Corporate event food. How to get it right

Food affects our mood. When we are hungry, we are more likely to be irritable and unhappy. On the other hand, being full makes us happy and relaxed. But, with the rise of foodie culture, what we eat and how it looks are just as important as how much we eat. As such, enjoying beautiful, tasty food has become an integral part of many successful business events. At the same time, food and drink are often the elements of an event most commented on by guests. So, it’s vital that you get it right.

What is event projection mapping?

Event projection mapping uses video projectors to create amazing visual displays on a static surface. And it turns everyday objects - such as buildings and tables - into interactive displays.  Projection mapping is also known as video mapping, table mapping, spatial augmented reality, and 3D mapping. And, over the years, it has been used not only for advertising and decoration but also at concerts and the theatre. Basically, anywhere where real impact is needed.

“I can give APEX our positive feedback and a big thank you for all the IAS and EACS support. I would be happy to be a verbal reference and will continue to recommend Apex Exhibitions to colleagues both internally and externally."“This was our company’s very first exhibition since our conception 7 years ago and we realised that it would be crucial to pick the right partner. We initially invited five exhibition companies to talk through our ideas which we felt to be very specific. Apex Exhibition Designs interpreted those thoughts and came up with a design that we felt to be exactly how we wanted our company to be portrayed, and it even fell within budget."The project management was incredibly well executed. Apex were very well organised, demonstrating lots of attention to detail and thinking everything through at all stages. The Apex team of stand builders was very easy to deal with. Despite some stressful encounters along the way nothing was too much trouble and I look forward to working with them in the future.Our 4 days spent at the NEC was a joy largely thanks to Apex and the wonderful stand they provided us with. This was our first ever exhibition but will certainly not be our last and we very much look forward to working with Apex in the future.”
“Apex supported Autac with ideas, inspiration, support and vision, along with a product that was easy to assemble, move and store. Their expertise made the strains and stresses of preparing for a trade show much easier and did it with a smile on their face, we hold the Apex team in the highest regard and would have no issue in recommending them as an ideal partner."

"The stand is just fantastic!!" “I would like to thank you and your team for the great follow through before and at the congress.You, Mark, and the rest of the team were a pleasure to work with. Peter your execution of our booth plan and structural translation of our ideas was very impressive and you brought our realisation of the booth to life, even with a very restricted time frame. It was a pleasure working with you and your team.”

“Now that the dust is settling I just wanted to say, once again, thank you for helping to make our conferences successful.”  “Just wanted to say thank you for all your help yesterday for making the conference run so smoothly, it was really appreciated.” 

“Thank you to the Apex team for another stunning event. The organisation and production were just brilliant. The production in the main room was well beyond my expectations”. 

"Having previously worked with Rachel I knew that I could rely on the Apex team to deliver a hassle free event and I was not wrong.  Apex took the stress out of the before, during and after organisation of BevExpo2016.  The highest rated feedback from exhibitors has been related to the organisation of the event and I have no hesitation in recommending Apex as your future partner for your future event". 

"We have worked with Rachel and the Apex team on our prestigious annual awards ceremony for many years and yet again their creativity, patience and commitment has delivered an incredible ‘live’ event. From detailed concept planning to precise execution on the day we could not do it without them – they are now viewed as an extended part of our team! Our awards go from strength to strength and are held in high regards by our colleagues, clients and the industry. Thanks Apex’. 

"I just wanted to say thank you - from a supplier point of view - for your support last week at the Elior Conference. We were responsible for the supply of signage at the Street Food Village, as well as running our own supplier stand, and I have to say that I found the whole event was superbly managed by yourself and the team. You were always visible and available to offer support for any questions that we had - and I just wanted to say thank you to you and the team. Hopefully we will get to work together at future conferences with Elior - but thanks again!"
"We’ve worked with the Apex team for eight years and every year they surpass our expectations. I’ve just had 420 extremely motivated people and we can’t ask for more than that. If you want a fantastic event and great ideas, these are the people to talk to"
