Battersea Power Station, one of London’s most iconic landmarks, set the stage for an unforgettable event, impressing guests from the moment they arrived. The venue&#8217;s standout features, including the famous Control Room, offered a unique and striking backdrop for networking over drinks, perfectly aligning with the event’s theme of innovation. The cinema room provided a fresh alternative to traditional boardroom settings, delivering a dynamic yet relaxed atmosphere for the main program. Product demos were seamlessly woven into the experience, highlighting real-world applications without the pressure of conventional sales pitches. Guests were also treated to the breathtaking Lift 109 experience, enjoying panoramic sunset views of the city.

For the second year, Adyen entrusted us with producing The Adyen Experience &#8211; a vibrant in-person event for 220 merchants, prospects, and partners. The day needed to combine high-level insights into Adyen’s vision for 2025 with an atmosphere of connection and enjoyment. We made sure this wasn’t just another long conference of one-way conversations, instead, we prioritised creating a lively experience.

Experience

Our team curated a one-of-a-kind three-day festival that seamlessly blended elements of wellness, social engagement, nature and entertainment. Embracing the remote location’s questionable phone signal as a conscious choice, we offered guests a true escape from their everyday lives.
The experience kicked off in true style, with guests arriving by hovercraft, setting the tone for a weekend filled with unforgettable moments. Ditching the traditional ‘organised fun’ approach, we encouraged guests to explore and socialise at their leisure, in line with our client’s vision for a laid-back atmosphere that catered to a diverse range of interests. From rejuvenating wellness zones featuring yoga and breathwork sessions to fire-cooking dinners and food trucks, every detail was thoughtfully crafted. Central to the festival’s energy was a custom-built pub serving as a bustling social focal point, complemented by live music, DJ sets, and a woodland rave. Watersports and adventure activities kept the excitement levels high, offering moments of both adrenaline and camaraderie.
More than just a celebration, this bespoke festival was meticulously designed to honour our client’s accomplishments while fostering a deeper sense of community among their expanding team.

Redefining Global Collaboration for Taylor Wessing's International Partner Conference

A leading name in financial technology approached us with an exciting brief: to design and execute a celebration for their 10th anniversary. We knew it had to be more than just a run-of-the-mill corporate event. The occasion was an opportunity to align with the company’s employee engagement objectives: cultivating a stronger sense of unity within their workforce.
By crafting an unforgettable, immersive experience, we captured the essence of this client’s people-centric ethos. The result? Every team member emerged from the event feeling refreshed, appreciated, and more connected than ever before.

A Bespoke 10 Year Anniversary Festival on the Isle of Wight

Having worked closely with Sarah Le Cheminant (Taylor Wessing&#8217;s Head of Brand), we saw an opportunity to create a distinct visual and linguistic identity for the conference aligning to the idea of &#8220;Gateways to Growth.&#8221; The idea of the &#8220;gateway&#8221; became central to our thinking. A metaphor for new possibilities.
Our tech and production teams created a high impact plenary space for the conference&#8217;s core content, all beautifully lit, sequenced and choreographed. The biophilic set design and broader scenography brought a sense of calm to proceedings while subtly alluding to the central theme of growth. Throughout the venue there were liminal references to hope, endeavour and new opportunities. We worked in tandem with those presenting the conference&#8217;s key content to land their messages in the most human way possible supported by leading Maestro, Jeri Lynne Johnson, whose external keynote address reaffirmed Taylor Wessing&#8217;s commitment to collaboration, team performance, intentional leadership and diversity of perspectives – landed brilliantly through the lens of music and conducting.
There were social moments to break bread, listen to music, watch football, take in a carefully designed offbeat tour of Amsterdam. Human moments which created the space for barriers to break down and for human connection to happen. Moments for those attending to encounter new perspectives, opportunities to spend time together beyond the transaction.

Held in Amsterdam, and bringing together over 400 Global Partners from across the firm, our job was to work collaboratively with the Taylor Wessing team to:
<ul>
<li>Create a gathering which deepened the Partner&#8217;s understanding of, and engagement with, their international strategy</li>
<li>Facilitate knowledge sharing and networking among the international partner group</li>
<li>Showcase the firm&#8217;s commitment to being at the forefront of developments in the legal industry</li>
<li>Foster an international, collaborative mindset</li>
<li>Create a memorable, enjoyable, and engaging experience for all attendees</li>
</ul>
As a big change moment for Taylor Wessing, this conference had to have impact and humanity &#8211; leaving those attending engaged, energised and motivated.

Throughout the summer, three incredible artists &#8211; Amara Por Dios, Lois O’Hara and Jo Hicks are adding to the maze artwork with a series of live murals with the last one to be completed during the London Mural Festival, ensuring maximum exposure and footfall. Chilean-Swedish artist Amara Por Dios kick-started the activation with ‘Blooming Together’ &#8211; a design showcasing her signature style, inclusive of bright colour clashes, floral motifs and abstract faces which draw inspiration from global folk art, drawing attention to London’s diversity.
The launch came accompanied by live music, refreshing drinks, and opportunities for guests to capture shareable moments. Our goal of securing regional press coverage and sparking social media buzz was successfully achieved, with notable features in publications like <a href="https://londonist.com/london/things-to-do/maze-brent-cross-town" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Londonist</a> and <a href="https://secretldn.com/art-maze-brent-cross-london/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Secret London</a>. 
The Maze’s design uses a modular screwed timber frame system, allowing for 95% of the material to be repurposed at the installation’s conclusion. The artworks, painted on fabric, will eventually be repositioned on Brent Cross Town’s extensive hoardings.
The Maze not only offered a captivating experience for visitors but also effectively communicated the spirit and values of Brent Cross Town. By encouraging community engagement, artistic collaboration, and media visibility, our immersive activation successfully positioned Brent Cross Town as a vibrant destination within London’s ever-evolving cultural landscape.

Building a London community through immersive experiences

Guests embarked on a journey through Inflexion&#8217;s history within the captivating Turbine Hall and Bridge at the Tate Modern. With so many large corporate events often taking place in function rooms and hotels that look very similar, Inflexion strategically chose the Tate Modern &#8211; one of London’s most iconic buildings and a hub of creativity and innovation, showing their network that they break boundaries in comparison to the typical private equity firm. As a site renowned for hosting exceptional works of contemporary art, the venue also exuded an air of exclusivity as the doors closed to the public for this extraordinary celebration.
Stilt walkers welcomed attendees, who were met with a stunning champagne wall and the breathtaking sight of aerialists gracefully moving along the towering walls of the Turbine Hall, accompanied by captivating projections showcasing Inflexion&#8217;s evolution. A light was shone on Inflexion’s partnership with the Roundhouse with three of their incredible jazz acts serenading guests on the red carpet. Thanks to Inflexion, the Roundhouse has opened Roundhouse Works, a new creative centre helping young people with their businesses and careers in the creative industries, with the Inflexion Workspace inside the centre providing an affordable co-working space for young entrepreneurs.
Other details throughout the evening included a concealed curtain unveiling a glamorous speakeasy, offering a sensory feast ranging from edible delights to moonshine fountains. The dinner was complemented by inspirational speeches from Inflexion&#8217;s Co-Founders and Managing Partners &#8211; John Hartz and Simon Turner alongside Florencia Kassai, the Partner leading Inflexion&#8217;s Buyout Fund. This evening full of marvels stood out from the usual corporate scene, showing Infexion’s creativity, innovation and expertise, ensuring they left a mark as a world-leading player in the private equity space.

The goal was to unite their extensive network, highlighting the firm&#8217;s remarkable journey over the last 25 years while providing a glimpse into an even more promising future. Inflexion wanted the evening to break the mould of the typical corporate environment to foster a sense of fun and encourage escapism from the everyday grind that guests can get caught up in. This set the event and their business aside from others in the Finance industry as one that pushes the norm.
