the full story

Avent wanted to find a central European location for their Annual Conference so called upon Corporate Innovations to help source a location and coordinate the event. The two-day event provided the setting to facilitate networking opportunities between the Avnet sales teams and the vendors of their products. The conference would also be an ideal chance to update all parties on company business and future product strategy as well as showcase new products and reward employees.

Marbella, in the south of Spain, provided ideal transport links for all international delegates and Corporate Innovations chose the beautiful Hotel Beatrice to host the conference. The two-day event started with a company introduction by the Chief Executive followed by a product showcase. Some ten product vendors held smaller presentations to groups of delegates, providing demonstrations, literature and details of the new products to the Avnet sales staff.

The product demonstrations were followed by a competition which asked each country to prepare a video advertisement based on a topical subject from the day. The video submissions were edited overnight by the Corporate Innovations team and shown on the last night at the Gala Dinner, where delegates had to vote for the best video.

After an informal barbecue on the first night, which allowed all delegates to get to know one another, the second day involved market analysis discussions and further product demonstrations. Once the conference was formally closed by the Chief Executive of Avnet, guests were entertained with a Gala Dinner, where a small awards ceremony was held and the winner of the video competition was announced.
