The big company event with comTeam Systemhaus GmbH, b-ceed and plenty of horsepower
Anna’s account: “What awaited me there exceeded my expectations.”
After an already exciting week full of company events and the complex event planning that went with them, the last week of September ended at our event agency 
b-ceed
with an absolute highlight!
On 29 September, I set off with the rest of the team for Mendig in the Eifel, to the Test Event Area at the old airfield. Planning in the office had been going on for months, and I’d already heard a lot about the schedule and set-up, but what awaited me there exceeded my expectations.
Several days of event set-up, installation, preparation and monitoring
The high-powered event got under way two days before I arrived, with our event agency’s biggest client: comTeam Systemhaus GmbH. More than 30 exhibitors were expected, showcasing their best products and services, as they do every year. The day was packed with innovative event activities, delicious food and, finally, the absolute highlight at the airport: the “White Night” and its finale.
First a meeting, then a conference, then a trade fair and finally …
After a meeting on Wednesday and various workshops on Thursday, the event reached its climax on Friday!
Early in the morning, several fully loaded lorries set off for the former military airfield, the site of the legendary Rock am Ring festival in 2015 and 2016. In my opinion, the perfect venue for the event. We had an aircraft hangar and a helicopter hangar at our disposal, as well as numerous rooms and the huge outdoor area, including meadows and a runway.
Trade fair meets exhibition meets unforgettable guest experience
Everything had been set up in the hangars by b-ceed several days beforehand, and the technical equipment and catering were already ready to go. Slowly but surely, exhibitors and visitors began to arrive, but above all, so did the fast cars. A Ferrari here, a Porsche there, and several Volkswagen Sciroccos on the other side of the hall. And right in the middle? Me!
But before I could take it all in, there was some work to do. I was tasked with setting up our Carrera track, over 18 metres long, with help from my male colleagues. And yes, it’s just as you’d expect: it’s an unbelievable amount of work, but the result is breathtaking.
Simulators, drifting, Porsche and Scirocco races
Alongside the XXL Carrera track and two racing simulators, there were plenty of other exciting activities. The vehicles mentioned earlier weren’t just there to admire. You could ride as a passenger in a Porsche, take on the drift area or get behind the wheel of a Scirocco yourself. A must-do, and not just for the male guests.
Although I was working at this incredible event, I had the chance to feel the horsepower of one of the Porsches and speed down the runway with a professional racing driver.
A helicopter flight to leave the ground behind
In keeping with the venue, there was also the chance to try out the latest flight simulators, or even leave the ground and fly over the airport’s extensive grounds in a helicopter or plane. THE opportunity to take extraordinary photos and create unforgettable memories!
After the high-horsepower hours came the finale: the grand “White Night”
Towards evening, after a fast-paced day full of horsepower, the “White Night” began. The elegant evening event in the aircraft hangar, which we, as an event agency
had festively decorated. After the final touches to the tables, the band’s soundcheck, and the setting up of the buffet and cocktail bar, the evening celebrations began for our guests. That was where the event ended for me.
Several days of event management with b-ceed’s expert know-how
After these action-packed days, exhibitors and visitors got talking and celebrated the successful event.
A great success for me, too! I was able to help organise a top-class event and even experience this impressive day for myself.
My conclusion
Every event at b-ceed
is exciting and captivating, but an event on this scale is truly incomparable.
