At a conference or a trade show nobody stops at a stand because of the leaflet. They stop because something is happening: a queue, a leaderboard, laughter, people watching. Conference games exist for exactly that: driving footfall, opening conversation and leaving a memory attached to your brand.At United Events we set up this kind of activation at trade shows and conferences in Barcelona, Madrid and across Spain. These are the 10 games from our catalogue that work best on an exhibition floor: quick to play, easy to understand with no explanation and designed for an audience that rotates all day long.

For many teams, the company Christmas dinner is the only night of the year when everyone gets together outside the office. When it goes well, people talk about it until the summer; when it is just a set menu and a long sit-down, by eleven o'clock half the room is checking their phones. The difference is rarely the restaurant: it is what happens before, during and after the meal.In this guide we bring together practical ideas to liven up your company's Christmas dinner in Barcelona, from a casino night to karaoke or a Christmas photo booth. We also explain how to organise it step by step, when you should book and which factors affect the budget. Everything we suggest is set up by us, with our own team and our own equipment.
