Managing Director Dwain Richardson said clients have historically requested either one of a team building event or a corporate event, function or conference.

“However we are starting to see an increasing number of clients actually request a combination of both, which we absolutely love, as we get to deliver almost our full suite of capabilities in the one event,” said Richardson.

A recent showcase of this for Corporate Challenge Events was with its long-time client Epic Pharmacy.

Epic is one of Australia’s largest pharmacy service providers to the hospital, oncology and aged care sector, and this year has become part of the Icon Group, one of Australia’s largest cancer care providers with businesses including Icon Cancer Care, Radiation Oncology Centres (ROC) and Slade Health.

A few weeks ago, Icon invited staff from its various businesses around Australia to celebrate 2015 at a Christmas party with a difference in Brisbane.

The event was entitled ‘Brisbane to our CORE’ and featured a two-day program including a conference, Christmas party and team building program.

Corporate Challenge Events was an integral partner in the organisation and delivery of the two-day program.

Its Conferences & Events department worked closely with Icon in the professional conference organisation for 150 delegates on the Saturday afternoon, and then presenting an amazing Christmas party experience for over 500 at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre on the Saturday night.

The Team Building department of Corporate Challenge Events then gave Icon another memorable and rewarding experience on the Sunday.

More than 300 team members representing Icon participated in what was named the ‘Charity Scramble’, which provided everyone with a fun glimpse of Brisbane as a destination in a charity-focused team building program.

The teams in ‘Charity Scramble’ built 20 wooden toys which were all presented to kids from Camp Quality at the end of the program, providing a truly memorable and rewarding experience for all involved.

For the client, Icon, the two-day program provided an experience beyond their expectations and the feedback from staff across its various business units was overwhelming.

“The theme for the weekend was ‘Brisbane to our Core’, recognising that the Icon, ROC and Epic businesses all commenced their operations in South East Queensland, and we had a lot of fun sharing the best of Brisbane with our team mates from other locations around the state and country,” said Cathie Reid, Managing Partner of Epic Pharmacy Group in her regular blog.

In conclusion, Ms Reid shared her team’s final experience of the weekend – the opportunity to build and give toys to children from Camp Quality.

“The joy on the children’s faces was absolutely beautiful to see, and lots of tears were shed as people saw a weekend which had been filled with so much Christmas cheer expand to an even greater level.”
