The brief
The annual company offsite is a headline event for Capco, with the purpose to align all areas of the business with updates in strategy and achievements. Being a consultancy company, these events have such a pivotal role in ensuring all employees feel connected and rewarded. As it was Capco’s 20-year anniversary they wanted to take this event to the next level and tasked SEVEN with making sure it was a real celebration, focusing on achievements but also looking ahead and cementing the goals of the business going forward.
The details
SEVEN secured Roundhouse, the perfect venue for putting Capco on stage headlining their own special event in such an iconic and legendary space. Production design was crucial for this event, as with detailed content to be shared we wanted to ensure visual impact and good sight lines for all 900 guests. So, we designed a unique set with a central curved stage with large LED screen at the centre, and two flown screens centring in the pillared domed space. Simple but effective, and not taking away from the venue’s impressive aesthetic.
The event content was shaped around the evolution of the business looking back at how far Capco had come and then looking ahead, with nods in the opening of the conference to popular culture references from the year of foundation and then fast forwarding to the present day with the concluding remarks.
Then while guests enjoyed reception drinks on the mezzanine, SEVEN transformed the space and revealed Capco’s very own gig night, complete with a full street food market and a headline performance. After an LED drummer opening act the headline, Park Hotel, an emerging new band, took to the main stage with the backdrop of an LED projection mapped ‘20’ installation as the highlight of the iconic celebration.
This was a successful event that really hit our brief of a special celebration. It was perfect space to deliver both conference and party and what a great transformation with the production and all the surprises that really elevated this year’s event.
