7 years of collaboration between Philanthropy and Government to bring this remaking to life

In a stunning display of glamour and philanthropy, the Whitehall Ballroom at The OWO recently hosted London's Air Ambulance Gala, an event that was nothing short of spectacular. Among the guests were royalty and Hollywood stars alike, including Prince William and Tom Cruise. This gathering not only underscored the significance of the cause but also highlighted the fruition of a vision that began years ago during the early planning stages of The OWO. From its inception, the goal for Raffles London at The OWO was clear: to create a hotel that would not only serve as a beacon of luxury and elegance but also as a venue for the world's most prestigious events. The recent charity events are a testament to the countless hours spent in the meticulous planning and execution of this vision by EPR Architects, Hinduja Group Limited, Raffles Hotels & Resorts, The Office of Thierry W. Despont Ltd. and the entire team of world-class consultants. Tatler's recent coverage of the event further cements The OWO's status as a venue that attracts the highest echelons of society. Naming the ballroom 'The Whitehall Ballroom' was a very deliberate choice to reflect its distinguished location and imbue a strong sense of place. The ballroom's name resonates with a legacy of grandeur and importance, aligning perfectly with the events it aims to host. This branding decision is a prime example of how thoughtful naming and marketing strategies can enhance the identity and perception of a venue. The OWO's journey from concept to realization is a narrative of vision, unwavering commitment by owners, and strategic branding. #Branding #Marketing #EventPlanning #LuxuryEvents #TheOWO #WhitehallBallroom https://lnkd.in/ebjCZYtb

I'm a member of PAMPA - a community and network of producers, agents and managers (based across Europe) who work in the performing arts. There's 15 of us, all volunteering, coming together and dedicating our time to specific working groups and the wider PAMPA cause. Over the coming months we're hosting/holding some public spaces and sharing knowledge and resources to connect with others as we know the role of the independent producer can sometimes be lonely. 1) Come and join us in Brussels on 16th May at KFDA where we'll discuss, exchange knowledge and hear from KFDA Co-Artistic Director Daniel Blanga Gubbay. 2) We'll be sharing some findings of our Europe wide survey (analysed and supported by On The Move) which gathered 380 responses from people in 25 countries and creates a greater understanding of our realities and care responsibilities. 3) One of the areas I've been working on is a pool of resources - we’re attempting to gather and share links to existing online resources around our roles and working practices. There's over 100 so far split across case studies, fair practices, sustainability, finances, education and mobility. If you know of some resources that aren't on the list, there's a Google Form to tell us about it and I'll update it. 4) Next month (6th June, 13:00-14:30 CET) we're hosting our first Open Online Session for those who want connect, share thoughts and exchange on specific topics that are relevant to our work. To register for meeting in Brussels, sign up to the newsletter or contribute a new resource, head to our website. https://lnkd.in/gbFzn_n4 #network #performingarts #europe #producers
