Corporate Social Responsibility is becoming an increasingly important aspect to business and events today. Incorporating CSR in events allows clients to turn their values into action and it can have a positive impact on attendees as it gives them a sense of purpose and fosters a culture of teamwork. We are constantly trying to encourage clients to integrate CSR in events. And what better way than to try these activities first-hand. Our colleagues Skye and Romy attended an event organised by GoTo Events and Sleep Pod UK at the Leonardo Hotel St Paul’s to make sleeping pods for the homeless. Here’s what they had to say:

Over ten days in October key #Activaters were in #HongKong, making the biggest impact within an ambitious pan-Asian event for a manufacturing client. The large majority of delegates were based in Asia, so Hong Kong was an obvious choice given its regional hub position and desire to maximise attendance. Indeed, our event was the largest training event delivered to date! No less than 700 attendees gathered at the Nina Hotel Tsuen Wan West for an internal staff training event, while the client was running in parallel a separate training event at the InterContinental Grand Stanford Hong Kong. We found the hotel to be fantastic! We were all really impressed with their exceptional attention to detail throughout our event, and we enjoyed the support of Destination China, represented in the UK by Mags Shaw at MagsWorldwide.
