The challenge
A department at Meta wanted a holiday party for a thousand people — and did not want to force a single activity on all of them. A candle-making enthusiast and someone who would rather paint should not have to compromise. But choice at that scale multiplies everything: four separate supply chains, four sets of shipping addresses, four facilitation tracks, and one shared room that still has to feel like one party.
What we did
- Deployed a pre-event selection survey so every employee chose their own activity
- Managed four parallel kit fulfillment streams against a single event date
- Designed a run-of-show that opened and closed together, and personalized in the middle
- Staffed the event with enough facilitators to keep breakout rooms at a size where people could actually be seen and heard
The result
A thousand employees across the globe got a holiday party that felt personal and collective at the same time. Everyone made something they had chosen themselves, then came back together for a competitive round of Music Bingo. The bookend structure is the reason it worked — shared moments at the start and finish, individual choice in the middle.
“The team loved it. So much so, the competition continued after our session was over. Really appreciate you all for helping me to pull this off.”
