A global off-site for Next Energy Group, bringing 350 employees from nine countries together for the first time with an all-hands, eco team building
For more than two years, Next Energy Group had been working together from nine different countries. Same mission. Same goals. But mostly through screens.
So when the time finally came to bring 350 people together in one place, this wasn’t just another off-site. It was a first meeting. A reunion. And for many, the first time putting a real human to a Slack profile picture.
Next Energy Group wanted the day to feel purposeful, energising, and true to their sustainability values—without feeling heavy or over-produced.
That’s where Stacked Events came in.
We designed the day to build momentum—starting with clarity and alignment, moving into creativity and collaboration, and ending with a well-earned celebration.
Simple structure. Big energy.
The day kicked off with an all-hands conference, bringing everyone together to hear from leadership and align on what’s next for the business.
We delivered a full AV setup, including staging, screens, sound, and tech support—so everything ran smoothly and the focus stayed on the message.
And the difference was immediate. When you’re no longer on mute, ideas land differently. Reactions are shared. Energy builds. You could feel the shift in the room.

Each team had to:
After an initial round of judging, the top teams pitched their ideas Apprentice- or Dragon’s Den-style. Five minutes. Any format they liked.
What followed was equal parts creativity, collaboration, and chaos—in the best way. People who’d never worked together before were suddenly problem-solving, pitching, and cheering each other on.
As the work wrapped up, the mood shifted.
The conference space turned into Nextival—a laid-back, festival-style celebration designed to help people relax and connect.
The evening included:
After years of video calls and time-zone juggling, this was about laughter, conversation, and finally spending time together—no Wi-Fi required.
Stacked Events worked closely with Next Energy Group to bring the whole experience together, keeping things simple, smooth, and stress-free.
We supported with:
So the Next Energy Group team could focus on their people, not the logistics.
