Welcome to our first edition, packed with information on exciting meetings and events destinations, some updates from our creative team and further insights and inspiration.

In this edition, we take you over to Florence and Scotland in Europe and then back across the pond to Nashville, USA before delving into some exciting new inspiration on using tech to assist in storytelling and possibilities for event tech.

The Wonder of Florence

Florence, the jewel of Tuscany, offers an unparalleled blend of culture, history, and sophistication - perfect for executive-level gatherings with your partner bottling companies or team meetings with your valued partners and colleagues.

The Uffizi Gallery, Florence, Italty.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site boasts world-class venues nestled among iconic Renaissance landmarks, creating an inspiring backdrop for productive meetings and unforgettable team experiences. From intimate strategy sessions in boutique hotels to larger conferences in state-of-the-art facilities, Florence caters to various corporate needs.

After hours, attendees can network while savouring Tuscan cuisine, exploring the Uffizi Gallery, or marvelling at the Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore – cultivating connections and memories that extend far beyond the boardroom.

Why do we love it?

Earlier this year we worked with your colleagues to bring 15 partners to the city, who had a meticulously planned program that combined business with the rich cultural offerings of Florence.

Guests stayed at the luxurious Hotel Savoy, perfectly located in the city centre for a full Firenze experience. The culinary journey included traditional Tuscan cuisine at local favourites like Za Za and Cucina Torcicoda. A wine tasting at Il Cavaliere – Castello Di Gabbiano provided stunning views of the Tuscan hills and an opportunity to sample exquisite wines.

Another trend is bringing the consumer orientated technologies which push boundaries and bringing them into the increasingly experiential demanding needs when it comes to engaging meaningfully and inspiring the B2B world. Our creative team are currently exploring how we can collaborate with KalKul to create an offering around bringing websites into the AR space - it’s an exciting time with technology moving at pace and one that as an industry demands attention.

Seeing Echos in the Mind of the Whale

Intelligent storytelling at it’s best, in our opinion, if you get the chance we recommend a visit to ‘Seeing Echos in the Mind of the Whale’ in Barcelona. We love the way that Tom Mustill was able to bring his background as a biologist into his new passion as a filmmaker and writer - creating a story where people and nature meet.

Nashville,
Music City

A vibrant downtown Nashville.

Let’s go across the pond to take a look at the location of one of our projects earlier this year.

Soaking up the Southern charm of the Nashville music scene.

Street Musician from Nashville

We recently held an event for a blockchain company who were looking to host an exclusive event on the side of the Bitcoin Conference 2024. The location was Nashville, the vibrant capital of Tennessee. Famously the "Music City," Nashville offers an energetic atmosphere that inspires creativity and fosters collaboration which we think deserves a second look, even if you have been there before.

State-of-the-art convention centres and a variety of unique venues provide versatile spaces for meetings of all sizes, while the city's famous honky-tonks and legendary venues like the Grand Ole Opry offer entertainment for after-hours networking.

Opening in 2025, the Nashville Yards will host an array of exciting new meeting spaces!

Immerse yourselves and your guests in the local culture through activities such as songwriting workshops or tours of historic recording studios. Any Jon Bon Jovi fans out there can visit the new JBJ Bar.

The city hails a lively culinary scene! There are some great new up scale farm-to-table options to explore as well as some new to be classic southern bbq joints such as Butcher and Bee.

Have you considered...

Have you thought about... Scotland?

We have recently rediscovered the wonders of Scotland, including the stunning Gleneagles Hotel - historic 5-star hotel with excellent meeting facilities and even its own train station!

Scotland captivates with its rugged beauty and rich heritage.

The stunning Gleneagles Hotel, Scotland.

From Edinburgh's historic castle perched atop volcanic rock to the misty shores of Loch Ness, this land of legends provides an inspiring setting for innovative thinking and team building. Imagine brainstorming sessions in a centuries-old castle, networking amid the stunning landscapes of the Highlands, or fostering collaboration on a world-class golf course. Scotland's diverse venues range from cutting-edge city conference centres to secluded country estates.

By day, engage in productive meetings; by evening, bond over whisky tastings or traditional ceilidh dances.
