Examples of ones we've done before:

Career Development keynote event for Pfizer – designed to help Pfizer focus its employees on taking personal responsibility for their own career development.  After the keynotes were all done we offered a 20 minute cameo performance with cult punk rocker John Otway.  Pfizer Aftershow 

Ice Cream Summit for Unilever in Rome – after dinner event where the day’s ideas and learnings were brought together into a harmonious whole via the power of rock music. Plus after hours 'jamming' session.  Here we see a brief clip of the after hours session.  Not as much smoke and lighting as a Prince aftershow but you get the general idea!  Unilever ROCK!

Accelerated Learning Conference for 300 teachers – In 30 minutes the whole audience rewrote a ‘teaching anthem’ and performed it on stage in a School Hall in Tunbridge Wells. No need for sex, or drugs, just pure Rock’n’Roll.  Teachers at the SCHOOL OF ROCK!

Personal Development Conference for 250 Marketing and HR people at Brands Hatch Racing Circuit – We combined input from a business guru with a talk and stunning performance from Cult Punk Rocker John Otway, performing with Peter Cook’s spoof heavy metal band “Genital Sparrow.”  HR ROCKS!

Strategic leadership conference in Barcelona – after dinner event where we delivered a keynote speech on leadership and innovation to act as a stimulus to the following day’s dialogue. Followed by some improvisation and jamming by the leadership teams.

Leadership standards keynote – Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD) Professional Standards Conference, University of Keele

Conference for Chartered Management Institute in Scotland – this included a jam session with a guitar and some bagpipes – there is never a camera around when you need it  CMI REVIEW
