Introduction

In a world that´s constantly changing, the organization of corporate events faces new challenges every day. From logistics to communication with suppliers, the ability to adapt and innovate is more crucial than ever. In this post, we will explore three pillars that we consider fundamental for success in the events industry: Sustainability, Quality of Service, and Flexibility.

Sustainability: More Than a Trend, a Necessity

Sustainability has gone from being an option to a necessity. At Forum d’Ideias, we are committed to this principle, so much so that we have already achieved the Travelife Partner award and are on our way to Travelife Certified. Starting in 2025, ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) will be mandatory in Portugal, but many countries are already implementing these measures. Sustainability is not just good for the planet; it´s good for business.

Quality of Service: Experience Matters

In an industry where details make all the difference, the quality of service is crucial. Our team, although small, is highly experienced and dedicated. However, we face challenges, especially when it comes to communication with suppliers. Staff turnover and lack of knowledge can lead to delays and frustrations. Therefore, the quality of service is not just about what we do, but also about how we manage relationships with our partners.

Flexibility: Adapt or Fall Behind

Lisbon, for example, is a wonderful city but with significant logistical challenges. Traffic is a problem, and we often have to be creative to work around these issues. Flexibility is crucial, whether in the choice of venues for events or how we handle unforeseen circumstances. And yes, we are flexible even when it comes to pricing and flexibility can be the deciding factor in winning or losing a client.

Conclusion

The world of corporate events is complex and challenging, but also incredibly rewarding. At Forum d’Ideias, we believe that the combination of Sustainability, Quality of Service, and Flexibility allows us to offer unique and memorable experiences to our clients. We are always learning and adapting, and it is this ability that makes us not just survivors but leaders in this ever-evolving industry.

We hope this post has given you a clearer view of what we value and how we approach the challenges of our sector. Thank you for reading, and see you in the next post!
