Sometimes the best part of the venue is what happens when you walk outside it.

A city gives an event something a production team can't manufacture.
Its rhythm.
Its architecture.
Its food.
Its people.
Its neighbourhoods.
Its sense of place.

Ahead of World Cities Day, we're celebrating cities as part of event design.

A Dubai launch can use the city's scale and energy.
An Abu Dhabi gathering might take a completely different approach.
A European programme can move from a business session into a historic neighbourhood, private courtyard or local kitchen.

The best destination events don't hide the city behind ballroom doors.
They let guests experience it.

If you could take your next event anywhere, which city gets the invitation?

Before you copy last year's event into the 2027 calendar, ask whether it still deserves to look the same.

Annual doesn't have to mean automatic.

Maybe the audience has changed.
Maybe the business has changed.
Maybe your guests have seen the format five times already.
Maybe the event needs to become smaller and more focused.

Or considerably bigger.

That's why we like starting with a vision session rather than a venue search.

What matters in 2027?
Who needs to be there?
What would make their time worthwhile?

Then we decide what kind of event answers those questions.

Planning a milestone, launch, leadership gathering, brand event or something harder to categorise?
Let's start the conversation.

90 days until the event. Six questions. How many can you answer confidently?

What are we trying to achieve?
Exactly who are we designing for?
What happens from arrival to departure?
Are the critical suppliers locked in?
What's Plan B?
How are we measuring success?

Then look outside the event itself.

What's happening in the city that week?
What will traffic look like?
Is the venue genuinely ready for your production?
What does the weather normally do?
What needs permitting?

A good 90-day review isn't about creating another checklist.

It's about finding the problem while there's still enough time to solve it properly.

Planning Q1 2027? Now is a very good time to start asking awkward questions.

Sometimes the brief fits neatly on one page.
Sometimes it arrives with 14 stakeholders and 37 non-negotiables.

Both can become brilliant events.

Complexity isn't necessarily the problem.
The problem is complexity without priorities.

At GEM, we start by working out what the event genuinely needs to achieve.

Then we shape the guest journey, creative, venue, production, hospitality and logistics around that.

The result might be an intimate dinner.
A community event.
A product launch.
A gaming experience.
A luxury incentive.
Or thousands of people walking into something spectacular.

Different answer every time.

That's rather the point.

If your next brief has a lot of moving parts, send it our way.

A beautiful event can still get the basics culturally wrong.

The wrong timing.
The wrong form of address.
A menu that hasn't considered the audience.
A programme that ignores what's happening locally.
Or a supplier who knows the venue but doesn't understand the guests.

International events require more than translating the invitation.

At GEM, three things sit high on the list:
Timing. Protocol. Trusted local partners.

They aren't glamorous.

They can be the difference between hospitality that feels genuinely thoughtful and hospitality that simply looks expensive.

Planning internationally? Build local understanding into the brief from day one.

What if the most exclusive part of a 2,000-person event was designed for eight?

That's where micro-moments get interesting.

A huge launch can still contain an intimate product demonstration.
A conference can create a private conversation with a speaker.
A festival can hide a completely different experience behind one door.
A luxury event can give guests something personal rather than simply giving everyone more.

GEM loves producing the spectacular.

But scale and intimacy aren't opposites.
Some of the most interesting events use both.

Would you rather have front-row access to the big moment or discover something only a handful of guests experience?

A room full of people wearing name badges is not a networking strategy.
Neither is putting “Networking: 4:00 to 4:30” on the agenda and hoping for the best.

People tend to connect more naturally when they have a reason.

A shared challenge.
A discussion worth joining.
A table small enough to actually hear each other.
An activity that removes the awkward introduction.
Or simply a space designed so people don't have to shout over everyone else.

GEM creates everything from intimate business gatherings to gaming events, conferences and large-scale experiences.

Different audiences connect differently.
Design for that.

Planning an event where connections matter? Let's make networking something guests don't skip.

International event. Local rules. What would you ask before you started planning?

Timing?
Dress?
Dining?
Introductions?
Business etiquette?
Hospitality?
Local suppliers?

What works beautifully in London, Dubai or Singapore won't necessarily translate unchanged somewhere else.

That's part of what makes international events interesting.

For today's Ask GEM, we're opening the comments to questions about local detail and global hospitality.

After 35+ years of events, we've seen how seemingly tiny cultural details can affect everything from an intimate executive dinner to a major international conference.

Ask us something.

If the menu could be served in any city in the world, something's missing.

Food can do much more at an event than feed people.

It can introduce a destination.
Start a conversation.
Support local producers.
Give an international guest their first taste of something completely new.
Or turn a dinner into one of the parts of the trip people actually remember.

Ahead of World Food Day, we're celebrating menus that belong where they're being served.

That might mean contemporary Emirati flavours in the UAE, a chef opening up a private kitchen in Europe, or locally sourced food woven into a large-scale brand experience.

The destination is already full of ingredients.
Use them.

What's the first thing you'd want your guests to taste in your city?

“We need an event.” Good start. Now the interesting questions begin.

Who needs to be there?
Why should they care?
What should they do, feel or understand differently afterwards?
What's going to make them talk about it?

And what absolutely cannot go wrong?

Only then should we get excited about venues, stages, menus and everything else.

After 35+ years in events, GEM has worked across very different briefs, from intimate private gatherings and business events to brand activations, community experiences, launches, gaming and large-scale productions.

Our job isn't to make every event look like a GEM event.

It's to make it feel completely right for your objective and audience.
