EVERITUM / Planning guide

Your Polish subsidiary launch event checklist

Before booking a venue, agree what the launch should achieve and who needs to attend. This checklist helps your headquarters and local teams work from the same brief.

1. Write the business purpose in one sentence

Identify the milestone: opening an office, introducing the local leadership team, presenting a product or meeting potential partners. Choose one primary purpose so that the programme and invitations can explain why the event matters.

Define what you will record afterwards. Attendance, meetings held and requests for further contact are different measures. A launch event should not be treated as evidence of sales that have not happened.

2. Separate the guest groups

List the people you need to invite: existing clients, potential partners, advisers, company representatives or media. Decide which contacts you already know and where research is required.

Approve the selection criteria, the named list and the invitation message. Set an RSVP deadline and agree who handles confirmations, dietary requirements and changes. Keep invitation scope separate from the final attendance count.

3. Confirm headquarters responsibilities

Name the owners of the budget, brand approvals, speeches and presentation materials. If a headquarters agency is involved, agree which tasks it retains and which the Polish production team will deliver.

Define an approval timetable that leaves room for supplier bookings and rehearsals. Record which changes need a new cost approval and who can make decisions on the day.

4. Match the venue to the actual event

An opening at your new premises needs an assessment of the event layout and supplier access. An external venue needs to support the audience size, ceremony, hospitality and technical requirements.

Review the route from arrival to registration, the main programme and departure. For a venue reached by lifts, such as Skyfall, coordinate guest and supplier movements with the building team.

5. Write the ceremony into the running order

A ribbon-cutting needs its own timing, participants, positions and photo moment. Include any performances or cultural elements in the technical brief, with the appropriate rehearsal time.

EVERITUM’s Warsaw subsidiary opening in January 2024 combined the event programme, invitations and confirmations for an 800-guest opening, a ribbon-cutting and live performances. That record is an example of scope, not a template for every launch.

6. Agree communications and follow-up

Decide whether the event is private, public-facing or designed to include media. Confirm who approves press materials and who can speak for the company. Media outreach does not guarantee publication.

Set the owner of the next contact with each guest group. Agree what the event team will hand over and what your commercial team will do with it, within the agreed data-handling arrangements.

7. Send a complete first brief

Include your company, the launch objective, city, preferred dates, estimated attendance, audience profile, language needs and budget. Add the status of your guest list and any fixed requirements from headquarters.

Private B2B formats typically need 4–12 weeks from signature; a launch conference needs approximately 2–6 months. These are planning ranges, subject to the agreed scope and actual availability.
