The brief

The Challenge for Glenfarne Group

Glenfarne's leadership gathered at Red Sky, one of Bangkok's most iconic rooftop venues 55 floors above the city, for a high level networking evening. Working alongside Miami's VIBE Agency, we were entrusted with all AV production and select production materials for a room full of people who close billion dollar deals.

Two things raised the stakes. First, the audience: executives and investors for whom this evening was one hour in a week of dealmaking, so every minute had to earn its place. Second, the setting: a rooftop 55 floors up, where wind, power and weather are all live production variables, and where our Miami partners were watching how a local team performs.

Compliance

Permits and Compliance

Rooftop production at this height means engineering sign off on every rigged element, wind loading calculations, and venue approval for all equipment movement through a working hotel. Our re-engineered rigging plan was documented and approved the same weekend it was designed.

Lessons learned

What We Would Do Differently

"We would schedule the site visit even earlier than the client asked," says Shawn. "That unscheduled weekend walk is what caught the wind loading. The lesson: never wait to be asked to look at the venue again."

Results

The Results for Glenfarne Group

The production in numbers: a 12 person crew, a six hour build window 55 floors up, display and audio systems for 120 guests from eight countries, and wind rated rigging specced for rooftop gusts. When our pre-event site visit revealed stronger than expected wind loading on the terrace, we re-engineered the rigging plan that same weekend, exactly the kind of problem solving our Miami partners noticed. Then, with heavy rain forecast for the evening, we made the call by 1pm on event day to move the whole set up indoors. It rained hard from 5pm to 8pm, right where the terrace set would have been, and the reception ran smooth as silk.

A seamless evening above the Bangkok skyline, delivered in true US Thailand co-production style. Here is what our Miami partners said afterwards:

"Outstanding team, highly recommended for events in Bangkok!

I had an excellent experience working with Phuket Event Company for a corporate event in Bangkok. From the beginning, the team was incredibly responsive, flexible and solution-oriented.

We had several last-minute changes and requests, and they handled everything calmly and professionally, always finding a solution. A special thank you to Shawn, who even came for an unscheduled site visit over the weekend to make sure everything was properly planned and that we felt comfortable with the setup.

On event day, the AV execution was seamless, and the entire team was attentive, reliable and genuinely a pleasure to work with.

When you are managing an event from overseas, having a local partner you can trust makes such a difference. Phuket Event Company was exactly that for us.

I would absolutely work with them again and highly recommend them to anyone organizing an event in Bangkok or Thailand. Thank you Shawn and the entire team for your amazing support!"

FAQ

Glenfarne Group Reception: FAQ

Do you co-produce with overseas event agencies?

Yes, it is one of our specialties. Miami's VIBE Agency brought the creative and the client, and our event agency Bangkok team delivered everything locally, just as we do for agencies from Italy, Singapore and the US.

Can you handle last minute changes from overseas clients?

Calmly and constantly. As Valerie's testimonial notes, last minute requests are normal in our work, and our job is to solve them before the client feels them.

What does rooftop event production require in Bangkok?

Wind rated rigging, protected power distribution, weather contingencies and venue specific engineering approvals. We have produced at Red Sky and SEEN, two of the city's highest profile rooftops.

Will you do site visits with visiting production teams?

Always. We walked the Red Sky site with our Miami partners on an unscheduled weekend visit before event day, because overseas teams should land in Bangkok feeling like the venue is already theirs.
