close to venue and within budget) for the Leica road show delivery team (10 – 20 pax).

Needless to say, Lisa (‘Event Manager Extraordinaire’) worked her magic, not only providing a shortlist of suitable venues and negotiating the best rates but also exceeding client expectations with her selections and some clever route planning, making the best of the distance between the various towns and cities, she managed to reduce their usual 5 week road show down to just 3 weeks.

And the cherry on the cake …..our venue finding service is offered Free of Charge and does not need to be booked in conjunction with any of our other services

Astonbury is a local (takes place in Aston Abbotts) outdoor music evening which takes place annually. Since it started in 1999 the event is bigger than ever and there are no signs of it slowing down.

With outdoor festivals around the country fast becoming more popular than ever, local music festivals are a great way of showing home-grown talent as well as bringing the community together. It is estimated that 600 people attended Astonbury 2010.

The event took place on the 17th July 2010 and was a great night for everyone involved.

 The two day conference specialises in the science behind crime with audience numbers of approximately 170.  Its not all work for the delegates though as tonight there will be a gala dinner with various games for the guests to enjoy; including a Cowboy shoot-out competition, and laser quest all supplied by Evolution Live.

Evolution Live have worked with KFC for many years, on both large and small scale events.

The aim of the video was to explain the vital role that logistical services play within the MetPolice. This includes: all modes of transport from boats, cars, bikes and helicopters and other services such as uniforms, criminal exhibits, the museum and operational catering.

The outcome will be a 20 Minute informational film.

Evolution Live has been involved in the entire video production from: storyboard creation to filming and post-production. We will also be involved in the DVD duplication in order for it to be distributed throughout the Metropolitan Police. 

The clues were displayed in the shop windows following an educational theme which allowed the children to have fun whilst learning and encouraged them to get involved.

The event was well received with just under 300 children taking part and exploring the High Street for clues. The prizes ranged from a Wii fit to a family membership for the National Trust; and entertainers included Balloon modellers, Stilt walkers and face-painters. The event was free to Aylesbury Vale Residents.

If you were there we would love to know your thoughts…

Through our experience we know what makes an event work; we also know how easy it can be to miss essential items.

So we have provided you with a useful checklist for events to ensure it  runs smoothly. There are no specifics as each event is unique, but this will serve as a good starting point for any event.

We hope you find it useful.
