Culture Conference London
The Brief
This event is a key pillar of the Client’s Culture First Forum Global series, a high-end conference and interactive workshop experience tailored to the EMEA market.
Set in Central London, the venue offered excellent transport links for convenience and accessibility. To reflect the client’s brand values, the venue was to be aspirational and thoughtfully chosen to inspire attendees. Moving beyond traditional theatre or classroom-style setups, the space allowed for a casual and comfortable environment, encouraging guests to feel at ease, engage confidently, and actively contribute to the day’s discussions and activities.

Having worked with the client for a number of years, the initial challenge for 2023 was to find the right venue in central London, with natural light, comfort and above all to break away from the standard corporate event feel so many venues have. In 2024 the goal was to evolve whilst still using the same venue at 180 Strand, a private coworking and event space linked to Soho House. We recommended adding a 2nd studio space to the conference, which allowed us to increase capacity and mix up sessions throughout the day to avoid spending all day in one space.
Collaborating closely with our Client’s event and design teams, Ten80 Events was charged with bringing their vision to life in stage design, furniture layout and print production, whilst respecting the venue’s strict branding restrictions. We worked with the in-house AV partner to seamlessly manage keynote presentations, interactive sessions and panel discussions
