The MCI UK contract is now nearly coming to an end with only one week left to go! My role as Production Manger at MCI has involved working on four events the first one being Hitachi Data Systems

Hitachi
This event was held over two days at the W Hotel, Barcelona and was an all round success.


On the last night of the conference a gala dinner took place at the Casa Batllo, a incredible building created by Gaudi himself.



GE Capital 
After Hitachi we had two events for GE Capital one in London at the Business Design Centre and the second at the Union Halle in Frankfurt.
Both events were one days events for approximately 200 delegates with Mike Neal the Chairman and CEO of GE Capital and Vice Chairman of General Electric Company attending and making a speech at both event.
MCI handled the entire event from website design, online registration system, logistics, technical production, event brand design and print.

Frankfurt 

 
 Both events were really successful and there are set to be two others in Europe later on in the year.

Network Sales Awards - The Post Office

Two days after GE Capital we headed back to London at the Hilton Park Lane to set up an awards dinner for the Post Office. 
This event was very production heavy creating a room within a room feel, we took the rectangular room and turned it in to a circular room with four screens on the outer edge so whichever way you looked you could see two screens this allowing for a central stage.
The screen content was effective, we paired the screens which allowed the content to run over both screens creating a the feel of it running around the room.

             

  

David and Carrie Grant were the entertainment for the awards and got all the audience involved in singing in the round! Neil Bentley from Heart FM London was our voice over for the evening and he then turned his hand to the decks to DJ or the night.

    

 
 
It was a really successful event and everyone partied on until 2am!

 
I have the pleasure of joining MCI for their summer gathering this week (fingers crossed for the weather). Once the week is over I start on the British Beach Polo Championships on Sandbanks.
