SMBC Aviation Capital's New Sustainable Headquarters Inauguration: A Celebration of Innovation and Heritage
The Client's World
SMBC Aviation Capital, is one of the world's leading aircraft leasing companies, they have a strong focus on sustainability and innovation. They recently embarked on an exciting project: the launch of their new headquarters at Fitzwilliam 28 Dublin. This state-of-the-art building seamlessly blends modern sustainability features with Dublin's rich architectural history, which is a symbol for both the companies forward thinking vision and respect for tradition.
We were given a clear vision as to what needed to be achieved: host an event that would showcase their new headquarters, highlight their commitment to sustainability, and impress key stakeholders. However, the stakes were high:
Challenge 1️⃣ - The event had to reflect the sophistication of SMBC’s sustainability innovations while maintaining a connection to Dublin's heritage, a balance that required careful planning.
Challenge 2️⃣ - With high profile attendees, including Minister Pascal Donohoe, the event demanded a level of professionalism and flawless execution that would leave a lasting impact.
Challenge 3️⃣ - the logistics had to ensure a smooth experience for all guests, from seamless registration to effective event flow.
