We can all agree that 2020 won’t be the big year that many of us in the events industry had dreamed about. The Coronavirus is a global pandemic that has caused and will continue to cause cancellations of events across the world. As a European venue finder and corporate events organiser, we are feeling the effects first hand. Instead of focusing on the negative, here at Akommo, we wanted to take this time to bring positivity to our industry and remind everyone that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and we will overcome this together. We want to take this moment to highlight some of the wonderful events we sourced venues for in Europe in 2019. By looking back and celebrating these events, we can all look forward to what will come after this global crisis passes.

As a European venue finder, we were able to help this client find various spaces for a large-scale 2-day conference in Barcelona. The conference took place in one of Barcelona’s premier 5-star hotel ballrooms. It included a luxurious buffet-style lunch on the terraces overlooking the sea, followed by a gala dinner at a stunning, historical gothic building, which can be seen in the picture above. The client also used one of Barcelona’s best local catering companies so the guests left the event satisfied both with the gastronomy and experiencing unique venues.

We had the pleasure to assist with a charity bike ride last year that included 6 cities in southern Spain: Seville, Cordoba, Jaen, Granada, Salobreña, and Almeria. We ensured the client had hotel accommodations in each city, as well as meals, bike storage, and vehicle parking. This is an ongoing annual event, and as a European venue organiser, we can help with the logistics of multi-city events.

We found this unique venue in Lisbon for our client who was looking for a memorable experience for their company Christmas dinner. This warehouse has been turned into a multifunctional space and with the option to use candlelight, it creates a medieval feel. The guests not only relished the dinner, but it was turned into a dance venue afterwards so they could boogie the night away.
