Our fourth “Explore” with the Jack Morton Team was nothing short of thrilling! This year brought a slightly smaller setup but packed it with the same exciting challenges—plus a few unexpected twists that kept everyone on their toes.

Barcelona greeted us with exceptionally heavy rainfall, leading to local flooding across the city and some unique hurdles on site. But where there’s a challenge, there’s an opportunity to shine! The event control team proved to be the heartbeat of operations, managing an influx of issues radioed in from production teams on the ground. With swift coordination between the venue, safety teams, and our expert planners, the team prioritized and tackled every situation with precision. Whether it was pooling water or ensuring equipment safety, their balanced and decisive response kept the event on track.

Once the effects of the torrential downpour were handled, the magic of the event truly came to life. Attendees immersed themselves in four vibrant days of presentations, hands-on labs, and an impressive expo. The energy and excitement were contagious, and despite the weather’s attempt to steal the show, it was clear: this Explore was an incredible success, thanks to teamwork, preparation, and a touch of resilience!

This year’s Unite event unfolded in the vibrant city of Barcelona, spanning several venues, with the Palau de Congressos serving as the main stage. The event attracted over 2,000 enthusiastic attendees from across the globe, uniting a diverse mix of industry professionals, developers, and innovators.

Martin was catapulted into the event at the last minute and confidently took the reins as the Health & Safety Advisor. He collaborated closely with the event team to ensure every detail of the event was delivered safely, smoothly, and successfully. From start to finish, his expertise helped the Unity team achieve another fantastic milestone.

While the key challenges were meticulously outlined during the planning phase—where most of the magic happens—events of this scale are never without surprises. However, this year stood out as an exception. Thanks to diligent preparation and a proactive approach, the unexpected hurdles were more like minor speed bumps. Whether it was adjusting to small on-site snags or responding to evolving circumstances, the team navigated it all seamlessly, earning high praise for their exceptional planning and execution.

In the end, the event didn’t just meet expectations; it exceeded them, leaving attendees inspired and the event team proud of another job well done. It’s a testament to the power of great teamwork, careful planning, and a solid dose of adaptability!

We had the honour of working closely with key stakeholders and the UK Military to help deliver a truly memorable and meaningful event in Normandy, commemorating one of the most significant moments in history.

The event was attended by 2,300 guests of the Royal British Legion, including 40 esteemed D-Day veterans and several VVIPs, making it a deeply poignant occasion. Every detail of the planning was meticulously thought through, particularly in collaboration with the UK Military, whose expertise and precision were invaluable.

The event was broadcast live to audiences worldwide, with the BBC providing comprehensive coverage that captured the solemnity and significance of the day. Behind the scenes, our teams worked tirelessly with local agencies, coordinating closely with security teams across the region to ensure everything ran smoothly and respectfully.

This extraordinary occasion was more than just an event—it was a tribute to the bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom. The collaboration, dedication, and care that went into every aspect of the planning reflected the deep respect we all share for the veterans and their legacy. It was an incredible privilege to be part of such a historic and heartfelt commemoration.

A large technical element in the form of 120+ metre ground support, projection, 126 metres of LED stage and grandstand seating for 10,600 people all indoors was a challenge for this project. Time spent pre production managed to identify and eliminate keys risks. The delivery took over 8 days on round the clock build with day and night teams working well together to put this in place.

Staff welfare was very important, especially ensuring that people had the opportunity to rest between shifts and were looked after whilst on site. Both production teams did a really good job of managing their teams and contractors to keep people fresh and productive each day.

The event took place in November but we started working with the team in July planning for the event.

The venue was new to us: Taets Arts and Event Space and the Heineken Experience, so liaising with both venues was important. Extensive capacity calculations and audience management were also required in addition to the usual event safety provision.

There were several challenges ensuring the event spaces were sufficient size and safe to use, and the production teams did a great job making the spaces look great, and safe for the attendees.

A healthy supply of Stroop waffles was essential in helping us get through the 12 days on-site.

Our 3rd VMware Explore with the Jack Morton Team. It’s bigger and better than 2022 as things recover back to pre-COVID ways.

This year, a dedicated event control was used to great effect, consolidating processes and providing a central focal point for event departments to communicate with and streamline response to requests and issues so that things were dealt with quickly before becoming a problem.

We returned to Cannes for a second year to work with some old and new faces on the beach.

Tony and Mark provided the on-site safety for the duration of the project, with Chris and Tony producing the event documentation and plans for the project.

The weather and in particular the strong winds and occasional thunderstorms tested our plans but enabled the project to operate safely, and there were only a few occasions where Tony and Mark had to pause the load in due to adverse weather.

We worked closely from the beginning of the project with Andy Peat and his team looking at how we manage the safety for a 24-hour load in and load out on a beach in the South of France. There were challenges, with crane operations being carried out from a highway and over onto the beach in order to supply the equipment to build the event.

The superb logistical and technical organisation from Andy and his team allowed this process to happen seamlessly each night, and during the day, in 35˚C temperatures, the crews worked hard to deliver the event.

Welfare was key to ensuring that all crew were well looked after and had access to everything they need for them to deliver their elements of the project, to specification, on time and safely.

Hopefully, we will be back in 2023!

This project was a challenge from the start as we were still very much in the COVID pandemic and had to plan ahead from June for a production to be built and shot in November.

Working closely with Sophie Huda and Natalie Truelove from Penny Lane TV we created a detailed plan of how to manage the risk of COVID-19 to crew, staff and performers, and keep them protected through information on how to keep safe along with safe working practices and regular rapid testing, helped keep the production filming and no one came down with COVID-19 during our time on set.

In addition to COVID-19, we also managed the normal production health and safety from build and break and during filming.

So many people put a lot of hard wor into this production from the top down and it helped keep us all in safe working space.

We were part of a larger event management team involved in the build, event and break for this fantastic family festival set in the beautiful surroundings of Henham Park.

The build took approximately three weeks, and we managed the build and break safety with the team from Festival Republic on site, switching into an Event Safety role during the event.

There are challenges with this event, from the many trees on site that need to be checked and managed, the bugs which love people in hi-viz, the many structures that are built, working on and near water, and bridge building. Many different aspects to health and safety. A great event to be part of and plenty to learn from.

The event runs over three days and is attended by 35,000 people.
