Inspired by “Race Across the World” Is Train travel really more sustainable?

Sustainability / Inspired by “Race Across the World” Is Train travel really more sustainable?By /

If you’ve been captivated by the BBC’s Race Across the World, you’ll know the thrill of travelling between destinations without planes, phones, or debit cards. The show celebrates travelling through, not just over  – the joy of actually seeing and experiencing the world as you move through it. Join us as we explore the sustainability of train travel which may result in you choosing train travel for your next event

After a recent series, we saw on Instagram one of the contestants, Alfie, embark on an incredible budget journey from London to Dubai via Poland, Albania, and Georgia, taking the next cheapest flight. It got us thinking: how could we recreate that Race Across the World adventure while not compromising the planet?

Scrolling is killing your attention span

Communications, Social Media / Scrolling is killing your attention spanBy /

Scrolling is killing our attention spans! Apparently scrolling reels and videos is destroying our ability to concentrate. We are now seeing shorter TED talks. We’ve all heard we have to grab people’s attention in the first 3 seconds of a video or they scroll past. That, together with our demand for short form video has led us to believe our attention spans are getting shorter. But are they?

Everyone thinks organising events is easy. After all, we’ve all organised a birthday get-together, a holiday, a hen doo, or maybe even a wedding. Before you start, you think it’s easy – everyone does it – it must be! We, as humans, usually default to what everyone else does and put the emphasis on the logistics because that’s all that matters, right?

What event producers can learn from Unreasonable Hospitality

Business, Connection, Event Planning / What event producers can learn from Unreasonable HospitalityBy /


Event producers can learn from unreasonable hospitality – the book by Will Guidara how to create belonging, love, joy, and extraordinary experience. In the book Unreasonable Hospitality, Will Guidara shares the philosophy that helped him transform a GREAT restaurant into the BEST IN THE WORLD – not through perfection, but through connection. For those of us designing and delivering events, his message is a powerful reminder: it’s not just about who is speaking or how good the tech set up is. It’s about how we make people feel.

Building the Tea and Toast community

Community, Events / Building the Tea and Toast communityBy /

This is the story of building the Tea and Toast community. A few years ago, we were having a conversation with Hannah, a marketing manager for a local organisation, and thought it would be nice to start the day off well by having a cuppa and meeting other interesting creatives in the local area.

The idea for Tea&Toast was planted. We were bored of business networking, referral groups and pressure to demonstrate how successful and accomplished you were. There was an appetite to meet, have a cuppa, an interesting and stimulating chat and leave saying, “Hope you have a great day!”, feeling positive for the day ahead.
