Santander UK Conference
Creating the extraordinary within the ordinary
Step into the Santander Experience: Gathering 2,500 Senior Members for an Unforgettable NEC Takeover.
Explore a world of intimate team building and captivating keynotes as we unveil the distinguished four-day journey that redefined corporate camaraderie.
In partnership with B4Z.

The Challenge:
Create a home for good conversation and engaging networking.
The Idea:
Cultivate a comfortable space for uncomfortable conversations using dynamic staging and engaging AV.
The Solution:
Juxtaposing stages.
A grand 360 degree keynote stage, blending design inspiration from Apple launches and TED Talks was then paired with a series of five private wooden structures with a 360 degree ‘open’ style communication platform.

A home for good conversation.
Transformative takeover
A monumental four-hall takeover of the prestigious NEC, where contrasting stage areas and festival-worthy lighting not only captivate but transport guests to an extraordinary realm.

Beyond the brief
To foster truly intimate conversations, we created unique agoras designed for inclusivity and engagement. In these spaces, all participants face each other, and we purposefully eliminated hierarchy and technology distractions, ensuring authentic, unfiltered dialogue.
To amplify the presence of the senior leadership team, we drew inspiration from TED Talk staging, crafting an environment that perfectly balances professionalism with engagement.
