Heineken Global: 2024 Forum

The Brief

HEINEKEN’S 2024 Annual Forum was hosted in London. This is our fourth Forum activation. Forum is where 180 global senior leaders representing Heineken® and its portfolio of brands converge in one city for a 2-day event. It’s a space to collaborate, inspire and plan the next phase delivery of their EverGreen strategy. The brief was to make London Forum even bigger and better than Athens 2023.

What we did

The venue was Evolution London, which allowed us to be more ambitious and build on a bigger scale than before. We used a new in-the-round auditorium format that created an intimate environment with three giant wrap-around screens for optimal immersion.

On arrival, the delegates entered a station concourse, which was the start of their ‘journey’ across London. The first stop was the Beavertown Gallery, with its own stage and aerialist performance. Dancers then took the delegates through the secret fridge doors to the next stop, the auditorium.

For the breakout spaces we recreated and revealed iconic London locations including Camden, Brixton and Shoreditch. The versatile breakout spaces allowed us to reset for the Thursday evening dinner and party in less than 2 hours and change the environment to surprise the delegates.

We handled every stage and element of the event – including concept creation, design, conference scheduling, production, implementation, and on-site management.
