Since our last post we’ve been to Helsinki,
Stockholm, Oslo, Copenhagen, Lagos, Brazil, Dubai, Singapore, Amsterdam, Paris
and back again! So it’s not to say emc3 haven’t been busy, but we sure do like
it that way!
When most of London was asleep, emc3 was
up, creating a mind-blowing set
production for our clients’ Linkedin. Taking
over the Hilton Metropole in Edgware Road for the Talent Connect Conference
2013 from Tuesday October 16-Thursday 18th 2013, we managed the Linkedin
Training Day, Certification Examination Day, VIP Dinners, Main Conference and
After party for over 1000+ of EMEA’s leading recruitment decision makers…
Nothing can compare to the feeling of being
there and attending the conference, but we always think photos speak louder
than words! Check our photos below:

Connect Registration Desk
This is where our 1000 + attendees
registered- swift process of collecting badge and a welcome bag including
details on the 3 day agenda and gifts.
As
guests registered for their certification examinations on the Wednesday, little
did they know what was happening above them…
we
worked on turning this room…
into this..
..an Ice-Cave
and clean-white feng shui garden. Purpose-built for refreshment breaks and
attendees to get some time out of the main conference to network. Check out our
really cool time lapse video of this set build and

Main
Conference
After
Party
This was kept as a surprise to all delegates
throughout the conference, the only clues they received where ‘there will be
many celebrities there’ much to everyone’s excitement! When coaches turned
the corner laughter could be heard at the
back as they finally realised the location of their evening, Madame Tussauds,
the home of celebrity wax works!
Joined by celebrity lookalikes Will Smith,
Austin Powers, Keith Lemon, Harry Potter, David Beckham and characters on
stilts including the Queen and King, Members of Kiss, Michael Jackson and Amy
Winehouse it was a fantastic evening amongst the celebrity figurines.
The
Worlds Stage was the hub for the after party, with a huge amount on offer to
keep the guests entertained all evening. Various stalls were setup around the
room serving delicious food from all over the world, from South America to
Spain to India and the USA. As well as this, there were interactive games and
activities such as a super photo booth where guests could have group photos
taken
with props, in a strong air machine, with
bright lights and interactive posers. There was also a virtual penalty
shoot-out run by a David Beckham lookalike.
As the evening ventured further, the drinks
continued to flow and the dance floor got busier and pumping resulting in an
extended conga-line. There was a performance by the Will Smith lookalike which
undoubtedly got the crowd moving, and our Ibizian DJ continued to pump out
tunes until the early hours.
We’ve truly enjoyed our time planning and
organising what has been a spectacular conference, and looking forward to the
next one.
