Compresso implements ETH staff festival "TogETHer 2022
Compresso comprehensively supported the Event Management department of ETH Zurich in the conception and realization of this year's staff party. About 4'000 employees of ETH Zurich and their families celebrated on Friday on the Hönggerberg campus until late at night.
For three years now, Compresso has been supporting the Event Management group of the Events and Hospitality section of ETH Zurich with professional event and project management. In accordance with the rotation, the university has again advertised the mandate this spring on SIMAP, the information system on public procurement in Switzerland, as a pitch.
In a multi-stage evaluation process, Compresso was again able to prevail and thus takes over the role of a professional external event partner for ETH Zurich for another three years. Shortly after the contract was awarded, the Compresso team was already fully challenged with the organization of a major event.
"TogETHer 2022" with 4,000 guests
On Friday, after a longer pandemic-related break, the "TogETHer"! could take place on the Hönggerberg campus. About 4'000 people participated in the traditional ETH staff party.
Compresso has further developed the party house concept adopted from the "TogETHer" event 2018 and loaded it with additional attractions. The campus was divided - analogous to a residential house - into individual rooms and zones such as kitchen, living room, children's room, hobby room, pergola, etc.. In each area, different attractions and food & beverage offers awaited the big and small guests.
The accompanying sound was provided by the Lucerne a cappella combo Vocabular, the band accoustic 4 and DJ Nameless. Presenter Rubina Meixger led through the program.
Event Full Service from Compresso
The overall management of the project on the part of ETH was in the hands of Thomas Meissner from the Services Section Events & Hospitality. Compresso organized the event as a full-service provider. Special attention was paid to waste avoidance and energy efficiency. All communication before and during the event was done electronically.
Support at other ETH events
The Compresso team will support ETH to varying degrees at other important events in the coming months, including the Latsis Symposium, the RESC Symposium, the Radiocarbon & Archaeology Conference, ETH Week, and ETH Day.
