We are super proud of the Project Playground team: The event has won no less than 5 Eventex Awards! On 29 August, we organised a non-profit event with strong partners to inspire the event industry and to draw attention to three key themes: diversity & inclusiveness, sustainability and technology & innovation. And it tasted good! Read more about the event and the praises of the jury here.
Project Playground: 23 Choices was more than just an experience; It was a network event with a double goal. Organised by these five big names from industry, Boozed, Hot Pepper, Plugged Live Shows, The Fireflies, Baselmans AV and SugarFactory, it was their goal to get in touch with the audience for both new and recurring commercial opportunities, while showing what they were capable of, centered around the three major theme derivatives.
The event consisted of several programme items such as . . . . . . . . The core of this compelling experience was the idea that personal choices would determine the day of each guest. Each guest was offered a mask (preferably) during the entire first part of the event, called "The Maze of Choices'. The courage of the five organizing parties to address sensitive issues in an unconventional manner, which called for both praise and criticism.

I love the notion of making a journey, especially when it involves both technology and the ability for the participants to personalize their journey by making choices. I find it truly inspirational and hope to be able to use some of these elements in the events my association organizations. Congratulations and thank you for sharing.
