AFAS ERP Software from Leusden has a tradition to uphold when it comes to organizing the annual staff party. Months in advance, all employees and their partners are busy collecting the perfect costume for the evening. Because: AFAS always celebrates its staff party in style. 450 gala-clad employees with partners were guests at a very special location this evening.
Especially for this occasion, the sailing event venue the Pureliner was transformed into a real Loveboat. As in the 1970s television series of the same name, at the gangway Loveboat Captain Merrill Stubing and cruise director Judy McCoy were ready to give guests a warm welcome. Live Impact conceived and organized the annual staff party for AFAS for the second consecutive year.
Love, exiting and new …
After the mooring lines were untied, the stately boat with its large open roof sailed slowly through the waters of Amsterdam. A balmy summer evening breeze and the twinkling starry sky did the rest.
After a real captain’s dinner with exclusive dishes, the musical Loveboat crew provided a special danceable show with a high sing-along content. The master shakers of the Fabolous Cocktail Boys mixed summer cocktails continuously during the staff party while the white casino lounge allowed the adventurous to take a gamble. DJ champion Marcel Aarts set the stage for a swinging finale to the staff party with singer Belle Perez and her live band.
Tailor-made branding
A special feature of this event was that the entire Loveboat had undergone an AFAS branding makeover. Right down to the displays on the drink taps, it was clear who was the proud organizer of this special event. Several days after the staff party, enthusiastic reactions could still be read via Twitter and Facebook.
AFAS ERP Software asked Live Impact to come up with an original concept and organize the entire staff party.
