Bath-based Carsonified asked us to host The Future of Web Design (FOWD) 2010, a conference and exhibition with a host of speakers and interactive streams. Their aim was to excite attending designers about innovations in the industry and provide networking and creative sharing opportunities.
Central to their requirements was good wireless networking; The Brewery’s Wi-Fi network is one of the best in Europe, providing superb high-speed broadband from 20 hotspots throughout the venue. Social networking before, during and after the event, also played a key role in keeping all personnel and attendees up to speed.
Carsonified needed to sustain their guests on the move, avoiding queues for food. Our response was the ‘Market Stall Menu’ concept, comprising an international array of fresh, portable meals, available from mini outlets dotted throughout the venue.
These key proposals, combined with consistent project management and constant communication, helped make the event a great success. The Carsonified team have now decided to move their Future of Web Applications (FOWA) event to The Brewery.
The Association of Project Managers conference is an interactive forum bringing together project professionals and decision-makers from across the public and private sectors. It is a conference with exhibition and syndicate spaces during the day followed by a dinner in the evening.
The challenge for The Brewery team was to manage the logistics of transforming the conference space in a very short period of time from a cabaret setup for 250 people to a full dinner setup for 450. The event showed the flexibility of our catering to create a menu that can deliver equally high standards for the conference during the day and the dinner during the evening.
