From Soapbox to Supercar

FROM SOAPBOX TO SUPERCAR Remember the days when you spent countless hours piecing together an old ramshackle soapbox cart for an upcoming downhill race? Of course it was always based on the sports car of your dreams. We can make that dream a reality with a Supercharged Soapbox Derby... The day will start with a team building activity where each team constructs their own supercharged soapbox cart, purchasing parts to build the perfect racer. Each team will compete in a series of challenging trials, where the winning team will go on to the ultimate road driving experience with the most iconic supercars in the world. The winning team from each event will be invited to the home of Leapfrog International in Oxfordshire, where every team member will spend the day with our dreamcarevents crew, driving three of the world's greatest supercars for 200 miles through the Cotswolds - just you and the open road!      Prices start from £6,060.00+VAT*, including a fully managed Supercharged Soapbox Derby for up to 60 people, plus the ultimate supercar prize for a team of 6 people, including fully comprehensive insurance, fuel, lunch and refreshments.

Conference Programming

How do you keep delegates engaged at a conference? From electives and entertainment, to guest speakers and gala dinners - what's the right mix of activities?

There are many different reasons to hold a conference. It might be to review the past year, provide inspiration for the coming year, reward high performing staff, or a combination of all these and more. Whatever the reason, it's important to remember this when setting the program.

Some of the common issues we see at corporate conferences are trying to squeeze too much into a short space of time and forgetting delegates' attention spans. 

We've all experienced the guest speaker that seemed to go on for hours, only to be followed by another speaker who seemed to talk for twice as long. Or we've been to gala dinners with open bars only to have to be awake the next morning for a 7:30am briefing. When a conference is poorly programmed it can sometimes be the only thing delegates remember afterwards.

The next time you're setting the program for your conference, consider these points:

• How long can you really sit in the same seat?
• How much information can you retain from a speaker? Two speakers? A whole day of speakers?
• How lost do you get moving around a new location?
• What are you going to make your delegates do the morning after a night of celebrating? And at what time?
• Are you squeezing too much in?

How much time do you need to plan an event?

Any Event Manager will say that one of the most valuable resources when planning an event is time. But what happens when you don't have that time?

Leapfrog International recently came through for a corporate client, with less than 24 hours notice. Tasked with the challenge of keeping 100 conference delegates entertained for an afternoon, we delivered a high-octane, adrenaline-pumping Soap Box Derby!

At the end of the day the client commented, "I don't know how you do this all the time! It's so much work!" The answer is simple: It's just what we do. And after 18 years and countless events, we've learnt a couple of tricks along the way.

Have you started planning an event only to discover that time is running away from you? Why not give us a call to see how we can help you produce a seamless, professional, and memorable event.

It's not too late, call today - 01753 580 880!
