Insights for planners

Practical guides for corporate event planners.

Written for the person planning the event, not the person on stage. Each guide covers what event committees ask about most often before the first planning call.

These guides cover practical questions event planners raise before most bookings in Singapore: how to choose a corporate emcee, what to include in an emcee brief, how to plan D&D games and lucky draws, and how to structure a gala awards night timeline.

What to look for, what to ask, and how to tell whether an emcee fits your event before you book.

What to Include in a Corporate Emcee Brief

The information an emcee needs to give you an accurate quote, and the questions to ask before committing.

D&D Games and Lucky Draw Checklist

A run-of-show checklist for games that land with colleagues and lucky draws that keep the energy up.

Gala Awards Night Timeline and Cues

An illustrative gala programme with example timings and a checklist for agreeing production cues.
