Business Issue
Following multiple acquisitions, an international medical device company needed to unify its global sales organization quickly. Leadership made the decision to host a large-scale sales meeting in Europe to bring together new and existing talent for training, motivation, and cultural alignment.
With only four months of turnaround time, our client needed a seamless event across regions, languages, and cultures.
Key challenges included:
- Coordinating a global event for more than 500 participants (on an accelerated timeline)
- Managing logistics for hundreds of attendees traveling internationally
- Creating an experience that balanced education, motivation, and networking
