Welcome to the Charlie & Sprocket blog, a vibrant celebration of the vendors and partners who play very vital roles at our events. This section is dedicated to highlighting the diverse talents within our industry through engaging articles and our exclusive “Charlie & Sprocket Industry Spotlight” series. From culinary geniuses and mixology maestros to innovative florists and dynamic entertainment agencies, we showcase the people and partnerships that not only inspire our work but also drive the event production industry forward. Join us in celebrating the creativity and collaboration that bring our spectacular events to life.
Hosting live events is as much art as it is science. No one knows this better than our friends at Idea Hunter. Famed for their quick pivot and abundance of virtual talent offerings during COVID, Idea hunter became the go-to resource for event specialists with their unique approach to creative entertainment.
As thought leaders in our industry, it is essential to continually think of experiential ways to enhance programming, engage attendees, and create surprise and delight moments. By collaborating with my Co-Founder of The Collective: Women’s Empowerment Summit, and leveraging the services offered through her company, Tight Clinic, we curated a list of health and wellness experiences that would be an investment in our guests and something we knew they would love.
How we approach events in the past few years has changed dramatically. As the industry transitioned from live to virtual to hybrid and back to live, we discovered the resilience of our vendors who pivoted during the most dire times to continue that all important human connection.
With the holiday season among us, and with the larger in-person celebrations slow to return, we tasked ourselves to curate thoughtful and impactful client gifts that engage, show appreciation, and keep our brand fondly placed in their hearts and minds. As this is a service we offer for all of our on-line and in-person events, it was only natural to continue this creative approach for our absolutely amazing clients.
We look back at our recent experience at the Apex: XRPL Developer Summit, discuss our takeaways from the event and reflect on events post-Covid.
