The brief

The Challenge for Transfers 2

Four days, one hotel, and one city wide adventure. Transfers 2 needed complete event management Bangkok and event production for a multi day conference, plus a team building Amazing Race through Bangkok that would bond 160 colleagues without losing anyone in Chinatown.

Multi day programmes compound risk. Every day has to reset perfectly, every session change has to land, and the team building day has to be safe, fair and genuinely fun for people who did not choose to spend their Thursday solving puzzles in 32 degree heat.

Permits and Compliance

Public space activity permissions, marshal positioning, transport licensing and full safety documentation were arranged in advance, with group insurance covering all 160 participants on the city route.

Lessons learned

What We Would Do Differently

"We would make the medical declaration a signed document, not a ticked box," says Pim. "Our safety system did exactly what it was built to do that day. Now we make sure it gets the full truth to work with."

Results

The Results for Transfers 2

The full picture: a 20 strong crew, four days, 160 participants from seven countries, 12 challenge stations across a 4 kilometre route, and a gala night with full staging to close it all. When one contestant, who had not disclosed a medical condition, suffered a heart problem mid-race, our safety officer and marshals had her to hospital swiftly, where she recovered well, while the rest of the race ran on without a ripple.

Ola, Transfers 2's HR director, told us: "Four days, not one problem. Our people are still talking about the race."

The Amazing Race scored a perfect 10 in the post event survey as the programme highlight, and four days of conference ran without a technical hiccup. Multi day programmes like this are where a seasoned event company in Bangkok earns its reputation.

Services used

How We Delivered It for Transfers 2

Transfers 2 used our full range. Our event company Bangkok team ran the four day conference with event production and AV crews, a show caller and an event director; our team building designers built and marshalled the Amazing Race; and the gala close came from the same production team, so nothing fell between suppliers.

Planning tips

Planning a Conference at Le Méridien Bangkok

Le Méridien Bangkok is on Surawong Road in Bang Rak, between the Silom business district and the old riverside quarter, a short walk from BTS Sala Daeng and MRT Sam Yan. Opened in 2009 with 282 rooms over 24 floors, it suits groups of 150 to 200 who want the conference, the bedrooms and the city on one doorstep. From here a city race can reach Chinatown and the riverside temples on foot, by boat or by train, which makes it a practical base for team building.

FAQ

Transfers 2 Conference and Amazing Race: FAQ

Do you design Amazing Race team building in Bangkok?

Yes, it is one of our most requested formats. We design the route, challenges, marshals, live scoring and safety cover, and we have run versions for Chanel, Singapore Airlines and Transfers 2.

Can you combine a conference and team building in one programme?

That is exactly what this project was: four days of serious conference content with a city wide adventure built into the middle, all under one event management Bangkok structure.

How do you keep 160 people safe on a city wide activity?

Marshal teams at every checkpoint, live tracking of teams, hydration stations, transport on standby and a safety officer with authority to stop anything. Fun is the goal; safety is the system behind it.

What hotels can host a four day conference in Bangkok?

We have delivered multi day programmes at Le Méridien Bangkok, The Athenee, Conrad, Amari Bangkok and more. We help you choose based on room flow, breakout needs and budget.
