2025: A Record Year of Unforgettable Corporate Events Domestically and Internationally

2025 was a year defined by scale, creativity, and unforgettable experiences. From celebrity chef events that turned dining into immersive brand moments, to ancillary activations surrounding the world’s largest annual tech conferences, our team delivered programs that elevated engagement and strengthened client relationships across industries and countries.

We curated sales incentive destination trips that rewarded top performers with once‑in‑a‑lifetime experiences, and designed sports hospitality programs that brought clients closer to the action — from branded tailgates and private suites at coveted games to exclusive receptions with legendary athletes. We even raised the stakes with celebrity poker tournaments and other high‑impact entertainment experiences that blended networking with excitement.

Every activation reflected our commitment to delivering world‑class corporate hospitality and corporate events that drive connection, loyalty, and brand impact. Whether through culinary artistry, executive networking, or global incentive travel, Seven Hills Global continues to redefine what it means to create meaningful experiences for clients and their partners.
