♻️ 🖨️ 🏗️ Revolutionising Events with 3D-Printed Infrastructure.
What if event infrastructure could be built on-demand, on-site, and with zero waste?

This is no longer a concept - it’s happening. At a recent tech expo in Cape Town, organisers partnered with a local 3D printing company to create custom modular booths and signage directly at the venue. The result?

🚀 50% faster setup times
🌱 Significantly reduced shipping emissions
💡 Fully recyclable, locally sourced materials

For Africa’s event industry, where logistics can be challenging and sustainability is a growing priority, 3D printing is a game-changer. It removes the reliance on costly imports, slashes event waste, and allows for fully customisable structures that adapt to any space.

Imagine a future where event stages, exhibition stands, and entire venues are printed overnight, built precisely for the moment, and repurposed for the next!

Tomorrow is International Women's Day…

We salute the dynamic force that women bring to our industry and beyond. In marketing and events, women have consistently shattered glass ceilings and redefined success. From executing innovative campaigns to orchestrating memorable events, the industry thrives on their creativity, resilience, and visionary leadership. 💪✨

I am incredibly proud to highlight one leader in our team - our very own “event guru” Karen Ashwin! Watching her in action is incredibly inspiring! Whether she's coordinating multiple high-stakes events, ensuring our teams and clients are delighted, or navigating diverse environments across Africa and the Middle East, she does it all with unparalleled grace and finesse. Her commitment and self-sacrifice, often seen as she jumps on planes at a moment's notice, truly exemplify what it means to lead with strength and compassion. 🌍✈️
Her innate ability to guide our organisation with effortless finesse not only propels us forward but also inspires each of us to aim higher! She personifies the power and promise of women, affirming that with unwavering determination and boundless passion, any challenge can be conquered. 🚀🌟 We feel this, viscerally!

Let's honour the strength, creativity, and unwavering spirit of women everywhere. When women lead, innovation thrives, boundaries are pushed, and new possibilities emerge. Here’s to the incredible women in our lives and to a future where every woman’s potential is realised. ❤️🙌

Elevating Event Impact with Community Engagement 🌍🌱

🌍✨ In today’s event landscape, impact goes beyond the moment - it’s about creating movements that leave a lasting legacy. Global brands are increasingly using events as platforms for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), ensuring their presence makes a real difference in the communities they engage with.

A great example is a corporate event in Ghana, where a multinational brand partnered with a local NGO to integrate a tree-planting initiative into their team-building activities. This not only aligned with their sustainability goals but also contributed to reforestation 🌳 efforts, empowered local farmers, and encouraged long-term environmental stewardship.

We saw another powerful example at the Kigali Summit on Malaria and Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs). This global gathering wasn’t just about discussions - it was a platform for action. Leaders and organisations came together to drive malaria awareness 🦟 , health education, and policy commitments, leading to the Kigali Declaration, a pledge to eliminate malaria and NTDs by 2030.

🌱 Events can spark real change - whether through sustainability, health awareness, or economic empowerment. When brands authentically invest in communities, they don’t just host events; they create impact that lasts long after the delegates have gone home.

How can your next event be a force for good?

Lead with Love. Always. 🫶🏽
Some might call kindness 'random', but isn’t it the most intentional thing we can offer?

Mo Gawdat, former Chief Business Officer at Google X and author of 'Solve for Happy', believes that happiness isn’t something we chase—it’s something we create by shifting our perspective. What if LOVE worked the same way?

Love isn’t just romance. It’s the way we nurture, uplift, and show up for one another. It’s in the small, deliberate choices that preserve our shared humanity.

💛 A kind word to someone who least expects it.
🙏 A moment of patience when it’s easier to react.
💡 A reminder to yourself that you're worthy of love, too.

And in business? The same principles apply. The most successful leaders, brands, and teams are those who lead with empathy, authenticity, and a commitment to doing right by others. Customers don’t just buy products - they invest in brands that make them feel seen, valued, and understood. 🤝

As Valentine’s Day and Random Acts of Kindness Day remind us, love isn’t just a feeling—it’s an action. A strategy. A force that drives connection, loyalty, and growth.

How will you 'lead with love' today - in life and in business?

The Psychology of the Blurred Background: Can You Really Trust Someone You Can’t See?

You’re in a virtual meeting. Their voice is clear, their pitch is solid… but their background? Blurred.

Or worse - some AI-generated boardroom that doesn’t quite sit right.

Subconsciously, your brain starts asking questions. What’s behind them? Why are they hiding it?

A study on virtual interactions suggests that people are less likely to trust someone who consistently uses a blurred or fake background. The lack of transparency, even if unintentional, triggers skepticism. In face-to-face meetings, body language, micro-expressions, and eye contact help establish credibility. Online, a digital wall between you and reality can create an unintended trust barrier.

Authenticity matters - even in the little things. Next time you join a call, consider switching off the blur. You might be surprised how much more engaging (and trustworthy) the conversation becomes.

Ever had an event go exactly as planned? Neither have we...

A staggering 90% of event professionals say last-minute changes are their biggest challenge. Flights get canceled. Speakers drop out. Weather flips the script. No matter how well you plan, something unexpected always happens.

But here’s the secret 🤫 : the best events aren’t the ones without problems - they’re the ones where the audience never notices them.

What’s the wildest last-minute curveball you’ve had to handle at an event?
