DELOITTE – ALL ABOARD FOR THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT

A unique experience with 4,500 people aboard on a journey across 5 continents. A Christmas party that took all the guests on an amazing journey, full of surprises and technology.

A unique Christmas party for all Deloitte employees in Portugal; around 5,000 from all over the country. A time for Deloitte to convey its appreciation, and a time for socialising and relaxation at the end of the year, as the team grows every year and team members have fewer opportunities to spend time together. With this party, the expectation is to share experience, exchange knowledge, and above all have a lot of fun. Sharing, unity, knowledge, fun and business values were the keywords for the event. Knowing that only in this way can the entire team come together and, all aboard, create a better future.

Inspired by the Christmas magic of train stations, we transformed a 10,000 m2 event pavilion into a giant train station. The design was based on the world’s most beautiful stations and named the Deloitte Grand Station.
After check-in the guests were challenged to explore and feel the Christmas spirit. A place full of magic, where everyone was surprised. Music on every corner, porters handling luggage and dancing, shoe shiners who sang, paperboys who distributed newspapers announcing only positive news, people handing out sweets, ticket inspectors, a Kiss & Hug corner for photos, and restaurants with food&drinks. Bells rang out, and we were taken on a journey to 5 continents through a giant curved screen, 86 metres wide, which created an immersive effect using high-resolution multimedia content. On each continent, the train stopped to take in a show featuring more than 20 dancers representing one country from that continent. We hired a successful choreographer who made all guests dance.
