Hg Senior Leadership Conference

Overview

Each year Hg host a prestigious Senior Leadership gathering, bringing together 100 CEOs and Chairs from their portfolio companies and senior partners as an opportunity for the delegates to learn from one another, build relationships and grow valuable, in-person connections. The three day gathering takes place in a luxurious retreat location, offering a schedule of engaging plenary presentations, breakout sessions, luxury dining with featured keynote speakers, themed high-end evening entertainment and personalised schedules for the delegates ‘downtime’.

Solution

The stunning Burgenstock Hotel in Lucerne was selected as the venue to host this year’s high-profile event across three days. Corporate Events services included overall Project Management to oversee all third party suppliers, extensive venue liaison, production consultation and onsite management, theming, a bespoke delegate registration site and pre-event communications, delegate off-schedule activities, event identity and onsite client and supplier management. The Project Management team hosted weekly calls with a robust action and solution system in place to ensure any obstacles such as language barriers and the management of multiple suppliers were overcome prior to going onsite.

Outcome

Our client said, “We were lucky enough to work with Hannah, Ellie, Rachel, Aaron, Laura, and the team for the planning of one of our most complex high value events. Our Senior Leadership Gathering, a 2-day conference based in Switzerland, a high-level C-Suite audience with over 100 guests, a complex agenda with extensive technical requirements. The CE team were extremely professional and proactive from the very start of this project, assisting us right the way through from initial site visits, full venue management and communication, micro site management, tech support through to onsite delivery. Ellie and Hannah were incredibly diligent with the project management of the event, with excellent communication and a clear division of responsibility within the team, we felt supported and reassured throughout the lead up to our event. Aaron from the inhouse tech team was on hand from the initial venue site visits through to onsite delivery and did an excellent job of working with the venue, providing solutions to our requirements, and ultimately taking the stress out of the tech and AV management so that our team could focus on the guest experience, this support was really invaluable to the team, as most event planners know that AV can quickly become a very stressful element to any event – Aaron and the team did an incredible job of managing this. The onsite support from the entire team was outstanding, thorough.”
