&lt;p&gt;The brief seemed simple enough. Deliver an event solution that allowed for communication of key messages in conjunction with the launch of the business strategy for the coming year in person, with the ability to field questions from the audience in real time. Add a celebration post-formalities for all attendees built around the central theme, and we have ourselves a challenge!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We needed immediacy, interactivity and a collaborative approach. Obviously it was time for a hybrid solution - linking a live presence to as many employees as possible with satellite launches held simultaneously to similar centralised employee events.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In building a solution, everything from 3D Hologram technology for live events, through to large-scale Telepresence suites were considered.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;So what technology has been chosen? The first of several key events will kick off in September here in Australia, and we will offer a case study as part of the review process before the roadshow continues into the US and UK. Stay tuned!&lt;/p&gt;</content:encoded><pubDate>Mon, 23 Aug 2010 00:00:00 -1000</pubDate><guid>http://www.alphaevents.com.au/news/hybrid-event-a-first-for-our-client/</guid><enclosure type="image/jpeg" length="2580" url="http://content1.alphaevents.thewebshowroom.com.au/media/pics/site/imagecache/99C652026ABE991333656B8E0A38BC8C.jpg"/></item><item><title>The Single-Source Advantage: Event partners, products &amp; strategies to support you</title><link>http://www.alphaevents.com.au/news/the-single-source-advantage/</link><description>Your one-stop-Event Management shop.

&lt;p&gt;We have forged new partnerships with fantastic, like-minded people in business to better serve our clients with preferred-supplier status (and the associated competitive pricing) as well as the trust that comes from our shared goals and vision.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This is what we refer to as your &amp;nbsp;&quot;Single Source Advantage&quot; - a one-stop-shop provided to support you throughout the event process, being management and communication channels all under the Alpha Events umbrella.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our production partners have proven time and again that experience and passion can deliver to any budget. Check out our gallery for the most recent examples of what we have achieved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our promotions partners also excelled in support and delivery to some very specific client criteria - in fact they were able to achieve results that others said were not possible!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our travel partners are arguably the best in the business. Whether it be group travel services, destination management or tailor-made solutions for your incentive needs our team will seek out the most competitive price and packages that suit your needs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Our &quot;Going Green&quot; event strategy has been tried and tested with new options available for our clients this year, having sourced environmentally-friendly products and services as viable alternatives across the event collateral spectrum.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Lastly, our new print and design partners will be an integral part of the Alpha Events story this year, providing exceptional results in what is undeniably a highly competitive industry.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We look forward to working with you again this year, or welcoming you to our pack soon!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For those that know Alison you will know she is more accustomed to sleeping under 5 Stars, and it&apos;s not certain she has ever graced the inside of a tent on a camping trip, let alone attempting something like this. But as has been said, she will be &quot;sucking it up, princess&quot; and trading the designer bag for a sleeping bag and a couple of pieces of cardboard for the night.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This annual experiential event is held to provide insight to those who can make a difference to the challenges faced by people who live on the streets, to raise awareness and all-important funds to help alleviate homelessness in Australia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you can support the cause, please do so. It&apos;s simple - just click the logo adjacent, click on Sydney, then search &quot;CEO&apos;s&quot; for Alison Barnes and leave your details.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;We all thank you in advance for your generosity and support!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The brainchild of and hosted by CIM Associate Publisher, Alex Yeomans, the event guest list featured the power-pack of the Australian and New Zealand MICE Industry at what was a mystery location up until a few days beforehand, when it was revealed we were off to Antarctica to party with the penguins! Proving once again that CIM stand by our Industry in good times and tough times, the night proved to be another extravagant and very personal show of thanks to the guests by our foremost independent industry publication.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
