Reflecting on a Decade: Highlights from the 10th Edition of the Guernsey Funds Forum

In 2019, Guernsey Finance proudly celebrated the milestone 10th edition of the Guernsey Funds Forum, aptly titled 'Restart.' This landmark event served as a platform to explore the narrative for the future of investment funds in Guernsey, positioning the island as an ideal destination for investment in 2020 and beyond.

Against the backdrop of significant global events, including Brexit and other geopolitical shifts, the forum delved into themes of sustainability, innovation, and the art of restarting in the face of adversity. With a nod to nostalgia and a desire to celebrate a decade of success with elegance and distinction, the event took on a retro-inspired vibe.

To set the stage for this momentous occasion, I curated a unique and immersive space adorned with bespoke sculptures and room decor, centered around the theme of restart icons. Additionally, attendees were treated to a special takeaway in the form of a unique Guernsey cookbook, adding a touch of local flavor and charm to the proceedings.

But that's not all – as the mastermind behind the event's design, I left no stone unturned. From marketing campaigns to sponsorship packages, web assets to stage sets, room wraps to presentations, and media screens to coffee stations, every aspect of the event experience was meticulously crafted to delight attendees and create lasting impressions.

Bespoke installations, including a custom lightbox inspired by the event branding and green leaf motifs, as well as custom spheres hanging from the ceiling, added an extra layer of visual intrigue and sophistication to the event space. Not only did these installations elevate the ambiance of the forum, but they also served a dual purpose for future events, maximizing value for the events team.

The attention to detail extended to every facet of the event, including posters, advertising materials, entrance wraps, cupcake toppers, and even a bespoke 10-year anniversary logo. Moreover, a successful campaign on the London Underground ensured that the event garnered widespread attention and interest.

In retrospect, the 10th edition of the Guernsey Funds Forum was not just a celebration of past achievements but also a testament to the power of creativity and innovation in shaping the future. Through meticulous planning and execution, we succeeded in creating an unforgettable experience that set the stage for continued success in the years to come.
