Background.
A first kick-off for a business spread across the world.
PPRO wanted its first GSKO to be more than a conference.
PPRO's teams work across international markets, so bringing them together in person is one of the best ways to build relationships and set direction for the year ahead. Taking place in January 2026, PPRO wanted an event that communicated business priorities and celebrated achievements while reflecting the energy and personality of the business. The challenge was to balance a busy three-day programme and multiple content streams with time to collaborate, network and celebrate.
The Solution.
A three-day programme built around people and spaces.
WMP Creative planned, produced and ran the event from first brief to final session.
We worked as an extension of PPRO's team from initial planning through to final delivery. Our responsibilities included venue sourcing and liaison, delegate management, AV and technical production, speaker management, show calling, branding, food and beverage, team building, entertainment and on-site management.
With multiple spaces, speakers and activities running across three days, careful coordination kept the programme on track, and the team stayed flexible as PPRO's requirements evolved.
The PPRO Arena: one room for the whole company.
At the heart of the event was the PPRO Arena, a dedicated plenary environment for keynote presentations, business updates and shared discussions. Alongside it, a series of syndicate rooms hosted smaller workshops and breakout sessions, encouraging collaboration and more focused conversations, so delegates could move naturally between presentations and hands-on sessions.
The Hub: a place to reconnect and recharge.
Between sessions, The Hub gave delegates a relaxed, informal space to network, exchange ideas and recharge. Themed food and drink through the breaks made it a lively meeting point for the whole event.
More than a conference: street food, team building and awards.
One evening centred on a Street Food Festival in the venue's historic chapel. WMP transformed the space with creative dressing and atmospheric lighting, drawing on food and cultures from around the world to reflect PPRO's global reach. The programme also included team-building activities and an awards celebration to recognise achievements and the people behind PPRO's success.

With 3 days of programming, feedback from PPRO's teams was strongly positive with many describing it as their best event ever.
