You’ve mentioned in previous interviews that brainstorming plays a key role in your event planning process. Could you share a bit more about how your team develops innovative ideas for such events?
Absolutely! Brainstorming is where the magic happens for us at Endorphina. We all sit down, sharing ideas for the event, discussing concepts, bouncing off each other’s thoughts, and building on each other’s suggestions. Everyone in my team has a unique idea, and it’s fantastic to see it all coming together.
During our brainstorming sessions, we write everything down, no matter how crazy or ambitious it is. The goal is to create a space where everyone feels comfortable sharing their wildest ideas. We encourage out-of-the-box thinking and embrace the unexpected. By combining different perspectives and experiences, we’re able to come up with truly innovative event concepts that leave a lasting impression.
