Annual Conference

Delegant provides association management services for a large UK membership organisation. As part of this we provide full service management for the annual conference. Delegant has managed the annual conference for many years and in this time the attendance has doubled. Due to the success of previous conferences we were able to work with the association to extend the duration of the conference and this was the first year of the new 2.5 day format. The conference was held at Celtic Manor, Wales.

Ooops I did it again.....

What do you do to make 470 people speechless? What do you do to get 470 people quiet enough to be surprised? What do you do to get 470 people on their feet?  

Only five people in the entire room knew what was planned. The secret had been kept. A crash, shocked faces, and then the first waitress starts singing, then the second… and that is something nobody in the room will ever forget. Our singers had gone undercover. So undercover they’d even been serving drinks and serving food. Who would have guessed. 

Hover over the photo below and see what a difference 5 minutes makes. 470 people on their feet waving napkins to “That’s Amore” and a rather large Conga to the Proclaimers “500 Miles.”
