Salon Empresarial 1: where the chief commercial officer presents Q4 results and where the regional coordinator takes home the backpack with the new isotype
Salon Empresarial 1 in CDMX is the flagship hall of the corporate tower where Mexican companies with regional networks, multilatinas with LATAM presence and multinationals with Mexican subsidiaries hold their annual product launch, the biannual sales convention, the regional leadership meeting and the Q4 results presentation to commercial partners. The capacity of Salon Empresarial 1 runs from 120 to 180 attendees in school format with round tables of eight, 140 in theatre format with central aisle, 200 in cocktail format with catering stations. The stage holds a four-person panel, a presidential table with logo, a 5x3 metre LED screen, simultaneous electronic voting system, back-of-house with press room, protocol room and dressing room. The clear height is 4.5 metres, enough to hang 3-metre corporate banners and to assemble a two-level modular stand. The Salon Empresarial 1 kitchen runs two catering tiers (executive, premium) and a bar with curated spirits. We coordinate four merch packages for corporate launches and conventions.
