Meeting over? Let’s have drinks on the terrace!
Venue scouting and meeting and cocktail party planning
The client request
Cocktail and networking
Lazard Asset Management, a US-based investment bank with offices in Europe, sought a venue in Milan. The intention behind their quest was to coordinate an event comprising a business meeting, culminating in a final cocktails and networking session. They envisioned an arrangement that combined professional interests with an opportunity to relax in this beautiful city.
The Smart Eventi proposal
Plentiful aperitif ona a magnificent terrace
After considering multiple venues, we selected a magnificent terrace in central Milan for this event. With its compact meeting room and the option to rent either part or all of the terrace for the networking aperitivo, it matched the client's needs perfectly. As the group size was less than 50, a section of the terrace sufficed, promoting an intimate yet relaxing setting. The icing on the cake was a plentiful aperitif, served by a professional catering and bar team. This feature not only amplified the leisurely end to a business meeting but also reflected thoughtful resources arranged to cater to the client's requirements. The event thus morphed into a flavourful networking opportunity against a picturesque Milanese backdrop. This scenario epitomises how social events can mesh successfully with professional undertakings.
Achived results
Perfect balance of comfort and engagement
The event turned out to be a resounding success, achieving all the set objectives. The meeting room's size proved to be perfectly tailored to the number of guests, striking a perfect balance of comfort and engagement. Further enhancing the experience, the outstanding quality of the cuisine received unanimous approval.
