Attention, event professionals! Planning an event in Asia can be an exciting adventure, but navigating regional nuances presents unique challenges. Here at Variety Communications, we’ve mastered the art of overcoming these obstacles to deliver seamless and unforgettable experiences.
Common Challenges:
Language Barriers: Communication is key! We leverage our multilingual team and cultural sensitivity to bridge communication gaps between clients, vendors, and attendees across Asia. For example, our team is fluent in Bahasa Indonesia, Melayu, Chinese (Mandarin and Cantonese), Tamil, and English, allowing us to effectively cater to audiences across Southeast Asia and beyond.
Diverse Business Practices: Meeting expectations requires understanding regional business etiquette. We adapt our approach to each project, ensuring a smooth and respectful collaboration. For instance, in South Asian cultures, building rapport and trust is essential before diving into business specifics. In contrast, East Asian cultures often prioritize efficiency and direct communication. We understand these nuances and tailor our communication style accordingly.
Logistics and Infrastructure: From navigating unique transportation options (like rickshaws in South Asia or bullet trains in Japan) to adapting to varying venue capabilities, we handle logistics with meticulous planning and resourceful solutions.
Our Approach:
Pre-Event Research & Planning: We delve deep into local customs, regulations, and infrastructure before we start. This allows us to anticipate potential roadblocks and develop contingency plans.
Multicultural Team & Local Partnerships: Our diverse team understands cultural differences and builds strong local partnerships for reliable vendor services and smooth execution.
Flexibility & Adaptability: We embrace unexpected situations and have a proven track record of adjusting plans while maintaining the event vision and client satisfaction.
