To celebrate the San Diego team's move from a WeWork office to a brand new space of their own, executive leadership chose to combine the quarterly all-hands meeting with a Grand Opening Celebration. Customers were invited to join in the celebration
The new office was situated on a campus that offered outdoor entertainment space, which included a pavilion, turf areas for outdoor games, firepit nooks, and an expansive patio. I lead the events team in leveraging these spaces, along with communal spaces inside the office, to maximize the entertainment options.
At the close of the all-hands meeting, employees were invited to participate in a beer tasting and vote to determine the 'office beer' before heading outside to enjoy the reception. Yard games were sourced to provide a variety of activities. URBN Pizza & Bar and Cabetos Pops were contracted to cater the late afternoon reception. A DJ was hired to create a festive ambience and host karaoke in the later hours. Decor and branding were curated to celebrate the company's achievement, incorporating company colors in balloons, streamers, and signage.
It was a fun night filled with camaraderie and cheer. Employees shared that it was one of their favorite events to date.
