Signature sessions for the main room and the breakouts
Keynotes the audience takes part in, icebreakers for rooms of thousands, music, improv, storytelling and live painting for breakouts, each led by an expert who has held a corporate room many times. Timed to the minute and set up with your producer, venue and AV team.
A marketing team of 20 replaced a cancelled keynote at short notice in Upper Austria.

A practising painter guides guests through a portrait of their own, and everyone leaves with a finished canvas.
With James
How many people can a conference session take, and in which languages?
From a breakout of six to a plenary in the hundreds, with recorded formats for audiences in the thousands. Sessions run in English and, depending on the expert, in French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Arabic or Chinese.
Can a keynote leave the audience doing something, not only listening?
Yes. Interactive keynotes end with the room taking part, whether that is live flamenco, a sung chorus or a quick creative exercise at the tables.
How do parallel breakout rooms share one theme from the stage?
The keynote sets the theme and each breakout room has its own expert running a format built on it, so the afternoon puts the morning’s message into practice.
Can the same session run in several cities for one company?
Yes. One brief can cover kick-offs in several offices, with local experts in each city running the same design in the local language where needed.
How do agencies bring our experts into the events they produce?
Agencies brief us once, and our experts deliver inside the agency’s own production, cue sheet and running order, as one block or a series of moments through the event. Our partner programme sets out how agencies and planners work with us.

What fits each moment of your event
From the first minutes of arrival to the last night of an incentive trip, each moment of your event has formats that work and experts who have run them many times, for one table or the whole plenary, timed to your running order and set up with your producer and venue.
Arrival and openers
The first slot sets the energy for the day. A choir energiser, body percussion or a ten-minute rhythm reset turns a seated audience into one room before the first speaker. A booked kick-off of 150 placed five to ten minute energy, mindfulness and sound activations straight inside its agenda.
An incentive agency booked short activations for a 150-person kick-off in Frankfurt.
Sing as one: a choir energiser
A whole room learns a song in parts and sings it together, the fastest way to make strangers into one group.
With Polly
Body percussion that makes the room one band
A percussionist turns the audience into one rhythm with hands, feet and voices before the first speaker.
With Daniela
Dance your signature, no dancing required
A dancer and choreographer with twenty-five years on stage turns each person’s signature into one playful movement for the whole room.
With Clint
Which ten-minute energiser works at a European sales kick-off?
Short rhythm, breath, stretching or laughter activations placed between speakers. One booked kick-off of 150 in Frankfurt used five to ten minute energy, mindfulness and sound moments inside its agenda.
How do we build activity into an annual sales kick-off agenda without moving the speakers?
Use the gaps the agenda already has: the opening minutes, the slot after lunch and the close. The expert works to your running order and cue sheet, so nothing else moves.
Between sessions
After a dense morning, a room needs to move. A walk in the open air, a breath and movement reset or a guided meditation brings attention back in under half an hour and leaves people ready for the afternoon keynote.
Mobility for the desk-bound, between sessions
Targeted mobility for shoulders, hips and spine that releases the tension of a long morning in the hall, in minimal space.
With Elisa
Breathwork to lift the afternoon
An activating breath session that resets energy and clears the head before the next block, for a full breakout room.
With Marcela
A walk outside to clear the morning
A short somatic warm-up and an attentive walk in the open air, back in the room before the afternoon keynote.
With Lucy
What brings a conference room back to attention straight after lunch?
Something short and physical: laughter, breath and movement, or a guided reset of twenty to thirty minutes. Placed straight after lunch, it lifts the room in time for the afternoon keynote.
Closing night
The evening is where an event becomes a story. Live saxophone over dinner, a guided listening session or a performance the guests join turns the closing night into the moment people mention first when they get home.
Live saxophone for the evening
A jazz saxophonist plays the reception and dinner, for a table of guests or a ballroom of two hundred.
With Lemuel
Magic and the psychology of attention
A magician shows guests, live and at arm’s length, how attention and first impressions really work.
With Adam
Beatbox for the closing party
A beatboxer opens the party with a set, then has the guests building a track of their own by the end of the night.
With Grace
Can the evening programme on an incentive trip be live music or a workshop the guests join?
Yes. A saxophonist over dinner, a guided listening hour or a hands-on workshop before the meal all work, chosen for the group size and the tone of the evening you want.
Incentive trips
A reward trip earns its place in what guests do together beyond the hotel and the dinner: dragon boating off the coast at sunrise, a private concert in a grand setting, a culinary journey through the company values or a shared stained-glass window to take home. One brief covers the destination.
A private concert in a grand setting

With Agnese
A flavourful journey through your values
A chef-led culinary experience where each course carries one of the company values.
With Mariana
A collective stained-glass window
Each guest makes a pane and the group assembles one window, a keepsake from the trip.
With Alison
What can an incentive trip add beyond the hotel and the dinner?
Experiences guests share: dragon boating at sunrise, a wine and mindfulness tasting, a culinary journey or a keepsake made together. One brief covers the destination and the experts who know it.
