The brief: Our team in Vietnam was tasked with designing and managing a four-day incentive program for a leading US tech company, bringing together 350 of their top performers for a memorable journey through Da Nang and Hoi An. The program needed to strike the perfect balance between cultural discovery, meaningful connection, high-quality entertainment, and time to relax.
Challenges and outcome: The centrepiece of the program was a gala dinner set beside the river in Hoi An. It was designed as a sophisticated yet atmospheric celebration, blending Vietnamese charm with the sleek standards of a global brand. Just days before the event, weather forecasts predicted rain, prompting a request for a full marquee solution. Our team swiftly sourced and installed a marquee complete with air conditioning, sound and lighting systems, and tailored event branding.
With the event taking place during Vietnam’s busy high season, last-minute requests for additional signage and branded elements across both destinations could have caused delays. Instead, our strong local partnerships allowed us to meet every request with speed and precision.
Across the four days, guests enjoyed a seamless blend of activities. Beachside team building in Da Nang created space for bonding and fun. Cultural immersions in Hoi An brought local stories to life. The riverside gala dinner, with its glowing lanterns and curated performances, became a true highlight and a fitting finale.
