The importance of an event running order!
Grapevine Event Management

Anyone that works within the events industry knows that a running order is more or less the holy grail. Trying to make an event run smoothly without a running order could be compared to a pilot of a plane having a rough guess of the flight route, time and end destination, no-one else knowing any info and then hoping for the best. Having recently watched the first episode of the newest series of The Apprentice, the importance of a running order of some sort was apparent. The teams were tasked to host a ‘corporate away day’ in the Scottish Highlands for a business teams’ day out. The team that l ..read more

Let's talk alcohol

More specifically alcohol at events, and the introduction of more non-alcoholic options. I’m partial to a glass of wine, however for the first time I took on Dry January last year, and attempted it again this year too (with partial success). One thing that I noticed over the past 12 months was the lack of choice for non-alcoholic drink options when attending events. A YouGov survey found that 44% of 18-24 year old drinkers now regularly or occasionally opt for non-alcoholic alternatives, which has risen from the 31% in 2022. It’s great when you go to a pub/bar/hotel and see the growing range f ..read more

A Wales wide awards ceremony celebrating the Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths sector. These awards were set up to highlight the incredible work taking pace in Wales. For the inaugural Wales STEM Awards back in 2020, due to the pandemic the awards were held online, however, the feedback following the event highlighted this did not dampen the experience of guests. I wanted to congratulate you on such a successful event last night. I watched it live and it’s the best virtual awards event I’ve seen – the look and feel was excellent, it was expertly hosted by Sian and the tech all ran rea ..read more

There was no waiting to be involved with events once I started at Grapevine, and I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way. The Fintech Wales Awards took place in September, on a very warm evening, something that’s hard to imagine now it’s December! This was my first event and the first time properly working with and meeting the Grapevine team. This was an instant indicator of how an awards evening is successfully managed. Some amazing businesses were shortlisted in what is evidently a very important sector for Wales. Two weeks later and the next awards evening was upon us, the Vale of Glamorgan ..read more
