It’s the largest tech event for women in the UK.

GEORGE P. JOHNSON – CISCO LIVE 2019
Cisco Live 2019 – Reinforcing Cisco’s position as the leading IT Networking business in the world.
Part of a global series of 4 events Cisco Live EMEA is Cisco’s second largest market and fastest growing region. Creating an event for 15,900 people is no mean feat but as Cisco’s trusted partner on this event for 15 years George P. Johnson know their client and their audience inside out.
This year GPJ went above and beyond the clients targets by delivering a new vibrant interactive space called ‘The Playground’. Harnessing the power of the imagination to present brand and product stories in a way the target audience found involving and challenging.
The Playground at Cisco Live – A space, that for a moment took people away from the intense environment of seminars, breakouts and certification testing. A series of visual experiences and interactions, such as the ‘Game of Drones’, that challenged them to apply their technical skills and knowledge to code the flight path of a drone in a maze.
The result? A 12% increase in attendees, $50m defined sales opportunities and a 4.68 overall experience value from attendees out of a possible 5! We’d call that an outstanding success.

TAYLOR BENNETT PARTNERS – ADOBE SUMMIT 2019
No more digital marketing conference – TBP created a concept, from start to finish based on experience.
The focal point of the Summit Experience was TBP’s 500 m2 jellyfish combined with 84 DMX fans. Its graceful ebbing and flowing represented the user experience of the cloud. The delegate controlled the flow of air and light pattern by moving their hands through lasers connected to motion sensors, giving the user control of the cloud!
To help facilitate business, we had a VIP area within the Community Pavilion called the Customer Meeting Centre (CMC), where over 1000 meetings were held.
The CMC was also used for our executive dining experience, hosted by Michelin-starred chef Jason Atherton.
To create an additional area of interactivity we used a projection map to position a giant letter A. An anamorphic tool with a gyro within it enabled the projected ‘A’ to follow the movements of the user’s hand.
We hired speakers from Law, television, and film to discuss adapting to change and overcoming adversity. All sourced and booked by TBP, they included Amal Clooney, Eddie Redmayne, Edith Bowman, Emily Maitlis, Jack Whitehall and Jess Glynne.
Event coverage received 5.2 million views – 88% year-on-year increase.
