26 · The Leading Hotels of the World, Ltd. · Invite-Only Showcase
London Showcase
30 St Mary Axe (“The Gherkin”), Central London
Overview
Produced an exclusive, invite-only showcase in the rooftop restaurant and event space at the top of the Gherkin — one of the most iconic buildings in Central London, with panoramic 360-degree views across the city.
- Curated the guest list to the top corporate buyers and travel trade, invited to meet directly with The Leading Hotels of the World's participating members.
- Worked to a 30-minute load-in window for all production, AV, lighting, decor, rentals, member displays, and collateral — the venue's only available access before doors.
- Replaced conventional display stands with light, movable plinths and tablet-based property presentations so the room could be set and struck at speed.
- Brought in a fresh, contemporary band and live percussion set against the glass dome and skyline for the reception.
- Served a modern twist on classic reception food and beverage, with sparkling wine service throughout the evening.
- Generated over 40 direct buyer meetings and potential booking conversations across the event.
- Created and implemented a full risk-assessment plan for the event.
- Worked with stakeholders to align on event goals, objectives, and strategy from the outset.
- Led the event from concept through completion using in-depth project management.
