TMG Events account director features in top conference and incentive magazine

Shaun Lester responds to a brief he was given by a top selling conference and incentive magazine which was featured in their November edition.

The brief: stage an event next spring, to a short-haul destination, including a one-day conference, followed by corporate hospitality for 40 senior executives.

TMG Events account director Shaun Lester's reply:
Barcelona is ideal, and the place to stay is the impressive Hotel Arts. Recently refurbished, the rooms are second to none, and they offer sensational views over the city. Excellent conference facilities are complemented by an impeccable 'can do' attitude from the well drilled conference team.

For a group of 40, our pick for dinner would be the 4 Gats, tucked away in the atmospheric Gothic Quarter. The galleried restaurant evokes the age of Pablo Picasso, who was a regular there with his modernist chums.

In terms of corporate hospitality, watching Barca take on Spanish opposition at the Camp Nou would be the trip's highpoint. Here we'd organise a pre-match, behind the scenes tour of the stadium, culminating in a VIP reception in the President's room before watching the game from a private box.
