McKinsey & Company Conference and Dinner

Global management consulting firm, McKinsey and Company held a conference in the Grand Hyatt Hotel and followed by dinner for the partners of the company.

Facilitating the conference, the theme design for the panel is a ‘talk-show’ setup where the moderator will sit behind a desk, ‘interviewing’ the guests or panellists. It is a fresh break from the usual formats and received positive feedback.

The conference concept was brought to fruition by COMPASS in the Grand Ballroom and guests were treated to an evening of food and drinks in the Gallery Ballroom of the Hyatt Hotel.

The team pulled off the event within 2 weeks of the brief and with custom props made for the photo booth, it is without a doubt the guests enjoyed the post conference dinner very much.

Singapore Environmental Council SEAA Awards

The annual Singapore Environmental Achievement Awards (SEAA) recognising organisations who have gone the distance in suitability.

The annual SEAA Awards organised by the Singapore Environment Council was held in the One Farrer Hotel with Guest of Honour, Mr Masagos Zulkifli, Minister for the Environment and Water Resources.

The SEAA Conference and Awards recognises and rewards organisations that have exemplary environmental practices. Some of the key aspects include:

Sector – Specific
Performance

On the topic of event setup, positioning landscaping around the stage is standard fare practiced by many event companies. For the SEAA Awards, COMPASS designed a custom-made ‘planter’ to house the landscape. This helps visually, enhancing the theme as well as makes photos pop in the background.

The Emcee was carefully selected with Joshua helming the day’s conference in the One Farrer Hotel. His style of hosting and his experience with awards events makes him a clear choice for the event.

The design concept stemmed out of COMPASS suite of in-house designers and installation was done professionally with high quality plywood and canvas PVC Prints.

Pacific Life Reinsurance Dinner

Pacific Life Re Summer Party

Pacific Life Re celebrates the Summer Party at the Capella Sentosa.

Set in the Capella Sentosa, Pacific Life Re celebrates their annual Summer Party. With fairy lights specially setup for the evening event, a ‘dining-under-the-stars’ was set in place at the Gallery Ballroom.

Much of the event inspiration came from the Ryan Grosling and Emma Stone movie ‘La La Land’. It was though, supposed to be at the Bob’s Bar but an afternoon of heavy rain forced the event to take place indoors.

Registration started with a game where poker cards are cut into half and distributed during as guests are registering. The objective was guests were to find their ‘other half’ as quickly as they can in order to win prizes when the emcee calls for them.

Cocktail activities were part of the event experience and stations including all-you-can-take Photo Booth photos were part of the reception. In addition, Magnum Ice Cream Bar for those with a sweet tooth.

With an acoustic band for live music entertainment, one of the highlights for the Summer Party was the Grand Lucky Draw where the winner wins a flagship Samsung phone.

Celebrating Deloitte Asia Pacific

Celebrating Deloitte Asia Pacific at the National Gallery’s Aura

Deloitte Southeast Asia comprises of Deloitte practices operating in Brunei, Cambodia, Guam, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. Collectively, there are 330 partners and more than 8000 professionals available in 25 office locations.

To initiate, a special event was held at the National Gallery’s Aura restaurant.

Perched on the highest floor of the National Gallery, Sky Lounge at Aura is all-glass and overlooks the Padang as well as Marina Bay Sands. A choice location for many tourists who come to Singapore, Aura boasts a venue private and still accessible in the city.

Due to the centralised pillars located within the restaurant, a customised stage was built to provide a central focal point. Topped up with black carpet donning over the stage, it adds a level of elevation for the speaker and class for the entire event.

Careful planning to avoid the pillars has been taken into consideration during key moments of photo taking.
