Riverside Summit

A fintech summit in a converted riverside hall: two stages, four food changeovers a day, zero late sessions.

Overview

The brief was blunt: six hundred finance professionals, two stages, and a venue whose kitchen was one domestic oven. We brought the field kitchen, built the running order around four food services, and kept every session inside its slot.

Services used: venue, catering, speakers and film.

The challenge

Feeding 600 from one oven

The hall's kitchen could not serve a summit. We installed our mobile field kitchen in the courtyard and designed a bowl-food menu that held heat across two sittings of three hundred.

The approach

Food inside the breaks

Changeovers were choreographed into the session gaps: mains cleared in eleven minutes, coffee live before applause ended. The programme never waited for lunch.

“The first summit where lunch finished before the next talk started. Our sponsors noticed — so did our board.”
