Challenge

With just five months to plan and execute, the team faced a tight timeline for organizing this curated strategy meeting. The goal was to create a program that aligned with the company’s focus on sustainability and innovation, all while delivering a seamless and memorable experience.

Solution

To meet the tight timeline, Brightspot’s team leaned on their expertise and strong vendor partnerships to streamline the process. Negotiating over $100,000 in cost savings, the team delivered high-touch experiences like a virtual streamed AI-Presence afternoon message complete with a beachside Ice Cream Truck break! Every detail, from sustainable venue choices to creative theming, was carefully managed to bring the client’s vision to life while ensuring a smooth and engaging experience for attendees.
